I know what you're saying. Do I really have to wait 30 days to see number 1? My answer...at least!

112. SMU Mustangs (1-11)-

Best Game-W 45-31 North Texas. June Jones is leaving a one-loss program, Hawaii, and wonderful weather to come to this? The good thing about one-loss teams is that it makes it easy to figure out their best game of the year. Part of the reason SMU is rated above other teams which won more than it did is because they were involved in quite a few close ones this season. Five of their games were lost by a touchdown and an extra point or less. Jones will be taking over a 10-game losing streak, which, when combined with his 1-game losing streak in Hawaii makes it an 11-game losing streak. Wait, that doesn’t make any sense. Will Jones now wear cowboy hats instead of Hawaiian shirts?

Worst Game-L 7-28 Southern Miss. SMU was just coming off of an inspiring 3-point loss to UTEP. Then they ran into a buzz saw known as the GOLDEN EAGLES OF SOUTHERN MISS. Now Southern Miss had just lost to Rice, the only Division 1-A team named for a food. This was the Mustangs chance to turn their season around and give their fan hope and meaning in his life. But, alas, due to complicated NCAA guidelines too complicated to explain, games must still be played on the field, even fields in Hattiesburg, Miss. After spotting the Golden Eagles a 28-0 lead, SMU started launching its comeback in the fourth quarter, but then one of those pesky NCAA rules about games only being 60 minutes ruined even that.

111. Kent State Golden Flashes (3-9)-

Best Game-W 33-25 Ohio. How many Division 1-A teams have the name Golden in their nicknames? And what the heck is a Golden Flash? Were there ever any portrayed on the Golden Girls? Would we have seen some at the Golden Globes had they not been cancelled? I don’t think they should have nixed the Globes just because no actors were going to be there. Sure, the ratings would have stunk, but I would have watched just to not have to hear actors spew political all over my newly cleaned TV screen. This is another youth soccer team name and I already used all of my jokes for that in my North Texas write-up.

Worst Game-L 14-24 Temple. Did you know at one point of the season Kent State was actually 3-2? Golden Flashes fans were already starting to save up for their bowl games tickets. Their problem was Ohio. Not the school (they beat them, see above) but the state. They scheduled five games in a row with teams from the Buckeye state, including the Buckeyes and lost four of those and their season was done. By the time they got to this game against the Owls, all they had left to play for was Kent State pride and really, how far can that carry you? Check out Golden Flashes quarterback Jon Brown’s line in the second half. He was 1-for-11 with four interceptions. Very Ryan Leaf-esque.

110. New Mexico State Aggies (4-9)-

Best Game-W 45-31 Idaho. Just like Kent State, there was a point in the season where New Mexico State was 3-2. They had pounded down juggernauts like Southeastern Louisiana and Arkansas-Pine Bluff which are schools just down the road from good schools like LSU and Arkansas. But unlike the Golden Flashes, the Aggies didn’t just fold like Hillary Clinton in Iowa. (Lame, I know, but since this blog is on Townhall.com, I’m legally obligated to throw in a Hillary Clinton dig. Not that it wasn’t fun.) No, when they fell to 3-4, they battled back against the 119^th-rated Vandals. Only then did they phone in the rest of the season. Hey, that’s the difference between 111 and 110.

Worst Game-L 17-51 San Jose State. Exhibit number one that the Aggies were just playing out the string. New Mexico State shouldn’t be losing by 34 points to the Spartans. Heck, no one should ever lose by 34 points to San Jose State. Heck, no one has ever lost by 34 points to San Jose State! This made the third victory for the Spartans over teams named Aggies. They beat Utah State and UC Davis also. There are only 120 Division 1-A teams (or 119 according to Sports Illustrated, I’ll talk about this later). Why do so many of the teams have the same nicknames. There are at least three Aggies and three Huskies. It’s like the CFL having two out of eight teams being named the Roughriders.

109. Temple Owls (4-8)-

Best Game-W 24-17 Miami (OH). Temple was rolling along as it usually does with all of the fire and passion of a Fred Thompson presidential campaign. (Townhall.com, we salute you!) Meaning that five games into the season, they were 0-5, having given up 30-or-more points four times. But something happened after that 21-37 loss to 113^th ranked Army. Was it Temple pride? Was it Owl anger? We may never know. What we do know is that Temple then won three games in a row for the first time since 1990, the third one being this powerful win against the RedHawks. And, yes, it’s true the Owls then lost three of four after this, but let’s celebrate the positive, shall we? Speaking of which…

Worst Game-L 7-42 Buffalo. Admittedly, losing to Buffalo 42-7 is pretty bad. But you know what else is bad. That one of the most celebrated sports web sites missed the fact that Western Kentucky became a Division 1-A team this season. Sports Illustrated ranked the college teams week-after-week, a daunting task to be sure, but only rated 119 of them. Why? Does it know something I don’t? Did one team drop out of Division 1-A when Western Kentucky entered in? Nope, because if you go through their rankings, Western Kentucky is nowhere to be found. What am I saying? I’m saying if you want to see the final rankings of 120, not 119, teams, you’re at the right place.
