1. Sept. 10:
Texas at Ohio StateRegular season, non-conference games don't get much better than this. Texas has national championship aspirations and its fleet-footed QB, Vince Young, has Heisman hopes, but both causes could be crushed with a loss in Columbus. Ohio State is looking to regain its place among the nation's top programs and a win here would go a long way. As many of the Buckeyes' opponents can attest, the Horseshoe is an awfully tough place to emerge from with a victory.
