Let's see your top 10. Here's mine!
10) Penn State - They hung much closer to USC than I would have expected and Joe Pa deserves a spot in the top 10. Because no one else does instead.
9) Alabama - Not a great way to end the year with two beatdown losses, but this team had a really successful year in a down but still tough SEC.
8) TCU - It's tough to put two Mountain West teams into the top 10, but TCU is a great team either way. Their defense is as good as anyone's in my opinion, maybe even including USC.
7) Oregon - Maybe a bit high, but it's a bit of a mess after #6 for me and Oregon just looks to me like a team no one would want to play at this point of the season. They should be ranked very high heading to next season and pose a real threat to USC.
6) Boise State - Forgotten in all of the Utah love fest is the fact that that could well be Boise State. They lost just once and on a tough way to end the year, and they played a good schedule and were a legitimately great team. They also beat that Oregon team ranked just ahead.
5) Oklahoma - A good team, but not a great one. They made a lot of plays all season long on offense, but they lost both of the games they played against better teams, and them's the facts.
4) Texas - They simply know how to win the close games, just like they did against an inferior Ohio State team. Colt McCoy and his receivers make the plays they have to. I'd have loved to see Texas against Utah personally.
3) Utah - I know the resume, and it's an impressive one. This ranking takes nothing away from what they've done, just that Florida and USC look like far superior teams with the eyeball test. Until there's a playoff system, we'll just never know.
2) USC - I was fine with the way the BCS ended up this year because I don't think the Trojans could really make a case, but I'd have loved to see USC play Florida. These teams are becoming mirror images of one another with All Americans deep at every roster position, and USC is the one team I think that may have been favored against every team in a national title game. They cost themselves their shot though, and in a weak conference, that's that.
1) Florida - The right team ended up #1. This team is uber talented at every position and speed kills, plus they have the ultimate Superman in Tim Tebow who simply does not let his team lose. They are the deserving champs.
