as with everyone i know, i have an opinion on the rankings of college football. the things i get burned up about is the 80s/90s loyalty the experts have for undefeated teams, but then will swing around and say someone else is the best, but not put it into the polls. if you think someone is the best, show it by where you would put your money on betting for them. now, i'm not saying gamble, well maybe.. but put your commitment (and being honest, money is most peoples primary symbol of commitment) on the team you think is best and stick with them. so here is my rankings & i welcome your critique.
- Florida : i just can't bet against them. they beat my tide too
- Southern California : they are good, always have been they just get lost in who they are and slip up, but i'll bet on them anytime in a big game, except against florida
- Texas : they seem to be balanced & play tough, beat OU soundly and only hit a perfect storm of TT to stumble. i like Colt McCoy
- Utah : i wouldn't have bet on them till after sugar both, but i will now. their coaching can win them a big game.
- Alabama : bama it tough and has a power game & defense that i will still back up
- Oklahoma : they proved there isn't much defense in the Big 12, but they are still a threat. if they can get a jump on you, you are done. which could put them past the tide, but i'm betting on the tide.
- after that i am betting on a sec team.. maybe even vanderbilt after this year.
update: ap & coaches polls are now out. ap gives props to utah, coaches poll surprisingly, is almost identical to mine.
