With the annual “I hate the BCS” talk around college football I figured it was time for me to rank my own top 8. Why 8? Well because that is the number of teams that need to be playing in a playoff system. The following list is based solely on who I think is the best teams, regardless of record. Just plain ole who is the best football team in MY opinion….
1. USC- I know this is controversial, but to me, this is the best team in the country. Line up any team against this team when it counts and they will win. They did have their annual hiccup to a lesser team but that's out of the way now.
2. Florida- I dislike Tim Tebow and their pompous coach Urban Meyer but this team is good. Yes they have only 4 plays that work but they do those 4 plays really well. Option 1, Tim Tebow up the middle (AKA Fat Boy up the middle). Option 2, lineup WR Percy Harvin in the backfield and hand him the ball. Option 3, Lineup Harvin at WR and run a reverse. Option 4, Pass the ball to Harvin. You would think the defenses could cover 4 plays but they can’t.
3. Alabama- I cringe to put them this high because I don’t believe they are this good yet. But Saban can coach and though I dislike him personally, I have a lot of respect for his coaching ability. His team is playing a year ahead of schedule and to me this is the second best team in the SEC.
4. Texas Tech- This team is offensively almost unstoppable. If they didn’t play in the weak, no defense playing Big 12, I might have more respect for them as a true national title contender. I don't believe they can beat a physical team though.
5. Texas- Texas would be a lot higher if the LB for Texas didn’t drop that sure INT to put Texas Tech away with 1:30 left in the game. I’ve never seen an easier ball dropped in a big situation like that.
6. Penn State- Yes this team is undefeated but they play in a joke for a conference in the (little) Big Ten. It’s not their fault they play nobody but I believe every team ahead of them on this list would give them a beat down. Yeah they beat Ohio State when they were number 9 but no one can tell me Ohio State is top 10 good.
7. Oklahoma- I haven’t seen them play yet this year so they make the list by default.
8. Oklahoma State- I also haven’t seen them play either, but their coach is 40 and is a man so I give them a nod for that.
Others that may cry about not getting into my BS poll: Utah & Boise St. I don’t believe either of these schools could hang with the 8 schools listed ahead of them.

I want a playoff so bad it hurts. I don't watch any college football because of it, and it's not as good as the NFL anyway so....
And on that note anyone who says that the kids in college are playing for free and for the love of the game are full of it. Any kid in the NCAA playing for a big program is in it to make the pros. END OF DISCUSSION.
Your list is probably accurate but I loath USC, LSU, Ohio St. and Florida. Also, the band wagoneers in Memphis who are Alabama fans all of a sudden make me want to puke my guts out.
I have a slightly different top eight, but this was an interesting post.
Here is my top 8 BEST TEAMS:
1. Alabama (undefeated in the best conference in USA)
2. USC (NO ONE wants to play them right now, NO ONE)
3. Florida (Top to bottom they are a beast and they are finally firing on all cylinders)
4. Texas Tech (Best Offense, period.)
5. Texas
6. Penn State (Undefeated, but almost untested)
7. Oklahoma (A different outcome in Texas and they would be #1)
8. Oklahoma State (If anyone in this conference played D then I would be more impressed)
