My honest opinion is that Texas, USC, Va. Tech, Penn St. and Ohio State are the best five football teams in the country right now. Of the five only USC has a mediocre or suspect defense. On a given Saturday these five teams would beat any other opponents in the country. Unfortunately Ohio State has had to play 2 of the five already and "blew it" on offense against both.

Georgia dropped for me because Shockley is out and Florida is coming in- that will be a loss. I also dropped Alabama this week because they haven't scored more than 6 points the past two games and was still able to win. Great defense but no offense without Prothro.

Look out for UCLA. Maurice Drew may be the best player in college football.

What do they need to do to prove it? They just beat a top 10 team that was definately deserving of that ranking...... :slappy:

seriously though, I think they're #1.
Exactly, we all know Texas Tech has a great offense, and their QB is never overrated......

USC has been outscoring opponents lately, but their D isn't good. They just gave up 24 to Washington :lol:.

Texas has been handing out beatings like Halloween candy.

Win the NC, until then I still go with the team on the 2 1/2 year winning streak that has proven they can win the big games.

Texas is potentially a great champion...but USC is still the proven champion.

King of the Mountain theory. Its what has made me keep SC at the top as well. Right now, I think Texas is the best team in the nation. But, I can't take USC out of there until they lose.
