College Football- My Top 5

no recap here folks. just simple 5,4,3,2,1. the five best teams in all of college football. right now at least. im not sure how much will suprise you, and in case you havent figured out who was left...
5. Virginia Tech- ill say it again for those who dont believe me. beamer ball wins. head coach frank beamer's emphasis on the special teams play is amazing. and the results are there. this team is loaded with the dreaded P word. potential. however, returning 17 starters will def help them. dual threat qb tyrod taylor is back to lead the offense behind the best line in the acc. they have a tough schedule no doubt. alabama to open the year W. nebraska, miami-w,w. at gtech-w. unc w. at ecu- i say that they dont get upset. VTech has it all. always good special teams unit. very good defense, and a ton of talent back on offense. a good schedule plus another acc championship. with a little help (read a loss to both texas and oklahoma) i could see the hokies playing for it all at the end of the year. matter of fact ill call it. vtech to the national title game.
4. USC- the always almost there trojans. if soph aaron corp or mitch mustain were leading them, id say that they have a better shot. but with true fresh matt barkley i have my doubts. i do however believe that usc will sneak out of the shoe with a win over ohio state, but october looks tough. at cal, at notre dame, oregon state, and at oregon. in theory could lose all four, but in reality probably only one. at oregon. still losing three lbs in the first round hurts, but the talent level at usc is off the charts. ps. if eric berry was at usc not only would he be heisman lock, but nobody would have ever heard of taylor mays. write that down. 11-1. no title game, maybe a bcs bowl.
3. Oklahoma- or should that read chokelahoma? i do feel that they were better than texas last year and shouldve played for the title. but not better than florida. sam "i can score 60pts in my sleep" bradford is back. his top 2 rbs who rushed for over 1000yds are back. his te is all american worthy. his front seven on defense could be the best in the nation. but about the offensive line... somehow i still see them beating texas. maybe its just that i dont like texas and i do like oklahoma. maybe its the fact that i think bradford has more weapons that mccoy. or maybe its that with a healthy front seven the sooners dominated the first half last year. when injuries took over, so did the longhorns. however, the sooners dont go undefeated and get another shot for the title. road games at miami, kansas, texas tech, and a home game against oklahoma state. ill give kansas the win since they play the week after texas/oklahoma
2. Texas- i know i know. tons of people say that they shouldve played florida for the title. well how about this. win all 13 games this year and you can do it. granted colt mccoy completes 77% of..yeah 77% of his passes. and he has his favorite target back- jordan shipley, but they lost a lot up front on defense where the lead the nation in sacks last season. tough games on the schedule= oklahoma and @okla st. L, W. dont forget that between those two monster clashes is a road trip to missouri. i smell an upset. always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
and finally the number one team in the nation...
UTC- ok only joking. but 14,000 for the first game. bj throws for 260yds. AND, AND the mocs win?!? i gotta show love. hope things work out this time.
1. Florida- does this suprise anybody? lets see, where to start. how about the return of demps, rainey, and moody. each average over 7 yds per carry. and carried over 600yds. the return of all world tight end aaron hernandez? senior wideouts riley cooper and david nelson? ok if that isnt enough lets talk about what will win them the title. the defense. face it folks. defense wins championships. thats why the sec has won the last three and over half of the bcs titles. its not offense skill players or qb. those help dont get me wrong. but its the defense. take florida. last year they held the nation's highest scoring offense of ALLTIME to a measley 14 pts. give me a break. oh and btw not only do the gators bring EVERY SINGLE STARTER back on d, but the also have EVERY SINGLE BACKUP. thats right. the top 22 players on the most important side of the ball coming back. here are some names to remeber. de- carlos dunlap. lb- brandon spikes. cb- joe hayden and janoris jenkins. the nations best return man- brandon james. i mean they are incredible. have i got you sold yet? because we havent even mentioned...the greatest college football player of all time. the soon to be 3 time national championship qb, 3 time sec championship qb, 2 time heisman trohpy winner, and pastor in waiting....Tim Tebow.
ok lets look at their schedule. cupcakes as usual until they dismantle tennessee. at kensucky-w. then comes the toughest game of the year. at lsu. the previous week lsu is at georgia and florida is off. we can talk about the bonus of having an off week later. then after beating miss st is the usual butt whooping of georgia. followed by wins over vandy, south carolina, fiu and a rivalry win over fsu. good seccg against ole miss, but still a win for the gators. in the national championship game they could play an all star team of the best players from usc, texas, ohio state, oklahoma and still win. 2009 national champs- florida gators.
