An Early College Football Top 10: A Biased, Ignorant, SEC Fan's Opinion

Colt McCoy was amazing in every game I watched, completing 76.7 percent of his passes for 34 TDs and 3,859 yards.

As if that weren't enough, he led the team in rushing with 561 yards. They return Vondrell McGee, their second leading rusher, as well.

 

1. Florida

Post-Ole Miss and the over-played "speech," the Gators blew through the SEC like no team ever has in the history of the conference. They finished the season by beating two No. 1 teams, consecutively, at neutral sites, by a combined total of 55-34.

Tebow, in the midst of all the criticism from his teary-eyed apology, accomplished all he had promised.

Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey both rushed for 7.8 yards per carry, though they argue with each other about who's faster (for the record: Rainey has been clocked jogging a 4.24 40-yard dash, while Demps was officially the "fastest teen-ager in America").  Let's call it a tie, boys.

Emmanuel Moody averaged 7.2 yards per carry, and he should contribute during his junior year by being more of a bruiser back.

The Gators lose their top two receivers, but I think they will do just fine with Riley Cooper, Deonte Thompson, Aaron Hernandez, Brandon James, Carl Moore, and the No. 2 recruit at the position, Andre Dubose (who is said to be quite Percy-like). That's the last thing SEC defenses want to hear.
