Let's Face It: No College Football Team Is Very Good This Year

With all the controversy over polls, like Team A should be ahead of Team B, but not Team C because they haven't played anyone, but Team D looked good but not better than Team E and all that going on, I just have to say it: no one is that good this year.

Now, I don't care if you're a team from Gainesville with the most over-hyped quarterback in the country, or if you're a certain team from Austin who hasn't played a (currently) ranked team all year, or if you're a Blue Turf playing mid major that barely scraped by Louisiana Tech and Fresno State: you don't deserve to be number one. No one does.

Let's break down the BCS Top 10, and expose the obvious flaws with everyone's records, and the teams themselves.

 

1. Florida (9-0) —Where do I start? Here we go: you're only good win was over an overrated LSU team. Now, I know it was in Baton Rouge and at night, but LSU will suck until they get a real quarterback, and rid of Les (with more) Miles. Also, you would have dropped the Arkansas game had it not been for the worst officiating to ever grace the earth. To go on, you have the easiest schedule besides maybe Texas, with a whopping four road games. But don't discredit the Gator Schedule just yet. After all, they still have to play Mighty FIU (at home no less) before going to Atlanta. One more thing: Tim Tebow is severely overrated. I can think of at least 20 other quarterbacks I'd rather have on my team than him.

2. Alabama (9-0) —I love my Tide, but they're not a great team. First of all, the offense is almost non-existent. If I see one more dropped ball I am going to explode. The wins aren't overly impressive either, as the Tide struggled to beat a bad Tennessee team, an average South Carolina team, and had to come from behind to beat Virginia Tech and LSU (both of which are overrated). Good thing the Defense is an overly dominant force and can bail out that inept-at-times offense, or the Tide would likely have three or more losses.

3. Texas (9-0) —Texas was easily the most complete team I saw yesterday. But then again, they played none other than UCF. Their schedule is a joke; no one on it is currently ranked. Four of their current nine wins also came against mid majors—all of which suck. Their only quality win was against Oklahoma (without Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham, and everyone else) by three points. However, their offense is decent, even though they haven't played a real defense (Oklahoma is as close as they got). The Longhorn defense is actually pretty good but the day the Longhorns play a good team, they will get curb-stomped. Don't mess with Texas alright.

4. TCU (9-0) —I'm going to find it hard to find much wrong with TCU. They've looked great in every game they've played minus their match against Air Force, but the weather was a clear factor in that one. The only real thing I can say is, can they do this every week in a BCS conference? Good for you TCU; you look like the only team that looks dominant every week.

5. Cincinnati (9-0) —Gotta give Cincinnati props, even though they haven't beaten anyone currently ranked and did struggle against an average UCONN team at home in their last game. However, Cincinnati has won all of their games. The only problem now is scheduling, and they are in the Big East which isn't exactly a power conference. I don't think Cincinnati would have that 9-0 mark if they played somewhere else, to be honest.

6. Boise State (9-0)
