The top 8

The latest Stiles Points Top 16+1 has changed to the Stiles Points Top 8 (games through 11/9/08)...I have seen enough football this season and are ranking the teams to who I feel are the best despite their record...these are the 8 teams that I would have in a playoff if the season ended right now...

1. Florida (8-1) - this team is buzzing everyone since their loss at home to Ole Miss...this is the team to beat...
2. Texas (9-1) - yes, I know they lost to T2 on the last play...but when the season is over, Texas will be the better team and have the better record...
3. Oklahoma (9-1) - like Florida, the Sooners are one pissed off bunch since losing to Texas...
4. Southern Cal (8-1) - the best defense in the country...I don't care what happened at Oregon State...
5. Texas Tech (10-0) - the Red Raiders are a solid football team, but both key wins came at home with the support of the home crow...this team has to win in Norman, Oklahoma before they get my vote...
6. Alabama (10-0) - great defense, solid running game...a win against Florida in the SEC title game catapults them to the top...
7. Penn State (9-1) - that was an ugly loss to Iowa....Iowa!?!?!?!!?...
8. Utah (10-0) - this is where the drop off begins...the Utes do not impress me...

Games of the Week
Stiles Points will be previewing the following two games this week:
USC @ Stanford - the Trojans have been waiting for redemption after last year's disasterour loss...
NFL Special - NFC East - Dallas @ Washington - Sunday Night...it doesn't get any better than this...
