Rank of college football teams...

Here's a poll of the top ten college football teams fans love to hate. This is not my poll so don't take it out on me. Heck, my team made the list too!

1. Ohio State
Many college football fans are hoping they don't have to watch the Buckeyes lose in the BCS championship game again. Most of those same fans only wish their teams had gotten there the last two seasons.

2. USC
No team has been as dominant during the last decade as the Trojans. A lot of fans wonder why the NCAA hasn't taken a closer look at how USC has done it.

3. Notre Dame
The Fighting Irish used to own the top spot on this list. Notre Dame used to win a lot more games, too.

4. Florida
The Gators don't get opposing fans' blood boiling as much as they used to -- like when former coach Steve Spurrier was taking jabs at many of his team's opponents. But many fans just can't believe quarterback Tim Tebow is really that good.

5. Oklahoma
The Sooners might be Ohio State Lite. Bob Stoops keeps getting his teams to BCS bowl games, but somehow keeps losing them.

6. Michigan
Add another fan base -- West Virginia -- to the growing allegiance of Wolverine haters.

7. Texas
Fans who hate the Longhorns are more envious than anything else. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the recruiting base, coaching salaries and tradition.

8. Alabama
Many college football fans are tired of hearing about Paul "Bear" Bryant. The Crimson Tide will never stop talking about him.

9. Miami
Coach Randy Shannon has gone a long way in cleaning up the Hurricanes' off-field image. Unfortunately, there was two decades' worth of garbage to clean up.

10. Tennessee
Unless you're a Volunteer fan, "Rocky Top" might sound like Sheryl Crow covering Guns N' Roses.

As a huge Buckeye fan, this is pretty funny.

I can certainly see how people would dislike the Buckeyes. They haven't looked too good in the last two championship games. They should have beaten Florida, but didn't even compete. They really didn't even belong in the game last year, but everybody else just lost it at the end of the season and OSU made it in by default.

I think the haters out there may be even more unhappy this year. The Buckeyes return almost every starter from last year's team. Beanie Wells is finally healthy, and is the early favorite for the Heisman Trophy. Even if they lose to USC, which is possible, it will happen so early that they will have plenty of time to climb back to the top of the rankings by the end of the season.

I would post a pic of my newest tattoo, a Buckeyes "Block O" logo, but it looks pretty rough in this stage of healing. I only got it last thursday. But here is the pic I used for the stencil.

What happened to the pic I posted? Oh well, I will try again.
