Everyone has their own top 10. Defend yours if you want, but everyone has their own tastes and preferences. (These "Y U NO INCLUDE ___?" posts are sad) And even if you want to justify a team being in your top 10 WITH recent placings, just remember that judging isn't a completely objective process and prone to disagreement.
Hell, a common misconception these days is the one where people think a team placing over another team makes them better. If you want to even make such an assessment, base it on the actual performance and not by the judging. Judging serves one purpose - allocate prize money to competing teams according to competition rubric and personal tastes.
With my own preferences and personal views on bhangra (and excluding my own 2),
1. NJW: The cleaner version of NJ. Not as creative as the seniors, but these dancers dance as a team and even with mistakes, their execution as a unit is crisp. Plus, it helps that they're all the same height and look the same.
2. NJ: Was beginning to doubt after Elite 8, but NJ pulled through at Idols. Their formations and creativity have always set them apart. Their execution is getting sloppier with too many individual swag moments and inconsistency in styles between the NJ seniors and NJW fill-ins.
3. SGPD: Very close to NJ, but SGPD gets sloppy on execution and as a former hip-hop dancer, their creativity got stale for me fast. None the less, still one of the best in terms of consistency.
4. PCBCA: Even with derivative sets in the past with a lot of copied ideas from other teams, the execution at Elite 8 2011 pushed them up in my books. If you haven't danced on a competitive decently successful all-guy team, then it'll be harder for you to understand how difficult it is to get dancers with talent to hold themselves back for the sake of cleanliness. It's extremely difficult for anyone to not dance the best they can and not draw attention to themselves for the sake of cleanliness and PCBCA is one of the few all-guy teams out there that pulled it off.
5. NYPD: I would still give Elite 8 to JJ, but NYPD has lived in the shadow of SGPD/NJ for too long. Even without a 1st place trophy in over 2 years, they've been consistent with placings and brought fresh ideas and a new swag to the circuit, even when half the circuit is still on the TDot high.
6. JJ: They may not compete as often, but their performances attest to their placement in my top 10. Their creativity is subtle and formation-centric and their roster has some of the best that the US East has to offer.
7. ABC: ABC has come a long way in the last few years. I wasn't the biggest fan of their old style, but they've done some big things in the circuit. With top mixes, amazing vardiyan and consistent placings, there's no reason for them not to be in my top 10.
8. BCC: Consistent sets with great choreography and distinct style. I wish I could say more, but they've done nothing but exceed expectations every single time.
9. SMD: Before Elite 8, I would have given this to TAG, but TAG still needs a break out performance in my opinion. To me, they're an extension of SGPD and with some shared gimmicks and the rainbow vardiyan, it's hard to really get a feel for them as their own team. I don't think anyone thought SMD would be back after Bruin and BAB, but they brought a strong 16 woman roster with a performance that I think is one of the best all-girl performances of all time.
10. UNC: It's always difficult to think a team is amazing, but then disagree with winning a competition. Teams set themselves apart these days with execution and UNC, as the new kid on the block, is showing the rest of the circuit how it's done. I think they would have ranked much higher in my books if they changed up their set more since Burgh.
