DESCRIPTION:In many models of physics beyond the Standard model the coupli
 ng of new physics to third generation quarks is enhanced or signatures are
  expected that mimic top production. I will present a review of mostly non
 -MSSM-inspired searches for new physics beyond the standard model in final
  states containing top quarks or bottom quarks performed by the CMS experi
 ment. Many of these techniques used have solid roots in precision measurem
 ents of the standard model\, and applying these techniques from measuremen
 ts to searches has opened a rich and varied searches program in the CMS ex
 periment. Examples include searches for heavy gauge bosons\, excited quark
 s\, sequential and vector-like top quark partners.  The analyses span a ra
 nge of final states\, from multi-leptonic to entirely hadronic\, and many 
  use convoluted analysis techniques to reconstruct the highly boosted fina
 l states that are created in these topologies. \n\nI will focus on the mos
 t recent results\, using data collected with the CMS experiment in proton-
 proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV.\n
