So I have this moat full fo crocs waiting for some PCs. It's guarding a temple. What would be a good magical effect to put on the water that would make the crocs more, dangerous?

Celestial or fiendish crocs for one (being a temple and all). How about an illusory ground covering the moat?

Permanent Dispelling Wall. Keeps those pesky PCs from Water Walking or flying over it. Have it set on the near bank (to the PCs).

fast healing on the crocs
water acts like a poison
water burns anyone on surface 1d4 per round. After all you can't have them gators eating adventurers raw.
1 in 10 crocs can fly up to 20 feet from the moat
1 in 10 crocs have sharpness or keen teeth or keen claws
1 in 100 cast fireball (insert battle of new oleans music)
1 in 20 has int of 12+ and can organize the other gators.

I'll go out on a limb here and say sympathy. Keep the crocs in the moat. Nothing ruins tourism or good minions faster than crocodiles who leave the moat any time they get a mite peckish.
Alternatively: Rage or Haste. If you can't have ill-tempered crocodiles in your moat, at least have fast ones.

I'd do a hallow or an unhallow, maybe with a unique effect or two linked.
Baleful Polymorph: tadpole
Dispel Magic
Rusting Grasp on one item per character
Silence
Dimensional Anchor
or maybe have pit be full of weak acid, and it casts a constant resist energy on the crocodiles. (The acid would need to be weak enough that it'd never break through the resistance; if it is cast by an 11th-level caster, for example, the acid should inflict no more than 5d6 points of damage/round to submerged creatures).
Alternatively, use wight crocodiles, and have the water infused with negative energy, inflicting 5 points of negative energy damage/round to the living and 5 points of healing to the undead.
