top 25 college football teams of the decade

[Wildcat1]

Came across this article while searching for the current poll (Carolina is #9 woot!), found it rather interesting.


It compiles all sorts of stats from teams over the decade, factors them in with championships, bowls, etc. And ranks them purely on statistics.

I thought I'd post it here to spark a friendly debate over the true rank some of these teams may deserve.

Oakranger good call I agree with you.

First off anyone NOT in an Automatic Qualifier Conference should be tossed out of these rankings. Secondly it's ridiculous to see Boston College, Oregon State, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Georgia and Utah in the positions they are in.

texas above ohio state?
lol.

Michigan only at 18? Disagree with that.

what have they done to deserve being higher? Tossing non AQ teams is stupid, they play also. Don't tell me Boise shouldn't be included because of some toejam system.

Check the whole decade on michigan before making comments on the past 3 seasons of rich rod.

IMO all Boise State has done is kick the crap out of many sub-par teams and thrown a big "look at us" fit while doing it.
