Texas has been better overall but only because of the last few years.

I'd disagree. Of course, OU has to cheat.

Texas has a better overall win% & better conf win%, how else should we compare? There are obviously many ways to do so, but once we start getting to HU to HU games, BCS appearances(which often depend on other teams losing), bowl game wins, etc, etc, it becomes nearly impossible. Trying to keep it simple. This is a really, really close top 10, not 1 team is way ahead of another.

FSU is easily the best team winning wise in the past decade despite their shaky years. They also have a NC & a NC loss which is better than everyone but USC. They could easily be #1 but I think we have to bring them down some because of how weak the ACC was and that when they actually got in a tougher conference they have struggled.

10) (Tie) Nebraska

OU dominated Texas when both teams were relevant on the natl' scene so I have to rank them ahead of Texas. Also, TX has one natl champ appearance (which they won). OU has won 1 plus played for two others (in years that they destroyed TX).

OU has won more big 12 championships than texas, been in more BCS games than texas, and yes, by this very logic, FSU is the team of the decade, a fact i won't dispute.

might as well give my rankings
1. FSU
2. OSU
3. USC
4. OK
5. Michigan
6. Texas
7. Florida
8. Miami
9. Nebraska
10. Tennesse (really up for grabs at 10, but i just figure the vols should get the nod here)

Gregatron · #36 07-25-2007, 12:51 PM

Yeah, I have to agree that over the past 10 years OU > than Texas. I think it's easier to weigh the past few years more heavily, but over the majority of this time OU was clearly better.

EDIT: I'm a little confused about the support for Miami. I think there is a case for actually leaving them out. You should not weigh five years of dominance more than five years of mediocrity.

Your Mom · #37 07-25-2007, 12:54 PM

Surprisingly enough, they are 5-5 L10, but TX won in 97-99 when both were pretty much irrelevant. This fact makes me want to rethink having them this high on our top 10 list. I think you have to rank teams like Michigan higher than both.

1. Florida
2. USC
3. FSU
4. Miami
5. OU
6. OSU
7. Texas
8. Michigan
9. Tennessee
10. Nebraska

Good list, I think Miami is far too low though despite their issues lately. One of only a few with a NC win & a NC loss plus a winning record over your #2 team & dominance until the last 3 years over them.

Your Mom · #40 07-25-2007, 01:06 PM

agreed, I think we forget that Miami was USC before USC was USC. They were really f'n good. Their 00-02 teams were sick despite winning only one championship. Just think if they had Butch all those years. They were a machine. Of course, you could say the same thing about Nebraska if Osborne hadn't left.
