I would. Nebraska is the answer.

How could I forget Nebraska? Yeah, they were pretty good I suppose.
Could make a decent argument for Oklahoma or LSU, as well. I'd probably pick USC, the once and future 2004 national champion.

I would say USC then you could argue Ohio State/Texas/Florida anywhere for the next 3 spots.
Easily USC. Probably between OSU and OU for 2nd and Texas is 4th.
edit: Actually no, OSU and OU both had 5 and 4 loss season last decade, while Texas' worst record was in 2000 at 9-3. Texas is number 2
I'd lean towards LSU.
Ohio State had the peak season with the controverisal BCS over Miami, and was solid throughout, but like OU, became a sort of "joke" team, with all it's BCS losses (mostly to SEC teams)
USC looked like a sure lock for team of the 00's in the midst of Leinhart and Bush. That was thoroughly destroyed by Paul Dee's.
Texas had the best BCS Championship win, and was solid, but was kind of invisible, and had trouble getting past OU.
LSU got rolling with Saban early, won a championship, and Miles carried on with that success and won another championship (somehow, with one of his weakest teams).
Florida could get recognition, but it was in a 4 year period. Started off average and didn't pick up steam till 2006 and Tebow.
Hoping Alabama carries on for another 4-5 years like it is, though it's like Miami back in 99/00, straddling the decades.

haha that would of been hilarious
Basically this. You could make an argument to stick one of the SECSECSEC teams in there somewhere. Florida or maybe LSU, I guess.
The problem with Florida is the Zook years.

We are still tied for the most BCS wins, and thats with one even vacated. So we really have the most, but technically not.
This is true, so I would say you could argue Texas/OSU for 2nd.
The downside for LSU though, was that they had too many years where they were only above average.
lolsu
I thought you Bama fans were above the SECSECSEC stuff?
Shit, they were only above average the year they won the MNC with Miles. 2007 was an insane year.
I blame Dennis Dixon's ACL.
I'm so ready for Clemson. I think that defense is mighty suspect and I think they're very thin on the offensive line. Our defense should have a field day pressuring Boyd, which should help to negate Watkins.
Nope, FSU was more consistent over that span. Top 4 every year.

Depends on the actual timeframe of the decade. Is it 2000-2009 or 2001-2010?
Using the Coaches (but AP is similar), LSU finished unranked twice, twice outside the top 10, and 6 times in the top 10 (2001-2010).
I'll check out the other Contenders of the annual GAF TEAM OF THE DECADE THAT I AGREE WITH AND YOU CAN SUCKIT.

Team of the 80s, surely? Or would that be Miami?
You know what, fuck it.
Team of the 80s: Notre Dame
Team of the 90s: Notre Dame
Team of the 00s: Notre Dame
Team of the 10s: Bama. Nah, just kidding, Notre Dame
For last decade I'm looking at 2000-2009. This decade would count as 2011-2020.
Like they say, it's an ongoing investigation.
Convention suggests the former, logic the latter.
Poor 2010. No one wants you.

This guy knows what's up.
Always remembered that the turn of the century didn't come till New Years day 2001, not 2000. But who cares.
80's was Miami, 90's is Nebraska. 70's is Alabama, 60's is....I've heard Nebraska, but shit mayne, 1960's mayne.
Consistent at what, being 2nd? Losing to Florida? That's not a bad thing, that happened to Alabama most of the 90's too.
Looking at Texas 2001-2010: 6 top 10 finishes, 3 more top 25 finishes, 1 unranked finish.
OSU's wiki page sucks and doesn't have finishes, but am I correcting in seeing 7 BCS game appearances, with a 4-3 record? OSU loves them some Tostitos, but 3 losses isn't exactly Team of The Decade worthy.

In the 90s FSU's record against Florida was 7-4-1.
We were 7-4-1 against Florida including post-season play.

There was no Year Zero (that's what I was trying to remember). 1-10, 11-20, 2001-2010.
Besides Florida? Miami would probably be the main one. Not sure who else they played regularly that was good.
Yeah, but for naming decades, that just gets weird. Is 1990 somehow not part of the nineties? But somehow 2000 is?
The Canes. Wide right, wide right, wide left, etc.... I think UM had more success against the Noles than my Gators did. PEACE.
There was no year 2010 either. It didn't exist. I don't know what happened to the year 2010. Which is why I'm saying there was no college football played that year. Hell I don't even think there was a conclusion to the 2009 football season, since the MNC occurs in the next calender year.

Jan 2010- December 2010 was a black hole in time

I would be okay with never recruiting another kid from Lake Travis ever again. I don't care how many consecutive state titles they have won, their success must be stemmed from great coaching, not great players.
Meaning:
- Florida has a better overall head to head record against FSU, 33-21-2
- Florida has more MNC than FSU, 3-2
- FSU has "State" in its name a defining moniker for "little brother" teams (A&M and Tech are also acceptable here)

They were, but like boosh said that ranking was partly a product of being in the ACC. Florida in the 90s was a pretty solid team every year. We beat teams early on in the 90s that we shouldn't have, then cranked out 10 win seasons in the SEC every year.
Still though, I would put FSU up there for the latter half of the 90s. I don't think any team has dominated a decade since the 60s.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
So, on my home from an Irish wake. I decide to drop by and pick up Borderlands 2. Holy shit this is a motley, somewhat depressing collection of individuals.
Some nerd is parading around their ass ugly Asian gitlfriemd around like they are proud of her. But she and I share that look where we both know she landed the weeaboo lottery.
Jalf the people here look like Steve Bartman.
I thinl some people dressed up for this.
But I'm here reeking of whiskey, parliament lights and stupidly wearing a jiu jitsu t shirt looking like some wayward bto with faulty inner gps.

Just read about the new Orange Bowl deal. Another SEC tie in, total shocker there. So not only are they basically a lock for two spots in the "playoff" every year, but have a tie in with the Big 12 in the "Champions Bowl", and a traditional tie in with the Sugar Bowl. But hey I guess the #6 SEC team will fall hard down to that Capital One Bowl slot right?
Gotta love the dictatorship of college football.

Alabama was dominant in the 70's (something like 103-16 for 70-79, 107-13 if its 71-80) and 3-ish championships. Miami won alot of championships in the 80's. But I'm not sure of their record before Schnell.
OP updated with the new Heisman Watch rankings.

Did you just try to drink an Irishman under the table? You may have succeeded!
I thought bluemax was going to eventually copy and paste your work into the OP but he hasn't yet. :/

Bluemax's OP is far superior to Karakand's GP (Gloat Post).
