Top 10 College Football Programs in the Last DECADE

[crawfish]

Colin Cowherd, a very popular ESPN radio talk show host, ruffled some feather Tuesday with his ratings of the top college football programs of the last decade. You can checkout the rankings on espnradio.com. Click on Top 10 College FB download on the left side of the page and listen. (http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/show?showId=theherd) Below are the top 10 in reverse order.

10. Florida St.
9. Auburn
8. Oklahoma
7. Michigan
6. Texas
5. Miami
4. Florida
3. USC
2. Ohio State
1. LSU

[The Ramp]

Sweet! Very Sweet!

SEC Decade of Dominance: 1997-2006

1. Georgia - 96 wins. The Bulldogs have been remarkably consistent at a high level the last decade, having won eight games or more each of the last ten years. Georgia won SEC Championships under Mark Richt in both 2002 and 2005.

2. Florida (tie) - 94 wins. The defending national champions have two SEC championships in the last ten years, 2000 and 2006. Steve Spurrier won ten games four of his last five seasons in Gainesville. Urban Meyer has won 22 games and a title in two years.

2. Tennessee (tie) - 94 wins. Phillip Fulmer has had five double-digit win seasons since 1997, a run which includes a national championship in 1998. The 'Vols slipped to 5-6 in 2005, but rebounded to win nine games a year ago.

4. LSU - 86 wins. Under Nick Saban and Les Miles, the Tigers have won 44 games the last four seasons. Saban won a conference championship in 2001 and a national championship in 2003. LSU last had a losing season in 1999.

5. Auburn - 84 wins. Chalk it up to the system, but in 2004 the Tigers went 13-0 en route to a conference championship but never got a chance to play for it all. Tommy Tuberville and company have won 33 games since 2004.

6. Arkansas - 71 wins. Houston Nutt has gone 67-44 in nine seasons with the Razorbacks. His tenure includes runs to the SEC Championship Game in both 2002 and 2006.

7. Alabama - 66 wins. The Crimson Tide have been up and down the last ten years, rising to ten wins three times but falling to losing records three times as well. Alabama won the SEC Championship in 1999.

8. Ole Miss - 65 wins. With David Cutcliffe calling the shots and Eli Manning under center, the Rebels surged to ten wins in 2003. Cutcliffe suffered just one losing season in Oxford, his last.

9. South Carolina - 54 wins. Carolina struggled at the end of the century, winning one game in two years under Brad Scott and Lou Holtz. The Gamecocks have averaged almost seven wins a year since that point.

10. Mississippi State - 50 wins. Jackie Sherrill won 33 games from 1997-2000, earning a western division championship in 1998. Since 2000, the Bulldogs have not won more than three games.

11. Kentucky - 46 wins. The Wildcats have three bowl appearances the last decade, including a Music City Bowl victory over Clemson this past year. Kentucky won nine games in 2006, the most since 1984.

12. Vanderbilt - 30 wins. Though the Commodores have come close twice, they have not had a winning season over the past ten years. Vanderbilt jumped off to a great start with Jay Cutler at quarterback in 2005, only to finish 5-6.



**Florida goes ahead of Tennessee in the order simply because they have a more recent SEC and national championship.

[The Ramp]

i'm listening to him now and he just said USC is the best team in the last 5 years. Colin really doesn't follow college football that well. He's a NFL guy and mostly entertaining on a myriad of general sports headlines and non-sports topics.

[The Ramp]

no georgia...thats crap..

colin just said he'd include UGA if they beat flor every once in a while

*don't kill messenger*

[Orange Blood]

colin just said he'd include UGA if they beat flor every once in a while

*don't kill messenger*

yeah that's a good point... michigan is in there though and they've lost 6 times to osu in the last 10 years, though georgia has lost to florida 8 times in the last 10 years... kinda a lot...

[GatorNation]

i'm listening to him now and he just said USC is the best team in the last 5 years.

I hate them, but I can buy that.

But then OU has to be #2, right? I mean, playing for three titles ('00, '03, '04) and winning one in 2000 with a slew of Big XII championships...that's better than both Florida and Less-U in the last 10 years....even if you count SOS's title in '96.

:ph34r:

i would definately put USC #1, OU #2, and Tex #3. OSU, LSU, UGA, Aub, and Flor would follow in any particular order

[AUFootball24]

i'm listening to him now and he just said USC is the best team in the last 5 years. Colin really doesn't follow college football that well.

...USC is the best program over the last 5 years.

Do you disagree?

[Orange Blood]

i would take auburn of that list too... though they have had a couple of good season their record over the last 10 years isn't top 10 worthy in my opinion
11-2
9-3
13-0
8-5
9-4
7-5
9-4
5-6
3-8
10-3

=84-40 (67.7%) 1 SEC Champ.

[The Ramp]

...USC is the best program over the last 5 years.

Do you disagree?

I'm saying USC should be #1 and not LSU for the last 10 years. LSU should be around #5

[KillerNut]

Colin Cowturd sucks!!! But his list is pretty good.

What sets the Ohio State University apart from the other programs.....

Consistency. Schools like Notre Dame might have a richer history, and schools like Florida might be more successful today, but no school in the country can compete with the consistent success the Buckeyes have had. They’ve won multiple conference championships in every decade since the turn of the 20th century, and they’ve been in a national championship race almost as regularly. The Buckeyes have consistently been in the national eye over the past century, and that coupled with the team’s success under Tressel, makes Ohio State football the best program in the country.

Good defense. You can say the same about half a dozen SEC teams though...

[Bulldog Bry]

I listened to his show, so I heard his criteria. My only beef with the Dawgs not being on there is that he has FSU at #10. He did say that momentum was in the Dawgs favor, just too many 4 loss seasons. FSU has been crap since Richt left.

I can buy every other team being on there.

It's actually two titles from '96. That would be 10 years....

Makes a lot of sense, but what about the fact that Meeechigan leads the NCAA in victories....? Doesn't that make Meeechigan > tOSU?

That list is crap. The teams are good, but the order is terrible. I won't even start complaining about UGA not being included.

:excl: Dude... here's an example for you...

Record of Florida (vs Georgia), 1997-2006

1997-2006 Games = 10 FL 8-2 UGA

10/28/2006 vs. Georgia (9-4) W 21-14 (Year 10)
10/29/2005 vs. Georgia (10-3) W 14-10 (Year 9)
10/30/2004 vs. Georgia (10-2) L 24-31 (Year 8)
11/1/2003 vs. Georgia (11-3) W 16-13 (Year 7)
11/2/2002 vs. Georgia (13-1) W 20-13 (Year 6)
10/27/2001 vs. Georgia (8-4) W 24-10 (Year 5)
10/28/2000 vs. Georgia (8-4) W 34-23 (Year 4)
10/30/1999 vs. Georgia (8-4) W 30-14 (Year 3)
10/31/1998 vs. Georgia (9-3) W 38-7 (Year 2)
11/1/1997 vs. Georgia (10-2) L 17-37 (Year 1)

now... if you added this game in...

11/2/1996 vs. Georgia (5-6) W 47-7

The record for the series between '96-'06 would be FL 9 UGA 2 thus equaling 11 total games played over the span of 11 years :brick:

Of the 10, only UGA ranked in every single solitary Final AP Poll the whole entire last Decade, while the PAC-10 Champion has not once played The SEC Champion, not in the whole entire period there has been a PAC-10, which dates back to 1978.

By the way :

# 17 LSU
# 18 Auburn

in excess of 10 games behind UGA

[Grady]

...take away losses to unranked Kentucky and unranked intramural vandie last season, in which our only QB to play in 5 games last season came in and did nothing positive and everything negative, UGA would have been at the top of the heap # 1.

3. USC
2. Ohio State
1. LSU

This list is pretty accurate over the last 10 years...although, with USC's 5 year run, it's hard not to put them at #1, even though I do believe they play in an inferior conference. I think Auburn is the only team on this list that hasn't won a NC in that span...even though, I believe had they been given the opportunity in '04, USC would be the only team on the list without a BCS title. Which is probably why UGA isn't on the list...no NCs.

[BAMA NATE]

Sweet! Very Sweet!

You actually think that is legit?!? :laugh:

No. Uga does not deserve to be in that top 10.

No. Uga does not deserve to be in that top 10.

Exactly why not?

Sure...their slipping as we speak but they have won not far from 100 games during that period.

Actually, #3 should be 98-99, not 99-00, which would "move" the list down, eliminating #1 to look like this:

no georgia...thats crap..

what do they have to show for it, a couple of SEC Championships, no major Bowl wins, getting embarrassed by WVU in a BCS bowl, they are a good program, but not a top 10 in the past decade. FSU doesn't need to be in there, they have tailed off since hte turn of the millennium.

ok, but as far as National Titles, SEC Championship games, BCS bowls, they have a few SEC chamionships, and thats about it. Victories aside, they don't deserve top 10, just my opinion.

I must be confused...I thought winning was one of the major definitions of success in college football????

[GatorHunter]

I must be confused...I thought winning was one of the major definitions of success in college football????

I think UGA should probably be on the list...but as I said, Auburn is the only team on the list that hasn't won a NC in the past 10 years.....but, they were screwed out of the chance...the Dogs haven't "sniffed" a NC in over 25 years.

They win games in the SEC, yes, but when it comes to the games where it is REALLY on the line. Take for instance the Sugar?? Bowl was it? A couple years back against WVU, they were picked to dismantle them, and they got embarrassed. What is their Bowl record in the last decade? wanna know something that all of those teams have in common in the top 10? They all have a National Championship trophy sitting in their trophy case with the exception of Auburn who never got the chance to play for it but did get go 13-0. UGA has none.

I think UGA should probably be on the list...but as I said, Auburn is the only team on the list that hasn't won a NC in the past 10 years.....but, they were screwed out of the chance...the Dogs haven't "sniffed" a NC in over 25 years.

I guess this is what I was trying to say, they haven't even come close to an NC.

We were the best team in the country at the end of the season in 2002. We just couldn't get the Gator monkey off our back.

Oops...I forgot the point of that post. The point is that we have "sniffed" a national championship. I agree that we have a sliver of the choke artist syndrome, but consistently winning over a decade in the toughest conference is a bigger accomplishment to me than having a really talented team for 1-2 seasons and playing for a title.

No doubt the Dogs would've given OSU or scUM all they wanted in 2002...and I would've gladly taken the loss to give UGA the opportunity, seriously.

It's a double-edged sword, gh...you want to win consistently, no doubt...but what's the point if you don't ever win championships? UGA is an elite program and has won a couple of SEC Champ. recently.....I'm not taking anything away from 'em. But as I posted earlier....nearly every team on the list has won a NC in the past 10 years.

Being the best is defined as beating EVERYONE you face, IMO. If UF beat you, then they were better than you.

Re-read the post. We were the best team at the end of the season.
