USC?

101-27 this decade. OU won more and lost less. Texas lost less. Boise had the best winning percentage.

I'd go with OU as the best of the decade. Then probably USC, then Texas. Idk.

sorry gotta go with Urban Myers as coach of the decade, look at what he did at Utah and what he turned Florida into.

And for best games even though I am a huge Texas fan the two games have to be thrown into the nix Boise State/OU Fiesta Bowl, and people always seem to forget the double OT thriller of a national championship game with tOSU beating the Miami Hurricanes

and even though he had injury problems, I would have started Adrian Peterson at running back.

Thats all of my insight for now

Great post...pretty solid throughout. Bush stays at RB for me, I remember being in awe almost every time that dude touched the ball. Tebow is my QB though. Calvin Johnson also cracks my list over Crabtree. My TE is Winslow. And one of my Safeties is probably Shaun Taylor...I think thats how his first name is spelled anyway. But overall, a good list...each one on it has a legitimate case.

And the 2002 national championship...Ill never forget that game. I felt like Miami won it, and then the ref threw that stupid pass interference flag way way way late.

Are the Temple Owls worse than U of North Texas?

[bandera7]

Absolutely...Temple is awful.

[DDBooger]

I think North Texas was actually pretty good early in the decade.

This is correct. UNT has more conference championships than the uoft this decade.

[carter08]

I remember watching that Miami/ Ohio State national final game. Great game, I still remember cringing though when McGahee went down.

Wow... and you probably think that ranks UNT football superior to UT football too huh?
