If you give each team points for their placement in all of the 4 categories. Add the totals together and the lowest score is the winner. Break ties by number of National championships and this is how it comes out!

1. LSU
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. USC
5. OU
6. OSU

The correct answer is:

1. UF
2 crystals, possible 3rd, plays in the toughest BCS conference.

2. LSU
2 crystals, undefeated in BCS bowls, plays in the toughest BCS conference.

3. USC
1 crystal, 1 ap, good BCS bowl record, plays in a weak conference.

4. Texas
1 crystal, possible 2nd, plays in a decent BCS conference.

5. Oklahoma
1 crystal, 4 NCG appearances, plays in a decent BCS conference.

6. Ohio St
1 crystal, 3 NCG appearances, .500 BCS bowl team, mid-to-weak BCS conference.



If Texas wins a crystal this year, they jump USC, but that's it. Cake-walk conference schedules that pad win percentages can't compete when comparing to teams performing well in a conference two tiers above the next.

since the decade isnt over its premature.

However one can dedcue that IF,, Texas plays Florida for the national chmapionship. The winner of that game is the team of the decade. Aslo if Texas beats Bama the Longhorns woild be team of the decade.

but if Texas fails to make the BCS title game theyre not in the discussion. By default it would be Florida, with LSU a close second.

Just like an actualt game its not over til its over and this decade aint over.

well the Big 12 plays no defense
the pac 10 only has 4 good teams
and if wisconsin were to play in the sec (just going by your logo beside your name) they would prolly finish .500 or lower

I don't see how anyone could put Texas at the top with their lack of conference titles.

The good and bad thing about this kind of debate is that everyone's criteria is different.

That said, If Texas wins the MNC then it's Texas. If Florida wins then it's Florida. If Bama or another win it's USC.

IMHO, 3 NCs trumps the consistency demonstrated by Texas and USC, and USC to a greater extent. I hate more than anything but 02-08 they have been lights out and finished in the top 5 and went almost 2 years without losing -- PAC 10 or not I think you're fooling yourself if you don't consider them a legit top 5 team in any of those 7 years.

Texas has also been extremely consistent, and that is what hurts LSU and that's why I'd put them at 4.

4. LSU. LSU had, I would say 3 GREAT seasons (03,06,07) where they did/could have won the NC and 3 damn good years (01, 04, 05). The UGA thottling really damaged 05. 2002 and 20009 are probably similar enough and 2000 and 2008 were mediocre for the most part, but still winning years.

5. Ohio State -- extremely consistent and won a NC.

6. Oklahoma -- awful big game performances, 1 NC but had some serious down years.

I can be convinced otherwise and maybe need to take a closer look at Texas and Florida I need to get some numebers together and get back to this.

have to go with USC at No. 1. One and a half national titles (1 crystal, 1 AP), almost beat Texas for another. Owning the PAC 10, Rose Bowls and most other bowls.

1. USC
From 2000 to 2009 the Trojans were the most consistent winners.

2. LSU
Two BCS titles, undefeated in BCS bowls and solid every year.

3. Texas
The one BCS title and a dominant team in their conference.

4. Florida
Yes two BCS titles, but they were very average during the Zook years.

5. Oklahoma
Always fields a solid team and beat up on Texas the first half of the decade. Can't get it done in big games though.

6. Ohio State
Guess I have to include them on the list, but come on, everyone knows they're garbage.

Why USC...it can be argued that they were the best team in the nation twice when they were not invited to the Natl Champ game
Why not FL...beginning of the decade not so good...without Tebow, they don't make this list!
Why not LSU...lack of QB depth after winning Natl Championships
