To be honest the timeframe for this isn't great.
While starting with a round number like "2000" feels good (because it's big and it's round), there is a big reason to set it later... and that's the number of games in a season.
Prior to 2002, the regular season in college football was 11 games. In 2002 and 2003 it was 12 games, then went back to 11 in 2004 and 2005 then went to 12 for good in 2006 and beyond.
A flat mark like "winning 10 games" is harder in an 11 game season than a 12 game season. For a measure like that, it's better to start in 2006.
