re: Dennis Dodd's decade rankings 1-10

1. Texas (1 No. 1, 6 Top 10, 9 Top 25)

But look at their number of conference championships and BCS wins compared to the others in the discussion (USC, OU, OSU, UF, and LSU).

IMO, this is what it's like, as of now, entering the final year of the decade (and before somebody corrects me by saying the decade has two more seasons, that's technically true, but you don't say the 90s and include 2000, the 80s and include 1990, etc. This is, for all intents and purposes, the final season of the decade for college football starting in 2000).

1-3: USC, UF, LSU
4-5: OSU, OU
6: UT

If any of these 6 teams wins the NC, THEY ARE the team of the decade. If someone else wins it (i.e. Bama, Oklahoma St, etc), then the "title" will go to the top 3 team (UF, LSU, USC) that had the best season. IMO, of course.
