The Chronical sports section feature story this Dec. 27th is an article ranking the "teams of the decade" in college football.
They list 6 teams with USC ranked #1. Each school's credentials are positioned with their respective ranks. The next 5, after SC are refered to as "the finalists" but are listed in descending order, #'s 2 through 6.
OU is listed as #2, followed by LSU, Florida, Texas, & Ohio State. The basis for the rankings include.....record, record vs ranked opponents, conference titles, BCS bowls & record, top 5 finishes, and a highlight which manifests itself as the # of NC's during the period.
The article does make comment of the fact that one could argue that either Florida or LSU might be considered higher than OU but they give it to the Sooners based strictly on the numbers. It goes on to say that if you rank them by "feel" you might opt for either of the SEC powers.
