Top teams of the 00's

Dr. Saturday links to a top teams of the decade poll at the Orlando Sentinel and gives his own list:

1. Texas (2005)
2. Miami (2001)
3. USC (2004)
4. Auburn (2004)
5. Oklahoma (2000)
6. Florida (2008)
7. LSU (2003)
8. USC (2003)
9. USC (2005)
T-10. USC (2008)
T-10. Texas (2008)

I don't disagree too much with that, although I would probably move 2005 USC ahead of 2003 LSU and give 2002 Ohio State the 10th spot instead of USC/Texas. Also, the best team that doesn't deserve to be on the list, if that makes any sense: the schizophrenic 2001 Florida Gators, who were very talented and drilled almost everyone they played, but lost to a pretty good Tennessee team and a pretty bad Auburn team (I was at that game!).

The 2004 Auburn team is ranked as the best SEC team of the decade, which I think is correct; it's difficult for me to imagine even the Tebow-monster moving on that defense. Ooh, the injustice of that season is hitting me again; I need to lie down.

The only reason I post this is that the Orlando Sentinel shouldn't be running this poll. There is still another year left! Let's see what Florida, USC, or whoever else is going to be good this year does.
