I think that LSU has just as good of a claim to it. 2 MNC's, 3 SEC titles, 5 division titles, 7-2 in bowl games, 90-27 record this decade.

 

UF has 2 MNC's this decade, along with 3 SEC titles, 3 division titles, 4-5 in bowl games, 87-29 record from 2000-present.

 

It's close but statistically speaking I think that LSU would have to have the advantage. Remember it's the entire decade just not the last 3 years.

 

Just for giggles....

 

USC- 2 MNC's (1 BCS), 94-21 record, 7 PAC-10 titles, 6-2 in bowl games (6-1 in BCS games), 7 straight years of being in the top 4 in the AP poll at the end of the year. The team of the decade without argument has to be USC.

 

On a side note, can you make a case for a better coach today than Pete Carroll. Name the only PAC-10 team that didn't finish a single season during the 90's as ranked in the AP top 10? USC! What Carroll has restored at USC is simply amazing.

 

Oklahoma- I stand corrected, Oklahoma has more wins this decade than USC. They are 102-18 since 2000! They have only one MNC this decade, along with 7 conference titles. They are only 4-5 in bowls this decade, including 2-4 in BCS games so you have to keep that in mind.

 

Texas- 1 MNC, 97-18 record, 3 conference titles (with two more shared division titles), 7-2 in bowl games.

 

Just some food for thought in the top 5 programs of the decade.

 

 

Today? Yes, Urban Meyer.

On Labor Day weekend in Paul Brown stadium, the #72 and #73 ranked football programs of this decade will see who's got the right to crack the top 70. Doesn't that sound exciting?!!!!!!

You do not get 1/2 of a National title for winning a title. There is no playoff. If you win a title you win a title.

Who says you can't get half a title? You? Everyone else in the known world calls it a split national title and usually considers that half a title. When there's a tie in the NFL, do you imagine that the NFL awards each team a win? No, they're credited with what amounts to half a win.

 

You can't have this both ways man. I don't know what you're playing at here. You're twisting this any way you can to try and say that USC and Florida have an equal number of titles. They either don't have an equal number of titles, or they certainly don't have the same quality of titles (i.e. Florida won each year with no other team having a legitimate claim to the title whereas USC did not). So I'm going to ask you to dispute this one:

 

This decade:

-Florida - 2 Associated Press Titles, 2 BCS Titles

-USC - 2 Associated Press Titles, 1 BCS Title

 

Or how about explaining to me how there can be multiple full titles in a year awarded (No half titles here!) but that we can't credit a single team in a single year with multiple titles (One team, one title, no matter what!). You know what, don't bother. It's because you want to say that USC has two titles as does Florida.

I think that the NCAA obviously thinks that way. Do they credit USC for 7 & 1/2 championships? NO. So there's your answer. And do you know why they do that? It's because the NCAA football title is a MYTHICAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Witch no playoff there is no true chamion.

I think the NCAA doesn't think any way about it. Since, you know, there's no actual NCAA football title. Go ahead. Find me the D1 Bowl Subdivision trophy with the NCAA logo on it.

Flip flop Florida and Oklahoma and i'll live with the rest. There has to be something said for winning your last game every now and then.

Today? Yes, Urban Meyer.

 

Please make that case, definitivly. You can't do it. You can't think Urban's is the better or two but I don't think you can say without a shadow of a doubt that he is.

 

Carroll has won 88 out of 103 games he's coached in college. He's won 7 consecutive Conference Championships, has 1 Consensus National Title to go along with an AP National title. He has won more BCS games than any coach in history (it's only been a decade, but still). In 8 seasons he has taken a once proud program that had struggled for over a decade and turned them into the premier program of today.

 

Meyer has won 83 of 100 games coached. At three stops 4 conference championships (2 MWC, 2 SEC). In his four seasons at UF he's made them possibly being the SEC's top dog of today. He's won more titles than did the original Legend Gators Ball Coach.

 

That's about even, for now. I think both of these guys will go down as two of the greatest coaches in college football history.

I think the NCAA doesn't think any way about it. Since, you know, there's no actual NCAA football title. Go ahead. Find me the D1 Bowl Subdivision trophy with the NCAA logo on it.

To the bolded, isn't that what I just said? The NCAA allows to program's to crown a National Champion and present them a trophy. They allow the AP and the BCS to be the two main people who crown a MNC. It's all mythical. So in reality you could say that anyone is the MNC.

 

You say that a split championship can't count as an individual championship for that team. I say that USC was the best team in the country during their 2 Title years, so to me they are were the National Champion as there is no official way of crowning one team.

That last said all I needed to know. Basically, you considered them the champ, and have set out to count it as full no matter what.

 

Whatever man. I told you in the first place I thought USC was #1 for the decade, only that their titles weren't consensus while both of Florida's were. At the end of the day, you can't dispute that, no matter how hard you try. While many may agree with you that USC was the best team that year, I don't believe anyone is going to agree with you on the notion that USC's titles were equal to Florida.

 

I'm out.

No it's not like I'm a USC fan but I would argue that for any team. It still counts as a title and is recorded as a title.

 

And I could care less if anyone agrees, I don't get into discussions just to go with the flow.

We know, you argue with everyone on everything. We get it.

You know what? That is really getting old. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean it's on purpose. :puke:

 

I have better things to do than look for things to argue about. Obviously I'm going to be on the other side of the fence on a few arugments as we have so many OSU fans (and bandwagon UF fans) on here.

Yeah, God knows as an FSU fan I bend over backwards to jump on that UF bandwagon....

Same here Dragon. I'm a UK and FSU fan. :idunno:
