Yeah, that Auburn team was damn good. That being said, I can name about 13 draft picks off of the 2004 OU team that got destroyed by USC. USC was that good.

That OU team had a few players that are currently NFL pro bowlers.

No..I'm not one of those who thinks the 01 Canes could beat what I consider the most intimidating "machine" ever seen in College Football.

That Husker team was flat out scary as hell.
Unfortunately, I never saw that team play (too young / wasn't paying enough attention to college football / lack of internet / at that point lack of interest), and the topic post did limit the team selection to teams in this decade.

That said, just looking at the box scores of the games on their schedule with no context... dear mother of God.

They were insanely good. I remember my dad watching them dismantle Florida and saying they were the best team he had ever watched and that stuck with me since he HATES Nebraska.

And those OU pro bowlers turned the ball over about half a dozen times on their side of the 50 as well in that game. Any team will get annihilated doing that. (NOT saying that USC wasn't damn good.)

Re: Top Undefeated Teams of the Decade?

After 2001 Miami, it's a crapshoot.

Interesting to see nobody giving 2002 Ohio State respect. IMO, they would beat everybody head to head except '02 Miami because they're secondary was excellent.

Not even the best OSU team of the decade.

I would beg to differ there. They made not have the most overall talent on that team...but they had tons of talent where it really matters in college football.

Didn't 02 tOSU beat 02 Miami?

I'd fathom to guess that the apparent controversy surrounding the circumstances of the final game of their undefeated season, right or wrong, as a reason that people are hesitant to bring them further into play in the conversation. Another factor is that they didn't really have a star like Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Ken Dorsey, Vince Young, etc. Certainly they had great players, but none that got the media attention of the above few.

Finally, and more subjectively, I've never really been thoroughly impressed with this decade's Buckeye squads compared to the other recent college football superpowers. Maybe it's that they aren't as flashy as the other teams, maybe it's their recent struggles in national title games... not really sure, but I'm reluctant to put them above the other teams mentioned in this conversation.

They were the luckiest team. They were the Luckeyes. The 2005 team was the most talented.
