Several news outlets are doing pieces on some of the most iconic teams, players, and moments in the history of college football during this 150 year anniversary of the sport, and USA TODAY is no different. It has rolled out several pieces, and the latest is a video segment by national writer Paul Myerberg.
He discusses the top three most dominant teams of college football during the 21st Century. For those math and historical wizards out there, that would mean from the year 2000 up until this year.
Of course Ohio State is in the running, and Myerberg labels the Buckeyes as the second most dominant team, just in front of the Clemson Tigers. Here’s what he says about OSU’s run.
“They’ve won two national championships since 2000 — one under Jim Tressel, one more recently under Urban Meyer. But every year since 2000, they’ve been good, at the baseline, good. Sometimes they’ve been great, they’ve been awesome. Every year though, unlike a lot of teams in the country, and a lot of other teams in contention to be the best team of this 21st Century — Ohio State, every year, pencil it in. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve wins.”
Of course you know what team Myerberg picked as the most dominant team of the Century, it’s none other than Alabama, and it’s hard to argue against.
