Re: ESPN.com's 10 best programs of the past decade....
It's hard to argue against the team that won back to back titles, they're clearly the #1 team in my mind. They had the bullseye on them all year and still delivered. As good as I think the 2005 UNC team was, I can't put them ahead of Florida, despite beating a better team in the championship game.Comment

Your logic goes both ways. Just because Florida won doesn't mean it was a great year for basketball.Comment

What does all this prove? They were the best team in the land the last two years...it would be interesting if the 4 jrs came back next year and they won it 3 times in a row. Would folks just say it was a down 3 years of college basketball?"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Florida beat UCLA twice in the Final 4. If not for the Gators, they may have won 2 in a row. I think the Gators can claim to have beaten another great team on their run.Originally posted by VP Richard M.

Thanks, dookies!Comment

Florida has had a great run. Putting them up against other teams is not fair, because they can't help they were in a situation when CB was down a lil bit. They took full advantage and beat UCLA like a drum twice. I think them beating OSU two times was better than clobbering UCLA two times. UCLA just didn't show up for either game.President of the Devils Den

Re: ESPN.com's 10 best programs of the past decade....
Remember this is based on teams PER YEAR. Not counting the previous year before that. So, in that case the 2006 Gators and the 2007 Gators are different teams.
IMO, I think 2001 Duke or the 2005 Heels team smokes the 2007 Gators. It's really hard to predict these kinds of matchups. But if we're just going purely on roster, talent, and coaching without looking at the accolades or accomplishments, the 01 Duke or 05 UNC team has the edge over either 06 or 07 Gators.Comment
