ESPN ranks all 119 Div-I schools to determine the best football school of the last decade. It will run until Friday. Make your predictions as to where State palaces. Here are 101-119.

i'll say 36th
7/24/2007 10:13:07 AM
57Our winning percentage is probably about 55%, and it's against some weak competition compared to other BCS conference schools.

7/24/2007 10:28:33 AM
I'll go with 42
7/24/2007 10:29:28 AM
45thWho is going to be #1? Ill say tOSU
7/24/2007 10:32:55 AM
1 10-win season, a couple solid bowl seasons, and then a bunch of fluff built on the backs of weak scheduling: I say 58.
7/24/2007 10:36:50 AM
at least we are not on this list
7/24/2007 10:38:29 AM
We might make top 50 if draft picks produced are considered.
7/24/2007 10:41:56 AM
mid 50's... maybe even low 60's...if we break 50 i think i'd be stunned...
7/24/2007 10:45:08 AM
Yeah I was thinking 57ish myself. It will be interesting to see where we rank 10 years from now. Providing of course TOB pulls us out of the ACC cellar.]

7/24/2007 11:13:04 AM
55...you gotta take into account the 97-99 seasons before Amato got here when we weren't considered much of a football schoolI would be surprised if we broke top 50
7/24/2007 11:34:54 AM
Well, we did go to the MicronPC bowl in '98. But yeah, other than the Rivers era it's been a shitty decade for Wolfpack football.
7/24/2007 11:40:40 AM
I vote for slightly above the shitter (Buffalo, Temple, FIU)
7/24/2007 11:45:20 AM

^^ How in God's Green Earth is USC not in there?USC will be #1 or #2 easily.[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 12:13 PM. Reason : .]
7/24/2007 12:13:29 PM
USC has been good from 2002 to now, but from 1997-2002 they were ranked in the 30s-60s at the end of the seasonthey rank around 12 or 13 over the last decadenow if this system is based solely on the team's ranking, then thats how it should turn out...but knowing ESPN, it'll be like the "who's now" crap with the most popular teams ranking at the top. If this is the case, then USC will be #1 or 2
7/24/2007 12:32:41 PM
its ESPN... they'll have USC in the top 5 for surefor state, im thinkin 50s, but since its ESPN, probably like 65 and UNC will be 28th

we will be right around 49I think USC will be number #1. Multiple National Titles3 heismans
7/24/2007 3:24:21 PM
^^ I agree... Oklahoma should be higher, LSU should be on there, FSU lower, Michigan lower
7/24/2007 3:36:32 PM
^^^relax dude, I put together that list based on where each team finished in the final rankings over the past 10 years, get your panties out of your asscrack. I just added up their final rankings and took the average.I understand that USC and LSU have been hot lately, but not so much at the start of the decade. Teams like FSU and Michigan have been consistently good over the last 10 years. If it makes you feel any better, Wisconsin is ranked 12th and USC is 13th.and I dont really think that ESPN will base their ranking solely on each teams final BCS rankings and that National Championships, Conference championships, Heisman winners, celebrity fans, best mascots, etc. will wind up being factors[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 3:39 PM.

^^^Jarvis Borum, Ian Rafferty, Ray Robinson, Lloyd Harrison, Tony Scott and Andre Maddox might have some say to that list. We seriously could field a damn all-star team as good as any ACC team and have shit to show for it.[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 5:21 PM.

7/24/2007 5:21:31 PM
^lloyd harrison i agree with, take off BDub, he really wasn't that great in college. edit: oh and Lloyd is the #1, hudson the #2.maddox played rover and he is nowhere near A-Dub. Ray-rob nowhere near TA.also, i think KRob was the best WR to ever play at NC State. He was def better than Cotchery. He had more talent than Holt, but unfortunately he didnt have the attitude or work ethic of Holt[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 7:20 PM. Reason : a]
7/24/2007 7:18:58 PM
^^ i remember the good old days, when Ray Rob was called butterfingers for dropping the ball a few times, most of them unimportant...now it's just kinda accepted that one of our running backs is going to drop the ball a few time a game...
