Which college football programs are the greatest of all-time according to the UPI and USA TODAY Coaches final polls?

According to the final Coaches Poll rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 2000s?

Take all the Coaches Poll final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the UPI Coaches Poll national champion gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

USC was fantastic, but the Coaches Poll had to name BCS Champion LSU the 2003 national title – the AP went with the Trojans.

Florida won two national championships under Urban Meyer, Oklahoma was almost always in the mix, and Ohio State won the 2002 national title and reestablished itself as a superpower. But it was Texas that ended up winning the decade with six top ten finishes.
