I think most sports fans are partial to the teams that they grew up watching, players of their generation.
I grew up on the '69 and the '70 horns. Maybe that's why I rank them higher than some teams that might have better.
Also SC in '72 and OK in '74 are high up on my list. I still think that OK team was the best team we ever played.
Although they lost I thought the '86 Miami team was the best team of the 80's.
The Nebraska team in '95 was the best team of the 90's.
And I agree with others on this thread that the '01 canes and the '05 horns were the best teams of that decade.
It's a tough call for the teens.
And the 20's are not over
My .02 worth
Sorry if I'm long winded.
