Decade Retrospective: Standout Squad From Big Name Teams

Coaches like to say it a lot: Each year is a brand new team, which means there were a lot of different rosters over the years from 2010-2019. We set out to choose the best of the best for 11 different top teams this decade. These teams may not have been the ones to have won their school a national championship of have a best finish in program history but were, by individual accomplishments and our opinion, the strongest of the decade.
