Who are the top 10 coaches in college football?

A straightforward question, but one that generated a wide range of opinions.

In asking our reporters for their top 10, we left the parameters open, allowing them to weigh the factors they thought were important -- from past accomplishments to potential future success -- however they saw fit.

No matter how you slice it, Kirby Smart of Georgia is the current standard-bearer. No surprise there. But after that, things got interesting.
