Last week, Bill Connelly wrote a piece in which he ranked the best college football teams by decade according to SP+. NC State did not rank in the top 10 for any decade, and that’s okay. Listen, none of the decades that have happened so far have been our decade; this happens to a lot of teams.
Bill was kind enough to include all of his data for each school (which you can peruse here), though, and below I have listed the top-rated NC State team for each decade. Little is known about some of these teams, so I’ve filled in the blanks here and there with things I made up.
