The Southern California teams of the mid-2000s were one of the greatest college football dynasties ever seen.Arguably the sports coolest as well.In the 80-year history of The Associated Press college football poll, no team has had a longer uninterrupted run at No. 1 than coach Pete Carrolls Trojans.USC set a record by going 33 straight weeks as No. 1 from 2003-05. The Trojans werent just the best team in college football, they did it with style, thanks to the laid-back Carroll leading charismatic superstars like quarterback Matt Leinart and running back Reggie Bush to victory after victory.In the process, USC pulled off a rare feat: Becoming a college team that captivated Los Angeles, which usually fawns over its professional teams like the NBAs Lakers or MLBs Dodgers.We were kind of the pride and joy of that era and that time period and it was just a lot of fun, Bush said. We played well, we worked our butts off. We earned everything that we accomplished.USCs run at No. 1 ended in the 2006 Rose Bowl, which was also one of the best games of the decade. Texas -- led by coach Mack Brown and quarterback Vince Young -- topped the Trojans 41-38 in a back-and-forth thriller.The decade started with Oklahomas last national title in 2000 and ended with Alabamas undefeated championship run under Nick Saban in 2009. In between was USCs dominance and plenty of controversy, with the college game awkwardly lurching toward what would become the College Football Playoff in 2014.The Bowl Championship Series was created in 1998 with the idea of selecting the top two teams to compete for the national title and it didnt take long for the new system to show its weakness.In 2003, LSU beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl to win the BCS title while USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl and stayed at No. 1 in the AP poll, providing the sports last split national champion.In 2004, more controversy ensued when USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Utah and Boise State all went through the regular season undefeated. The BCS national title matchup, which in those days was partially decided by the AP poll, went to USC and Oklahoma while the other three were left out. Auburn finished at No. 3.I dont know if we could have beaten USC, Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. But I sure wanted to try.After the season, the AP asked for its poll to be removed from the BCS formula because of the scrutiny on individual voters rankings, which are made public.Starting in 2005, the BCS would use the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll and Harris poll in its decision-making process.Tuberville said it was obviously frustrating to be left out of the title game in 2004, but he believes the controversy was a much-needed impetus to eventually ending the season with a four-team playoff.I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people that this couldnt happen again, Tuberville said.LSUs success in 2003 and Auburns undefeated run in 2004 was the start of an unprecedented run of dominance for the Southeastern Conference. The league won the last four national titles of the decade, with Florida winning in 2006 and 08, LSU in 07 and Alabama in 09.More schools in the SEC, I think more than other leagues at least, believe theyre going to win the national championship, Tuberville said. And they have the facilities, the mindset and the recruiting to make it happen.BEST PROGRAMSTexas appeared in 99.4 percent of all polls taken.Florida, 92.77 percentOhio State, 91.57 percentBEST RIVALRYThere were a lot of good ones in the 2000s, but none better than the Red River Showdown. The annual Texas-Oklahoma rivalry game in Dallas decided the Big 12 more often than not. Both teams were nationally ranked in nine of the ten meetings. Oklahoma won the first five from 2000-04 but Texas bounced back by winning four of the last five. The Sooners and Longhorns combined to make six BCS title game appearances.MAIN TAKEAWAYCollege footballs march to a playoff system coincides with the rise of the Southeastern Conference in the latter half of the decade. Alabamas Nick Saban solidifies his spot among the all-time great coaches with an undefeated run to a national title in 2009. Though several traditional powers have a good decade, nouveau power such as Virginia Tech, TCU, Oregon and Boise State become contenders.-----AP freelance reporter Mark Ludwiczak in contributed to this story.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .

Oklahoma State dominated Wichita 93-76 behind 22 points each from Carroll and Jawun Evans.I think we were more calm, Carroll explained. Last year, if teams made a big run, we would kind of give in.

Two three-pointers from Hammonds and another from Carroll put Oklahoma State ahead 61-41 with 16:41 to play, and the Shockers never threatened again.BIG PICTUREOklahoma State: The Cowboys get their best victory -- on the road against an NCAA Tournament quality team -- just in time to provide momentum for Big 12 play.Wichita State: On the verge of a national ranking, the Shockers were overmatched at times in a loss that could haunt Wichita State and the Missouri Valley Conference on Selection Sunday.BENCH MATCHUPEntering the game, Wichita State used its bench for 47.4 percent of its minutes, the most nationally.
