TOP 10 of the 2005 Season

[ACE]

Since the season is over I was thinking of how certain newspapers put "the top ten" and I decided to do one for this past D-1 season. Just my opinion. #1 being the best/most intriguing story of 2005

#10 - BYU nearly entering the top 10 by going 20-0 to start the season.

#9 - Certain teams making the NCAA tournament that shouldn't have

#8 - Certain teams not making the tournament that should have

#7 - Freshman impact of Folukke, Harmatto, Fawsett, Larsen, Barboza among others.

#5 - Texas upsetting Nebraska to end the season

#5 - UCLA upsetting Washington to ruin a perfect season.

# 4 - Texas not being a top 16 seed

#3 - Penn State losing at home in regionals

#2 - Tennessee's and Santa Clara's run to the Final Four

#1 - Washington's First ever National Championship

You're right...Houghtelling's POY should have been there. Not that it's not deserving, but a complete surprise for the most part.

How could Nebraska getting 10,000-plus in attendance four times and more than 15,000 once not make the list? I think that's impressive and set a new NCAA record twice.
