NEW YORK - The Banner Society has named Carson-Newman football the team of the decade for the State of Tennessee, the publication announced Thursday.
Carson-Newman produced more wins than any other program in the state in the 2010s (74), had the highest winning percentage of any team in the state of Tennessee for the decade and made four appearances in the NCAA playoffs.
From the Banner Society:
This is not an index of each states' most powerful teams — i.e., who'd win head-to-head — but of the teams that had the best decades. Success is success, no matter the level. You don't have to be an FBS team. (In fact, most of the teams here are not.) Teams from every NCAA division are eligible, along with junior colleges and NAIA programs. Head-to-head results, overall record, and championships won are key criteria. The question I'm aiming to answer: Who enjoyed the best decade?
