CBS Story

No matter where trophy resides, this decade belongs to Ohio
NEW ORLEANS -- This has been the Ohio decade.
It started with Youngstown native Bob Stoops running the table with Oklahoma in 2000. The pride of Mentor, Jim Tressel, got his ring in 2002. Ashtabula's Urban Meyer won it all with Florida in 2006.
Each small-town Ohio boy won a national championship in his second season with his school. In the process, these three redefined expectations for coaches everywhere. If they could do it in two years, surmised the average AD, why can't my guy?
Maybe it's an Ohio thing. This is their time. This is their state's time. No matter what happens in Monday's BCS National Championship Game, four of this decade's eight BCS titles will have been won by Ohio natives.
That's not a coincidence for Ohio. That's a dynasty, and not a new one.
