Hello from the off-season.

As we get into June, fall camp is only about two months away, meaning it's time to start thinking, talking and writing about college football again after this post-spring ball break. To ease us in to next season, we at SI.com are beginning a weekly series of top 10 lists, which will run every Thursday from now until the Week 1, ranking everything from past events to the best players of 2017.

We're kicking it off with a look back at the last decade and its 10 best games according to, well, me. I apologize in advance for omitting your favorite memory (or, going forward, your favorite quarterback, linebacker, mascot, etc.). Forgive me. I cannot please everyone. In fact, I may not please many. Regardless, and without further ado, let the (list of) games begin.
