I want to find out more of the hard evidence on the topic instead of opinions and shallow statistics. More facts that can be used to compare teams from different eras will be extremely helpful. These stats will go further in determining who was truly the best team of all time, rather than just overall team wins. Also I'd like to look at the individuals on the teams and use their stats comparatively to also help determine the overall team success.
What I Found Out
Many of the teams that are considered to be among the best of all-time come from varying decades and time periods, so it is very difficult to find statistical data on a few of them. Also because of this many of today’s programs and algorithms are obsolete for those teams because

The two 70’s teams went undefeated with the ‘68 team having only one blemish in a loss at #2 Houston, which was dubbed as “The Game of the Century” by basketball fans of the era. And those two teams met again in the Final Four with UCLA winning handily 101-69, to avenge their only loss in an otherwise dominant season. Much like the two Indiana teams, the two UCLA teams in 1972 and 73 had a familiar feel about them the second time around, with four starters from the 1972 team returning and starting for the 1973 squad. Both teams went 30-0 and won the National Title game at the end of March, but because both teams are so similar I chose the more experienced 1973 team for my …show more content…
Now that I had eliminated the 1975 Indiana team, Georgetown was the only team on the list to not win the National Championship, and only UCLA and Indiana went undefeated throughout the entire season. And every team on the list besides Georgetown won their regular season conference championship, so all of these teams are very similar in overall resumes. Looking at their superficial resumes was not enough to properly compare these teams due to the fact that they all come from such different time periods. The style of play and amount of elite competition played a large role in how much success each of these particular teams had. I pondered whether or not to make this paper about the most dominant team in college basketball history, but then that would be UCLA unanimously because they played against the least amount of elite teams. So I knew it must be about the best team in college basketball history, but I still did not know how to properly compare all of the teams. I eventually decided, after researching effective ways to compare teams, to use record against top 25 and top 5 teams, average win margin, number of players drafted into the NBA, and also other intangible as my measuring stick of these

UCLA has a world renouned sports program, consisting of highly ranked and successfully teams. UCLA carries a huge reputation on its back in sports, molding Lakers point guard Lonzo ball and producing hall-of-famers in almost every one of their Sports. Are you worthy to live up to 100 NCAA titles, or a count of 261 Olympic medals? UCLA’s girls basketball team is ranked number 11 in the entire woman's NCAA program.

Thesis: The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) formula has been used to determine the top twenty-five teams in NCAA Division I college since 1998. Many think this system is inadequate and should be changed. The alternative is a playoff system that would give more of the top teams a chance to be named the NCAA football National Champion.
“It’s an honor to be playing with these four players and to be a part of their fifth World Series title and my first.” said Mark Teixeira as they won their 27th World Series. The Yankees are the best team to ever play the game of baseball. First of all, They have some of the best players to ever play baseball. For instance, Alex Rodriguez is the 4th all time home run leader with 696, Barry Bonds has the most with 762. Derek Jeter is 6th on the all time hits list having 3465. Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle were all stars of the New York Yankees and they were considered some of the best players of all time. Next, The Yankees have the most World Series wins ever. They have 27 of them and the team with the second most

Most people think of a weak, out of shape baseball team when they hear the Atlanta Braves but it’s not always been that way. The braves have won the World Series a total of three times, the first being in 1914 the second being in 1957 and the last being in 1995 which wasn’t all that long ago. The Braves have also had many great players inducted into baseball hall of fame, including John Smoltz, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and the most recent inductee Chipper Jones. My third reason for stating that the Braves are the best team of all time is because in the 90’s they had in my opinion the best baseball
Tarkenton, Grant, Peterson, and Allen. Just a few names that come to mind when you think of one of the greatest football franchises of all time. There are quite a few factors that make the Minnesota Vikings one of the most dominant teams in the NFL in history and presently. To name a few they have an extremely successful past, a moderately notable present era due to on and off success throughout the 2000s, and a seemingly bright future.
My methodology for doing this was I compiled the information for the top 100 high school recruits from the years 2010 to 2014, analyzing the statistics for just about 500 players. Each player would be rewarded a point if they met the criteria for win shares, and a point if they met the criteria in the draft. If they received a point in each category they were labeled an overachiever, if they received a point in one category but not the other they would be meeting expectations, and a point in neither category would result in them underachieving. A state with a large amount of overachievers and those meeting expectations has clearly been underrated, and the states with large amount of underachievers have been overrated.
The history of a team goes back for a long time. The team names are what people are proud to call themselves. Look at
UCLA would go on to finish 10-3 in back-to-back seasons, which many would think is an average to good season for UCLA. However, Los Angeles had been dominated by the Trojans and their record from 1990-2009 is a clear example of that. USC played in 13 bowl games in 19 years not counting the two games that were vacated. USC would also win eight conference championships in this span of 19 years, also not counting the one they would vacate in 2005. USC would also go on to win one national championship during that span but would have to vacate another from their 2004 season. UCLA, on the other hand, didn't experience the same level of success. The traditional basketball powerhouse went to the same number of bowls before the sanctions were handed down however they didn't receive much notoriety for their achievements as they only amassed three conference championships, which all of them occurred from 1990-1995. The Bruins would also not win a national championship like their inner-city rival did.
The 1919 Chicago White Sox were the best team in the year 1919. I learned that your
Putting together, the optimal lineup to pursue championships is the ultimate goal of every sports team. Data analytics provide extensive detail into player abilities that allow team management to compose the most cohesive unit that they can.

The practical value of performance analysis is that well-chosen performance indicators allow good and bad techniques or team performances to be highlighted (Hughes & Franks, 2008). Trinic et al. (2002) analysed the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) official performance indicators with the goal of identifying parameters that differentiated between winning and losing teams which played in the final tournaments of the European club championships from 1992 to 2000. Discriminant function structure coefficients (SC) from discriminant analysis exposed that defensive rebounds (SC = 0.42), field goal percentage (3-point field goals made SC = 0.24, 3-point field goals missed SC = -0.30, 2-point field goals made SC = 0.14 and 2-point field goals missed SC = -0.26), and free throw percentage (SC = 0.26) had the highest discriminative power respectively.
Building a good team on Ultimate team in Fifa 14 is something that many people don’t know how to do. First of all, what is Fifa 14? Fifa 14 was created by Electronics Arts, and was released in late 2013 for all game consoles.

During my internship I worked with Franklin High School’s football team, I started on June 25th and worked all the way to August 14th Monday-Friday for 3.5 hours each day. So all together I gotten a total of 122 hours. What I did during the internship was help the coaches in any way I possibly could, such as help setting up equipment for drills, helping the quarterbacks warm up, help run drills , and being the ball boy during their scrimmages. I did anything that the coaches asked me to help with. From this experience, I learned many things that goes into being a coach for a football team. There were some thing that I noticed about the football team that I learned about in my sports in society class. I remember talking about how some athletes think that sports are their only way of being successful, and their only way of getting out were their living right now. Some of the high schoolers saw football as their ticket of getting out of their predicaments. Sometimes they focus so much on football that they let their grades slip and get into trouble with their classes. Though the coaches do a real good job of reminding them that it’s just not their athletic ability that’ll get them into a good college, but they also have to get good grades too. The coaches do a real good job of keeping their athletes on the right track and help them when they need help so that they can play football. Something that I learned in my sponsorship and sales class helped with this situation. We
