The 10 Best Teams in College Basketball History | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Overall Record: 510-108 (82.5 winning percentage); one national championship; five Final Fours; 14 consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles

Time to venture into the "dynasties."

We put that term in quotes because the only true college basketball dynasty was Wooden's UCLA Bruins. Ten national championships in 12 years is untouchable. No other program can boast that many titles in 80 years of NCAA tournament history, let alone in the span of a dozen years.

However, these next four teams were relevant in every (or almost every) year for well over a decade, so they fall somewhere between the Wooden-led juggernaut and the previous five teams that had a nice multiyear spurt.

The post-Y2K Jayhawks turned the Big 12 into their personal playground. During this 17-season stretch, they earned at least a share of the regular-season conference crown 16 times—and still won a dozen league games in the one exception to that rule. In all 17 years, they finished in the Top 17 of the AP poll and earned a No. 4 seed or better in the NCAA tournament, including nine No. 1 seeds.

When Roy Williams left for the North Carolina job in 2003, the Jayhawks barely missed a step in their transition to life under Bill Self. And by his fourth year at the helm, they were a force of nature once again.

During those 17 years, 13 Kansas players were named a consensus first-team or second-team All-American: Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Wayne Simien, Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, Marcus Morris, Thomas Robinson, Ben McLemore, Jeff Withey, Andrew Wiggins, Perry Ellis, Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham.

It's hard to believe there's only one national championship to show for it, though, and they needed the Mario Chalmers miracle three to force overtime in that 2008 title game against Memphis.

Not to diminish that championship or the other four trips to the Final Four. The NCAA tournament is a fickle, random entity, after all. But Kansas has sent 36 players to the NBA since 2002. You'd think with all that talent and all those high seeds, the Jayhawks could've at least won it all a couple of times. That not-so-minor detail kept them out of our top four.
