My favorite college football team is USC Trojans because I live in Southern California and we have no professional football team. Plus, my teacher was an alumni and he was one of the coolest teachers at my highschool...he would always try to brainwash his students into USC fans.

If it's all about the history of the rivalry, it has to be USC vs. Notre Dame... that goes way back to the early 1930's  (if not the late 20's) and they've played 70 some times over the years... (imagine going from Southern California to South Bend before commercial air travel) to play a football game.  \n\nThe greatest historically would definitely be Army vs. Navy... this game has been irrelevant in recent years, but back in the day both Army and Navy were top football programs, plus they had the military rivalry to go with it.\n\nThe greatest of all time is Ohio State and Michigan.  It's been the last game of the regular season for each team since 1935 and it frequently decides who represents the big ten in the rose bowl and many times the eventual national champion..  On top of that both teams are usually highly ranked and/or undefeated.  Oklahoma/Texas is a great regional rivalry too, but OSU vs. Michigan is so much more, since both teams have been so good for so long.

Cleveland Browns for 20+ years.  \n\nI've been through all sorts of ups and downs in my time following this team.  Bernie, Ozzie, Mack and Bynar, The Dog Pound (the REAL one from the 80's), 2 AFC championship games including The Fumble and The Drive, "diminishing skills", The Deception, The Return... still attempting to return... although Phil Savage might finally have them turning the corner now - no REALLY!

Well, I can't really imagine that you are satisfied with the wide array of responses up above as neither they really address the question or even attempt to back it up whatsoever.  So here it is:\n\nThere has and always will be a debate over who is the greatest NHL team of all-time.  If you are wondering what has been the winniest franchise throughout history, it would be the Montreal Canadiens, who have won 24 Stanley Cups since 1917 when the NHL began it's official operations.  Next closest is the Toronto Maple Leafs with something like 12, but who really cares because they haven't won it since like 1967 and probably never will again at the rate that they are going.\n\nBut the best team of players ever assembled.  If you would like to read what Sports Illustrated's Tom Layberger has said on the subject, go to this link:\n\nhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/tom_layberger/03/01/dominant.teams/\n\nHe lays out the top 10 teams of all-time in great detail.\n\nIf you want my opinion and likely anyone else with half a hockey brain to name the best team of all-time it would have to be the Edmonton Oilers between 1983-1984, 1984-1985.  They were stacked:  \nGrant Fuhr - a stone wall of a goalie, \nMark Messier - A solid skating, shit-kicking centre, \nGlenn Anderson - high speed winger, \nPaul Coffey - arguably to this day the greatest defenceman of all-time, \nKevin Lowe - current GM of the Edmonton Oilers, \nEsa Tikkanen, Old school version of Ville Nimmenen - annoying Finn player who scores goals and plays cagy defence, \nJari Kurri - the all-time leading Finnish points leader, who ALWAYS found the back of the net in clutch times,\nAnd all coached by Glen Sather - a revolutionary coach who demanded the best of his players and competed to always win.\n\nI am of course omitting one name:\nWayne Gretzky is undisputably the greatest NHL hockey player of all-time.  "The great one" holds more hockey scoring records than entire other teams combined.  Entire pages have been re-written into the record books and there they will remain in stone as they will never be broken.  His single season record of 212 points in a season will likely never be broken; 50 goals in 35 games is completely untouchable, and the fact is, he managed to amass these massive point totals over years and in clutch times in the playoffs as well.\n\nGretzky revolutionized hockey in a way that one way ever has before.  His quote:  "Well, I think an assist is just as good as a goal." is often repeated in minor hockey arenas.  His idea of using the boards, behind the net, other players' skates/bodies is completely unparalled.  He was fast, had a deadly accurate shot, and made behind the back passes while looking the other way to teammates who were practically too stunned to do anything about it.\n\nI saw Gretzky once score a goal right off the face-off.  That's how good he was.  I remember when he used to shoot the puck down the ice like it was icing, only to see it bounce in a funny way off the boards and straight to Jari Kurri for an easy tap-in.  Dude, Gretzky was seriously ridiculously good.  \n\nNow, the Edmonton Oilers won the cup 4 out of 5 years, between 83 and 88, although interestingly lost out in the 1985-1986 season in one of the most famed playoff series of all-time:\n  \nIn game 7 in the opening round against their arch-rivals The Calgary Flames, with 2.4 seconds left, Steve Smith (a defenceman for the Oilers) skated around the net in his own zone and in a completely harmless play accidentally passed the puck into his own net!  This play has been re-shown and re-played probably 1,000,000 times to hockey fans everywhere and became fashionable to say:  "To pull a Steve Smith."  The fans went nuts of course, and so did the media who of course expected the Oilers to coast to an easy 3rd straight Stanley Cup.\n\nAnd do you know how classy Wayne Gretzky is?  He said to the media, to the fans, to the

Good question. I think the only other team that could stack up against them statistically is the Steelers of the 1970's. If you ask Michael Irving however, he would say dallas of the 1990's was the greatest team ever, eventhough half of them had to split jail time with football time (Hee hee). If the Patriots of today were to play either of those two teams The Pats would win hands down and the main reason for this is the NFL is constantly getting bigger, faster and stronger each year. I doubt if a Steelers offensive line which probably averaged about 250-260 Lbs could effectively block New Englands D-Line which averages around 300lbs and whom are faster and stronger. No question the Patriots are the greatest team of at least the last twenty years...

1927 New York Yankees also known as Murderers Row. They were the best team ever assembled for a season. Long term, I would say the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70's. 4 Super Bowl wins in 6 years and the one year they didn't win was the best team ever. Injuries to 3 top running backs stopped them from winning 5 in 6 years. They had it all, offense, defense, special teams, coach.

According to many people, the Brazil squad of 1970, including Pele, Gerson, Rivelino, Jairzinho, Tostao and Carlos Alberto, are considered to be the greatest team of all time in the world cup. They won the 1970 cup beating Italy in Mexico City, the score was 4-1 on 21.6.70 with 110 000 in attendance.

The best NBA team of all time would have to be the 2004 Detroit Pistons. Everyone is going to say the Bulls in the Jordan era, but would the Bulls be a good TEAM without Jordan. The 2004 Detroit Pistons played as a team with no big superstars to pave the way to the championship like the Chicago Bulls. \n\nWith all the great players in the NBA today having a team with no GREAT players go on and win a championship takes extreme teamwork. What the Detroit Pistons had in 2004 was special. They worked great as a team, played for the love of the game and for the thrill of victory.\n\nThe best NBA TEAM of all time would have to go to the 2004 Detroit Pistons who played smart and fought hard to win the championship title.
