Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 5101731, member: 6872"] list of candidates IMHO not including one time champs which is insufficient to me: Immaculata Old Dominion Louisiana Tech (the only champs under two coaches. The only true "dynasty.) Tennessee (gotta be Pat had an empire) UConn (gotta be Geno has an empire)) Stanford Notre Dame Baylor South Carolina (new blood. Has their ten year period of excellence been long enough?) U$C (meh 2 time champs and that's about it) Feel free to add. Let me discuss U$C a bit more. 2 Championships might be enough if they were part of a more extended period of excellence. Let's say a 300 win decade. As it is, they are a candidate because they had 3 excellent years. but I don't make it in. Now, if they win a championship this year. . . they would become only the second true dynasty. What about a Louisville? Not yet, but let's say they win a championship this year. They have had an extended period of excellence. Would they be considered? Of course, it's all in the eye of the beholder. A Louisville fan's perspective is different than a UConn fan. ATennessee fan is going to argue that blueblood status doesn't go away. An LSU fan might argue that only recent history matters. The purpose of the thread is fun discussion while we await the season. [/QUOTE]
