Squalicum (1): 2014

Last year, the Top 500 list of players (of the last 40 years) went over really well. Using mathematical equations, with Win/Loss records, playoff success, classification, common opponents, strength of schedule, head to head matchups, point differential (among other factors), I will unveil the Top 150 teams of the last 40 years. It definitely won’t be perfect, but everyone likes a big list! Input would be greatly appreciated.  The format will be the same, it will count down from number 150 and display a new team each day, displaying key factors of what made that team such a success. Everyone knows which teams were the absolute best, but if you can think of some sleeper teams that should have received greater recognition, it could be helpful. Thanks!
