I understand your argument.  However, you said which is THE BEST EVER, not which of these two teams were better.  Of those two teams Kentucky was better in my opinion, but by no means the best ever.  Also, as you see by my icon, I'm a huge WVU fan.  While I consider WVU a great football school, I would never call them the best since they like to choke when it counts.

I didn't say "best ever." I said the best of the two which I gave.  ;)

Okay, fellas. I need your help. You guys won't have any bias (I hope). Me and my buddy got into an argument (team chest bumping). I say the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats are the best college basketball squad ever put together. He begs to differ, saying that the 1994 Arkansas Razorbacks are the best team ever. Which would you say is more deserving of "Best Collegiate Basketball Team Ever"? (Whether or not you believe they are the best or not, it's who would be more deserving).

1996 Kentucky Wildcats?
1994 Arkansas Razorbacks?

Videos of the two teams (respectively).

I can't find an Arkansas Video like the UK video, so I found the best one I could.

Actually yes you did.  But I don't want to argue over it.

I'm trying to remove bias by asking you guys, which it seems was a useless effort. If the team went undefeated, it doesn't mean they were the best ever.

It wasn't just the fact that the UCLA team went undefeated in 1972 ... it was that team's effort over a 3 year period that makes that squad the greatest college basketball team EVER !!!

"The 1972–73 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team won another National Championship for UCLA by beating the Memphis Tigers, 87–66 in the Final Four. In the NCAA Championship, Bill Walton led UCLA to an 87–66 win over Memphis State in which he made 21 of 22 field goal attempts and scored 44 points. Some regard this as the greatest ever offensive performance in American college basketball. The Bruins set a new NCAA record of winning 89 games and losing 1 during a three-year span."

Yes, I saw that, UCLA was probably the best ever.

The point being, I am biased, "best team ever" is my bias, I'm trying to remove that for the sole purpose of the argument I'm having with this leech I hang out with.  :D
