The 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament has yielded a potentially all-time great Final Four. For just the second time in tournament history, all four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the national semifinals, setting the stage for three incredible clashes of titans in San Antonio.

Still, it's hard not to get hyped for what's in front of us as we prepare to see 2024-25's best square off for the crown. Whoever emerges just might take their place among the best college basketball teams to ever hit the hardwood.

But who are those top teams of all time? Well, we at Bleacher Report have you covered with our own version of the Sweet 16. In sorting between teams from different eras, we put an emphasis on dominance—measured generally by wins, margins of victory and a lack of losses—to come up with our rankings for the best teams of all time. As magical as their runs were, Cinderella teams were not considered.

This list is subjective and certainly left off some incredible teams. We're splitting hair here, so feel free to agree or disagree in the app comments.

With apologies to Baylor and Gonzaga in 2021, Virginia in 2019, Villanova in 2018, North Carolina in 2009, Kansas in 2008, Duke in 2001, Houston's Phi Slama Jama, Patrick Ewing's Georgetown squads and too many of John Wooden's UCLA teams to count (among many others) here are our top 16 college basketball teams of all time.
