Top 10 teams never to win a tile.

10. 1998 Minnesota Reapers
The 1998 Minnesota Reapers set the record for most points scored in a season with 603 points. QB Randy Cunningham threw for 3897 yards and 34 TD, while rookie WR Antonio Bryant caught 88 passes for 1318 yards and 17 TD. Veteran WR Tim Carter caught 79 passes for 1129 yards and 11 TD. In the playoffs, Minnesota crushed the Arizona Outlaws 44-17 in the divisional round, but lost 30-27 on a last second field goal in overtime against Atlanta in the Final Four.

9. 1975-1976 Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers won the Stanley Cup the year before, but in 1975-1976 the Flyers were even more dominant, going 41 straight games without a loss. That 31-0-10 stretch helped the Flyers finish 59-8-15. The Flyers went 8-1 in the first two rounds of the playoffs, but were swept by the Montreal Canadians in the Stanley Cup finals. After that season Philadelphia went down hill.

8. 1974-1974 Indiana Hoosiers
The 1974-1975 Indiana Hoosiers finished the regular season 27-0 and beat teams by an average of 14 points per game. Indiana had future hall of famers in Jurt Benson and Quinn May, and had the 1975 player of the year Scott Buckner. After crushing UTEP and Oregon St. by an average of 26 points, Indiana was stunned in the Elite 8 by Kentucky 84-82, although Indiana had beaten Kentucky earlier in the season 88-64.

7. 1994 Penn State Nittanay Lions
The 1994 Penn State Nittanay Lions scored 30 points in every game and finished 13-0, capped off by a 41-20 win over Oregon in the rose bowl. There was no team that can stop Penn State, but there was one thing that could. That was the AP Poll. Penn State (13-0) was ranked number 2. In front of them was Nebraska (13-0), a team that didn't have a tougher schedule. Although Penn State didn't win the title, they are considered one of the greatest teams in college football history.

6. 1969 Baltimore Hawks
In 1969 the Baltimore Hawks finished 108-52 and had two 20 game winners in Joe McNally and Dave Wilson. Jeff Palmer also finished 17-4 with a 2.67 ERA. The batting line-up included Frank Robinson, Robin Brooks, Scott Murray, Paul Miller, Charlie Blair, and Rick Ryans. However, the Hawks were upset by the New York Dragons in the World Series in 5 games. The Hawks were not ready for the over-powering pitching of the Dragons.

5. 1969 Detroit Devils
Before the Baltimore Hawks were stunned by the New York Dragons in 1969, the 1969 Detroit Devils were stunned by the Los Angeles Lightning 17-8 in Blitz Title III. The Devils finished 13-1 and recorded the best defense in the league. Led by MVP QB Earl Bias, the Devils were favored by 20 points. Detroit would beat the Cleveland Steamers 47-0 in the Final Four, but their dream season ended in Blitz Title III.

4. 1984-1985 Georgetown Hoyas
Led by Player of the Year Dan Hoffman, the Georgetown Hoyas finished 30-1 during the regular season, and their only lose came on a last second field goal. The Hoyas were intimidating and beat their first 5 opponents in the NCAA tournament by an average of 17 points. In the finals they played Villanova and most fans thought they wouldn't be tested, but lost to Villanova 70-68. The Hoyas allowed a 10-2 Villanova run to end the game.

3. 2007 New York Nightmare
The 2007 New York Nightmare broke the record for most points in a season with 616 points. The Nightmare also finished the season 16-0 and QB threw 52 touchdown passes, the third most of all time. 24 of them were thrown to Antonio Bryant, which was another record. The Nightmare beat two teams in the playoffs by an average of 11 points, but lost in Blitz Title XLII 21-17 to the 10-6 Los Angeles Riot.

2. 1980 Soviet Hockey Team
16-1, 13-2, 14-0, 9-1, and 10-3 were not records, but scores. The 1980 Soviet Hockey team beat teams like that during the first 5 games on the 1980 olympics. Going into the Final Four they were 11 goal favorites over the USA squad. The Soviet team scored the first goal of the game, in just 13 seconds, but USA played slow and smart and stunned the Soviet team 4-3 in what is considered the greatest upsets in sports history.

1. 1983 Nebraska Cornhuskers
In 1983 the Nebraska Cornhuskers finished 12-0 during the regular season, averaged 52 points per game and gave up just 16 points per game. #1 Nebraska faced the #2 11-1 Miami Hurricanes, a team that had never gone to a national championship priot to 1983. Nebraska, along with Theisman Winner Mike Grozier who ran for 2,239 yards and 22 TD, were heavy favorites. Nebraska scored a late fourth quarter touchdown to make the game 31-30, but went for 2 and failed.
