DEFINING OUR UPCOMING SEASON

Wikipedia defines a sports dynasty as a team that dominates their sport or league for multiple seasons or years.

Such dominance is often only realized in retrospect. Whether a team has achieved “dynasty” status is often subjective, and can be a frequent topic of debate among sports fans.

Some argue that a dynasty requires consecutive championships over a period of time, as in the case of UCLA Bruins men's basketball from 1964 to 1975. Others suggest that non-consecutive championships are sufficient, as in the case of the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and some feel that a team must simply dominate its league but need not win championships, as in the case of the Buffalo Bills of the early 1990s who lost four consecutive Super Bowls.

But what if the team both dominates and wins championships?
