In the debut section of Breitbart Sports at the beginning of 2013, we listed the Minnesota women’s hockey team as the best college team in any sport. They were 20-0 at the time, and this week improved to 41-0 to claim the NCAA title. Combined with their eight wins to close out last season, the team now has the 47th longest known win streak in pro or Division I college sports. Here are the top 20 of all time we can identify from sources ranging from Wikipedia listings to the New York Times.
