National Champion with the most wins?

[Bhad Rhabies]

I’m curious does anyone know who won a title and had the most wins in that season?

I know Wooden went 30-0 and was cheating his pants off, but who’s won the most games total in a championship season?

Why does this feel like a trick question.

Kentucky in 2012 won 38 games

It’s not a trick question, I’m just curious if what I read was correct, are we the only team to ever win it with more than 37?

Yes, UK only team with more than 37 wins in a title season. I know Duke and UConn won 37 games.

It is indeed us with 38-2.

IU still holds the last undefeated season with a title at 32-0.

Man, 37 isn’t 38 though, Duke won’t ever see that level of success again, and Hurley just had his magnum opus at UConn and didn’t hit it.

And to think.....we almost topped it. Damn that loss STILL hurts.

If Cal goes 40-0 and gets his second title, he's still in Lexington.

Wild.

Imagine winning 38 games 3 times and only having 1 title to show for it.

That's why it's so damn mindboggling.

"Cal can't coach"......I mean, yeah, now. But you don't win 38 games three damn times without knowing something.

Ugh. So frustrating. But enough. It's time to move on.

At Memphis I think he had some dudes on his staff that created an illusion that he was a brilliant coach.

At Kentucky early on Cal had so much talent it didn’t matter who was coaching until Duke started cutting into that talent.

Post 2019, I don’t think Cal put in a single hard days work.

2015 should have blown that out by 3 games....

I mean, once you write off to luck. Three times, (and the only coach to do that) is an accomplishment no matter how crappy his last handful of seasons. That's why it's been so sad to watch the decline. Like, damn.......

Stall Ball and a Rooferee. That bastard cost us two titles

2 Titles with 1 Undefeated season.. yeah he can stay around a few more years...

Yeah it Cal had tits and his last name was Robinson, he’d be my aunt.

He’s not a 2 time champion. He won’t ever be one, he and Izzo are the only title winning hall of fame coaches of their generations who will retire with one.

If Cal won 2-3 he’d have the grace to go out of here the way JB went out at Syracuse.

About that first part....
