This episode is fully dedicated to answering one massive question: what is the greatest men’s NCAA swimming team of all time? We break down the most dominant men’s programs in college swimming history, comparing legendary squads across eras using hard data—A-finals, B-finals, event wins, records, and overall depth. From the star-studded Texas 2017 roster to powerhouse Auburn teams of the mid-2000s, Stanford’s early-90s dominance, Michigan’s 2013 group, and modern contenders like ASU 2024 and Cal’s late-2010s teams, we examine how each lineup stacked up on the national stage. We discuss which teams were built on top-end stars versus overwhelming depth, how scoring trends have changed over time, and what truly separates a great team from an all-time great one.
