After being overlooked thanks to the star power of LSU and Iowa, South Carolina finished the most under the radar dominant championship run in the NCAA. The Gamecocks completed a perfect 38-0 season that culminated in a national title.

Dominance certainly isn't a new concept for Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks. Since taking over as head coach, Staley has made South Carolina a force to be reckoned with.

After being announced as head coach back in 2008, Staley has amassed a 440-106 record with the Gamecocks including three national championships. Now backed with another top three class and an already deep roster, South Carolina is favorited to go back to back next season.

The ESPYS have quite the list of nominations for it's "Best Team" category including the: Kansas City Chiefs, South Carolina Women's Basketball, Michigan football team, Las Vegas Aces, Uconn Men's Basketball, Oklahoma Softball, Boston Celtics, Florida Panthers, and the Texas Rangers.
