• 1993 Davey Allison: Led the Winston Cup Series in points for much of the season and only died once

• 2004 Nashville Predators: Hockey season completely canceled due to lockout

• 2007 New England Patriots: As a reward for finishing the regular season 16-0, Bill Belichick let his players have the Super Bowl off
• 49 College Football Teams Since 1970: Achieved the hallowed, prestigious status of an undefeated college football season. Truly remarkable
