The following lists are made tongue-in-cheek and are solely the opinion of the author, meant to spark discussion and debate both serious and not. The following teams consist of quiz bowl players in the college level who have made their indelible impressions upon me as a player and a coach. If you haven't made this list, it's probably because I don't know you well enough. On principle, I am never included in any of the lists, simply because I feel I am not worthy to be a teammate.
