In chron order...(am I missing any?)...

'62 Packers (13-1)
'63 Bears (11-1-2)
'67 Raiders (13-1)
'67 Rams (11-1-2)
'67 Colts (11-1-2)
'68 Colts (13-1)
'69 Raiders (12-1-1)
'76 Raiders (13-1)

*if you'd wish to include '69 Vikes, '75 Steelers, and even '77 Broncos (each 12-1 going into meaningless finale) along with...the '72 Dolphins - go ahead. '47 (12-1-1) & '48 (14-0) Browns? Okay. Already have ourselves a list of super teams! And then to add those??

A bit before my time but here goes. This is an era that’s intriguing to me. The late 60s specifically.

1. ‘62 Packers... might very well be my choice for best single season team ever.
2. ‘68 Colts... 4 game late season stretch allowing no TDs and 12 points total.
*** much like the recent "15-1" thread, I think I would slot the '72 Dolphins here if they'd lost a game.
3. ‘67 Rams
4. ‘67 Colts
5. ‘67 Raiders
6. ‘63 Bears... fairly weak offense knocks them down here.
7. ‘69 Raiders
8. ‘76 Raiders
