Individual seasons

Articles can be create on indiviual seasons of the top leagues as they are notable. But if the article consists of mainly stats, Wikipedia is not a stats directory, and there are other sites on the web, baseball-reference for example that has the same kind of info. It is strongly recommended that those articles are redirected to the team page until sourced prose is created. College sports teams aren't notable unless they are Division-A college football teams of the highest leagues, like the Big Ten

Individual games

Games aren't notable, there has been millions of them played and wikipedia isn't a news source. Go to yahoo or another website if you want to look at them, or create a sports wiki. The only games that an article can be written about are championship games, or games that reached national front page news, like Pacers-Pistons brawl.
