Phrase currecntly being used

What is the meaning of "run the table"? or "run the whole table?"

I know the term from the game of pool aka "pocket billiards".
You "run the table" when you successfully sink every ball on the table thereby giving you control on the next round or "rack up".
I hear the term used in other sports to describe one team having a good day of scoring.

Often it will be used in other sports to indicate a team (or, perhaps, individual) who can defeat all remaining opponents. "She is 6-0, and if she runs the table, will finish the season 9-0," meaning she has three more opponents she's likely to defeat. "They can make the playoffs only if they run the table."
