Is the champion the best team?February 11, 2013 4:03 pm
1983--NC State (26-10) d. Houston (31-3)It's interesting that all those games except for one happened in the 80's. Which is odd because there is much more parity today than there was in the 80's. |

While that is true, remember that we are only a few years removed from an all number one ff. The parity today is so huge though, you would think that it would be more common, but even with butlers and vcus of the world, the top seeds still manage to rise to the top at the end of the day.

Were the Ravens the best team? It's always subjective and everyone can have differing opinions who the "best team" is, but can't we expect the "best team" to show up at the most important time? It's the same in all of sports. A successful regular season gives you a shot at playing for the championship, records are 0-0 come tourney time and may the best team win.

I honestly think this year might be a year where a lower seed wins the tournament. I think it's going to be a wide open tournament this year..............more than most years.

records are 0-0 come tourney time and may the best team win.That's a very romantic notion that CBS and the NCAA sell every March and if you buy into it that's fine, but I'm not going to ignore the thousands of games that happened every year, prior to the tournament. The NBA has a similarly silly sales pitch for their playoffs... "Win or go home!" (realistically it's "Win or play another game, then go home... and play two more games, and as long as you won at least one of those you aren't really going home.") |
