Were we the ones arguing about that? haha, but yeah, it's a crapshoot. You got better odds of hittin the trifecta on the Kentucky Derby than the Final 4. There's only a handful of years in the past 20 that I can say the best team won it.


Nah, sorry man. Just used your post as an opportunity.

Your national champions: Louisville

Definitely, would've said them or MSU when fully healthy were the best teams. Didn't happen.

Yea absolutely ponyboy. The NCAA tourney is fun to watch but not a great way of crowning the best team in college hoops. That's where football has a huge advantage, despite everyone's complaints with the bcs etc.

I'm a fan of 4-team playoff, no more. The top team in the nation is undoubtedly within the top 4 of the BCS. If it's outside the top 4, then there is a major f***ing issue with our rankings.

I'm in the 4 team bucket, too. Screw the team sitting at #5...unless it's a team I cheer for, of course!!

I wish they'd keep the BCS standings to determine the top 4. I don't want human bias involved and agendas. Has there been a year you thought the best team wasn't top 4 in the BCS? I can't think of a time, I just see a school getting screwed, most likely a small school that went undefeated.
