re: Does college basketball or football more accurately decide a champion?

im not sure as the answer to the question but the ncaa bball tourney does a much better job in crowning a champion than people like to give it credit for. the champion is ALWAYS a team that deserves it.
you can make a legitimate case that the best team in the country has ended up winning the tournament every year since '97. arizona '97 and kansas '88 are the only 2 teams of the last 25 years that stand out to me personally, so it's been 16 years since a "fluke" champion.
every year people act like the tourney is gonna provide some fluke, but it never does. upsets early, chalk late. the best teams win.

The best team doesn't need to win the championship. I think that's the kind of reasoning that led to the flaws in the BCS to begin with.
The top two teams are decided without playing anything resembling similar schedules. Can you really say Auburn deserves to be in over Michigan State just because they beat Alabama?
With a tournament, one team may certainly be more deserving of being there than another. But once they're there, everything is equal.

More so than a UConn team that finished 9th in their conference?
