Fact or Fiction? tNCAA Tournament crowns undeserving teams as champions

CBB has the best postseason of any sport. All CBB champions are deserving

I think the problem is you get these random teams that get hot for 4 games and make the final 4 that have zero business playing for a national title. Syracuse from a few years ago comes to mind. And like it or not, Loyola Chicago this year is one of those teams.

Then you have that absolute abortion when a 7 seed uconn beat 8 seed Kentucky for the national title.

Yes, the tournament gets it right almost all the time, but it’s still a poor way to crown a champion after a 30 game regular season.

The main issue is that the top few teams get no special privileges- no bye, no home court games, etc. basically no reward for a great season.

How many times has an undeserving team won the national title?

Never.

you have to win a bunch of games.

CFB crowns underserving teams who just have to win one or two games at the end and get voted in based on what?

Bullshite?

The fuq eye test...made up nonsense politics and regional bias.

CFB crowns a champion as stupid as they crown the Heisman.

That's why it will always be mythical.

The champion is by definition the best team on the night they play. They may not be the most talented, but titles aren't won on talent alone. They have to run a two week gauntlet with no margin for error. Hard to argue with a team that makes it through undefeated.

the only team since 2000 that really wasn't the best team in the country. I wouldn't take away their trophy, but they flat out weren't the best. 17/18 isn't bad. I don't see the trend changing any time soon.

The NFL has teams win the title that aren't the best, so does MLB and NHL. It doesn't really happen in the NBA.

But all of those leagues have champions who likely aren't the best teams in their leagues win at a rate higher than how often it occurs in the NCAA tournament. yet the NCAA tournament is the shitty way to decide things.

Fact but this is not a good time to make this thread. Villanova is one of the best and most deserving champions to come along in a long time.

bruh this thread is in support of the ncaa tournament and is made at a perfect time

And like it or not, Loyola Chicago this year is one of those teams

Meh, they weren't the best team, but they also weren't an at-large team that just got hot at the right time like George Mason or VCU. They got to the Final Four doing exactly what they had done all season.

They held Miami, Tennessee and K-State to 62 points each in the tournament. They gave up an average of 62.5 points per game during the regular season.

No, you have to win ten or eleven games. Four or five in the conference tournament and six in the NCAA tournament. Giving the only automatic berth to a conference tournament champion is a complete joke. A team can bust their arse for an entire season to have a great record, have one bad game against an inferior team and it knocks them out of making the tournament. For example, a 23-9 Wagner team with a 14-4 conference record lost their conference championship game to a 18-15 LIU team with a 10-8 conference record. It's ridiculous. Giving an automatic berth to a team that plays the best for four days instead of four months is one of the most illogical things in sports.

You just like crowning a champion in sports that allow you to lose and call it a mulligan.

Imagine if Loyola was told, they'd be voted into the championship game after losing to Michigan...because they passed the "eye-test?"
