I've heard just about enough about the Final Four, the MLB and NFL playoffs, Olympic Hockey, the WBC, and most every champion-crowning tournament in pro or college sports not necessarily identifying the best team.
Really? You mean the best team might not win a single-elimination tournament every time? They might not win in a best-of-three/five/seven series? You've got to be kidding me? Right?
Uh, nope. And there's NOTHING wrong with it either.
Florida (not Duke) wins the NCAA Hoops tourney. Good for them.
Japan (not the US) wins the WBC. Fine.
Pittsburgh, a six-seed, (not the Colts) wins the Super Bowl. So what.
Someone (not Canada, Russia) won the Olympic Hockey tournament. Who cares.
Here is an interesting article about crowning the 'best' team vs. crowning a 'champion'. Well done.
