I don't believe the current system is necessarily the best but when someone squeks into the playoffs, then wins the thing, does that prove that team is the best, especially when they didn't have to play at least 1/2 the field? One and dones are also the worst because anyone can have a "Little Giants" moment and win a game. In a one and done situation, the 2001 NBA champs would be the Philadelphia 76'ers and not the Lakers who wound up winning the next 4 games and went, like 15-1 in that playoff run or something like that. Whatever year George Mason went to the Final Four, you'll have a hard time convincing me that they were, at worst, the 4th best team in the country.

If 8-4 Rutgers beats 13-0 Alabama in a playoff game, are we really gonna say that Rutgers is better then Alabama or that they played a good game and they got lucky? Even last year in LSU/Bama I, Alabama was the better team but LSU caught all the breaks and won but when LSU/Bama II came around, Bama (the team that didn't win their conference or division) showed they they were clearly the better team.
