You are still basing your ideas on subjective opinionated rankings by saying "we all know so and so was/is better "

if Rutgers beats LSU in one game thats tough shit for LSU . It means Rutgers was better for that game and thats all that matters in sports.
You are only as good as your last game.
Look, I'm not crazy. I fully realize that games aren't played on paper and "that's why you play the games" and all that. I'm just saying, it's not like questions and doubts won't exist because all of a sudden just because their's a playoff.

(I don't follow NHL hockey so their may be some inaccuracies in what I'm about to say) Take the LA Kings for example, the 8th best team in the west. Now, their trophy is well deserved because apparently, they beat the top 3 teams in the west to reach the Finals and beat the Devils but are they the best? They didn't get to play the Penguins, the Flyers, the Rangers, the Capitals, etc. they may have avoided every team capable of beating them just because somebody else played them instead.
