It happens but not very often. Hell I'd argue that the NFL doesn't give you the two best teams in the Final.
MLB and the NBA, having best of series, IMO are the best way to get a true champion.
In all honesty the BCS does a pretty damn good job of giving us the 2 best teams over a 4 month stretch.

Shhhhh......
If you say that, the folks that are still outraged that OSU didn't get a shot will string you up.
I like the playoff format to a degree, but I don't like that there are 64 teams in it. Give me a 16 team tournament to decide the championship, maybe even a double-elimination tourny.
So you'll miss out on some upsets - so? With that short 3pt line, even the upsets have almost become cliche at this point. All the upsets really serve to do is make for shittier basketball once the Sweet 16 rolls around.
I'm a large conference snob; always have been. I don't care about mid-majors and I'm beyond tired of listening to Boise St fans bitch (though I think TCU had a legit gripe 3 years ago; that team was legit...though probably high). Championships really should be about figuring out who the best team all season was. The BCS does a far better job of figuring that out than the NCAA tournament does. I believe it's Wicklock that says CFB isn't a real sport because it doesn't have a playoff system, but CFB has been far more reliable in getting their champion right over the last 10-15 years than the MCBB has been.
