The tournament is not exactly "deciding the best team", it's letting the teams who earned a right to compete in the tournament battle it out to determine a champion. A "champion" doesn't equate to "best". Of course the entire debate about analyzing who was the "best" in the regular season and/or playoffs is really meaningless, and we all know the pinnacle of all competition is championship. I'm just saying that just because a team won in a given year doesn't make that team likely to win in other years or other circumstances.
Yet that 2001 team preceded 2 of the next 3 SB teams.
