Is it really correct to deem the winner of the NCAA Basketball Tournament a National Champion or should they only be awarded title of tournament champion? I believe that for sports outside of football, the only way to crown a true national champion would be to have a best of series for the top teams.
The NCAA tournament is set up that when a lesser team knocks out a better team in a one game series it changes the whole complexion of the tournament and don't necessarily get the best teams to play for the championship.
This is why I don't consider the winner of the tournament to be a "national champion" but should only be crowned tournament champions.
