If you define the "best team" as the team that wins the championship, I cannot argue that UConn wasn't the best team. I think that definition is asinine, however. The NCAA tournament winner is a fluke. Sure, the best team has a better chance to win it than any other team, but if you give me the field vs. the best team in a given year, I'm taking the field every time.

I think a better definition of "best team" is a team that would have the best record in a hypothetical tournament in which every team plays every other team a few times each. Of course, there is a hopelessness to that definition because of how unrealistic the hypothetical is, but are there really any reasonable people who would argue that UConn was the best team at the end of that season based on my proposed definition? Reasonable people can probably disagree where any of the top 10-15 teams from that year might land, but I contend that no one would put UConn at number 1.
