Cowboys and the Steelers is not a relevant comparison to college hoops. Again, I point to 1998 vs 1999 Utah as the best example of why tournament wins are such an important metric. The clearly superior Utah team is forever viewed as the inferior team because of tournament performance.
So BYU has been clearly superior to Utah the last decade yet they will forever be viewed as inferior to Utah because of the tourney performance? Is that what you're saying?
