2009 MLS Cup playoff. Definitely not the best team. Made a great run and took home the trophy. Loads of other examples of great Cinderella runs. It's not about finding the best team, IMO. It's about having an epic postseason tournament.

Exactly this. Who cares who was “the best”? A champion is the team that *won*. If you were “better” and we beat you… 👍

Let's look at the whole college season rather than just the playoff. There is no doubt that a 24 team playoff would be
