HOUSTON — An interesting theory put forth by the man from the Midwest: The team that wins the NCAA tournament won't be the best in college basketball. Well, then, who will be, all those schools eliminated along the way?

The refrain repeated so often has basketball ahead of college football, because in basketball a champion is determined the proper way, in competition.

Oh, we keep hearing, why can't football do the same thing, have a playoff?
