They were also 8-11 vs. the Cubs last year, and the Cubs were in last place in the division. They did, however, get hot at the right time and win the games necessary in the post-season. That doesn't make them the "best team".

They do not give trophies for who the best team is. They give trophies and banners for who actually won. I will take the "The Cardinals were not the best team..." all day. Did I mention that in my life time the Cardinals have been to the World Series 5 times and won twice?
Can you say the same?

I do not care about tournaments, I care about Championships. To be ranked #1 in a bracket or get to the Final Four and come up with no hardware means little to a school that has actually won a championship. Then again it was sweet that Michigan beat the Flying Illini on the way to a national championship.
Also it feels great to be associated with the school that everyone hates because the school is successful. After all this is what sports is about right? Talking about your teams and how the other team stinks. I am not going to just take it; I am going to give it back to you. That is what I do in these situations.
