I don't know about "all Cub fans"; all I said was the best team did not win the World Series. I base this on the fact that the Cardinals won 83 games in the regular season, which is the lowest regular-season win total ever for a World Series winner. 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".

No Appl. State is not ranked in the same rankings available to Michigan; they cannot be ranked, because they are too small a school. Likewise, Michigan cannot be ranked in the same rankings as Appl. State. Apples and kumquats.

Using your logic, the U of I has been in way more championship games this century than the U of M. They have also been in the tournament more times. But, I believe as a wise man once said, "Don't let the facts get in the way of being a Wolverine fan."
