They were lucky last year too.

Having a lucky run coming through one of the easiest brackets with such an abysmal final performance doesn't mean you're good, just played above your head, had a few lucky breaks, and finally came back to earth. Anyone who claims they're the 2nd best team in the land is delusional. They're not even top 10.

If we were to use your arguments alone, there would be several teams equally deserving of the #2, if not more deserving.

What about a team that beat a #5, #2 and the overall #1 and only lost to the champion? (No I don't think they're 2nd best ether but more so than Butler).

What about another team that beat another #4 and a #1 and lost to UConn? They have a good argument too.

Butler was a lot better last year. They overachieved this year. There are many arguments that could be made for at least 4-5 teams that are more deserving..
