Would you be as adamant about this if Auburn didn't win the regular season title?

Another team might slip up and win some games they shouldn't, but that's not always the case. You're playing them all in a 6 game stretch. You're not playing top 5, 10 teams all 18 games in conference. Both are impressive, but there's a reason you don't see John Wooden type runs anymore.

I've explained my view point. As a fan of Auburn basketball and another school with a top 10-15 type program since the 80's.

Yes, as an Auburn fan sitting in the elite 8 in 2019 I was aware that losing that game would feel less satisfying than winning the 2018 Reg Championship. Making the Final Four did surpass the Reg championship but not by a ton. I have the ability to separate getting hot at the right time from a true season long accomplishment.

I also realize you might have to play chalk. Auburn did it in 2019. I also know many years you don't have to play chalk because the tourney isn't a measure of the best but most deserving in that small window of time. Sometimes the best is most deserving but not always.
