Best is subjective and impossible. Wins is easy.
Seems like you're saying two things here.

1) Human polls are the dum. I think we all agree. Like I said I'd prefer if they just used computer rankings. We would know ahead of time what their criteria are and that would eliminate the unfairness and bias that's present right now. Every week I just laugh at some of the rankings in the polls. For example, LSU who lost to Kentucky is behind Oklahoma who lost to Colorado, just because LSU's loss was more recent. For another example, Hawaii is anywhere near the top 20.

2) It's better to have a "fair" system with a clear winner than a system that is likely to have the best team win. I don't agree with this at all. I put fair in quotes because I question the fairness of any system where luckboxing plays such an extreme role.

You might be right that the LOL turboment postseason isn't the reason baseball is dying. I can only tell you why I personally don't care for baseball, and the crapshoot postseason and the lack of competitive balance are the two main reasons.

And yeah I'm much more of a fan of sports as a whole than I am a fan of any one team. I don't really care about "sexy" storylines though. I was almost as happy to watch the Browns-Dolphins game yesterday as the Cowboys-Patriots game. There are so many awesome players in the NFL and NBA and I want to get the chance to watch all of them, and I think the best ones deserve to win.
