As any Bama fan can attest, championships are "in the eye of the beholder". (AU provided championship rings for the year they went undefeated - and uninvited - to the BCS NC game.)

I'm not sure, but I think we did also in 2011.

To me the regular season championship is a greater accomplishment than winning the conference championship. To be regular season champions, you have to have sustained excellence. To win the conference championship, you have to get hot for a few days (and maybe have home court advantage.)

RE: La Tech made conference championship rings?
That's fine. Let them crow about the regular season title and even hang a banner if it suits them. Winning a regular season title is absolutely to be celebrated. We celebrated when we did it.

With the format the way it is, they get to claim a conference championship, we get to claim a conference championship, and neither of us is wrong.

I'd still rather win the one that sends me dancing, though, and I bet an honest Tech fan would, too.

I would rather the regular season champions be the one that got the automatic bid, but college basketball has to justify the conference tourneys,
other than a reason to make money.

Our team got rings the year under Anderson when the regular season ended in like a four way tie. It's ok, it does not change the result of the conference tournament or who went to the NCAA.

It's too bad being a regular season champ doesn't really account for much more than bragging rights if you don't win the conference tournament or get an at large bid. A team able to accomplish a feat like that deserves to be in the tournament, but I really feel like the tournaments are more central to college basketball and having those automatic bids for grabs makes things a whole lot more interesting.

Maybe if your RPI doesn't blow chunks a regular season conference championship will propel you to the NCAA tournament.
