the standings do tell you who were the best teams that season. 

Only if you define "best" as the teams which won the most games.

The distinction is that the best team never wins all its games against even very bad teams (if they play enough games), and that a considerable amount of wins are determined by good or bad luck. 

The only way to evaluate it would be to find a time machine to go back to the start of the season and run a bunch of "simulations," but obviously we can't do that in the real world. Unless we're God.
