Quote:Yea, the only weakness would possibly be teams stuck in the middle, safe from relegation, but not a championship contender either.  I'm not really sure the dynamics of a full season since I'm new to this, but at some point a team will be mathematically eliminated from both relegation and championship.
  With the current standings, I think the teams from 6 to 10  in the standings fit this category.  So I'm guessing mediocrity is just as lame in the Premier League as it is in NFL.  Except there is no draft to screw up by being mediocre.

 

This reminds me of the time when I was taking my Mechatronics Final Exam in College; the professor - who was a Grade A buttwipe by the way - handed out a piece of paper that showed you how many points you needed to get a Final Grade. In other words, for the 100 point Final, you may have needed 118 points to get an 'A' and -12 points to get a 'C'. These values are shockingly similar to the ones on my particular sheet.

 

What that meant was that if I aced that exam and got every single problem correct, I was going to get a 'B'. If I completely blew the exam and got nothing correct, I was going to get a 'B'.

 

I wonder how many questions were on that test...
