Quote:Then I suppose that if you are to be consistent with your logic, you would also have to say that the NFL in general is simplistic and inept in it's method of determining who goes to the championship game and who doesn't. I guess you would also have to say that determining who the winner of a race is by who crossed the finish line first is simplistic and inept; because after all, there may have been competitors who really were trying harder to win, who had better 'form', who were more popular, who had better style... but didn't cross the line first.
 
You may not like how teams are evaluated for who will proceed to the play off's and ultimately the SB, but that's the way it is. Your assertion that the methodology of relying on the end of season record as a means of evaluation as 'simplistic and inept' only suggest that you are idealistic to the point of losing touch with reality. I would suggest that you check the contents of that cup of tea that you're sipping cause what you're saying is l u d i c r o u s !

Let me describe a simple two-player gambling game. Each player takes turn to roll a die. Each round, whoever rolls the lowest number gives $5 to whoever rolls the highest number. One die has six sides numbered 1-6. The other has twenty sides, numbered 3-22. To demonstrate the game, the two dice are rolled. The six-sided die comes up 5. The twenty-sided die comes up 4.

You would grab the six-sided die and start planning how to spend the money. I'd take the twenty-sided die and would actually win the money.

Does this help you understand why what you just posted is garbage?
