[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1278995, member: 3734"] That example isn't really realistic, IMO. The bubble will consist of dozens of teams with somewhat equally crappy resumes, picking out 2 and doing head to head compares doesn't make sense. Winning games helps, sure, but impossible to say how much. Agree with that in theory, but it's also a reason why they are less important. The top teams may not be playing with the same intensity, so I think a win over them is given less weight. I think there are a lot of coaches who don't mind losing early if they are already in so that they can get their team extra rest or practice instead. [/QUOTE]
