[QUOTE="2qtslow, post: 1576387, member: 747246"] It cannot matter if the missed games are easy or hard, or we would have this argument every year due to unbalanced schedules. We got a tough one last year and an easy one this year, but that should never count. Your example is realistic, but I think the answer is easier here. One team has one more win and the other has one less loss, so they are tied if we are trying to determine "games behind". The percentage is then the only way to break the tie, so the Beloved wins. Winning the head-to-head doesn't hurt, but I'd give the same answer on these records had we lost the head-to-head. [/QUOTE]
