Right. And my point was that picking the number 6 was arbitrary.

Why not 8? or 7? or 5?

Oh ok. I chose 6 because except for your team, these 12 teams still have a chance to make the playoffs and finish anywhere from 3-6 in the Big8 and 2-5 in the Great8. It's my opinion that these 12 teams are the best 12 teams in the NBBA. That explains 6 instead of 5.

Also, in cross-conference play, I wanted to get an accurate reading of how competitive the best of the two conferences are against each other. I also wanted to get an idea of home and away performance just using the best teams playing each other.

Record, at least in the big 8, with 4 teams vying for the last 2 playoff spots. I guess the goal is to see how the potentially playoff bound teams did head to head.

That's right.

I'm fairly confident saying that our 8th place team is superior to theirs!

It's not arbitrary to pick the teams that are relevant to the playoffs.

The 8th place team argument is like saying that because there are 4 teams in the NBA's Western Confrence with less than 25 wins, but only 2 in the Eastern Confrence, that the Eastern Confrence is better than the Western.

Where's the sportwriters of the NBBA to debate this for us? Maybe we can get the sports guy to do a special playoff preview.

I'd use this as an opportunity to pimp my blog, but I'm not that shallow.

You're not shallow enough to pimp or you're not shallow enough to have a blog?

Nah, it's totally against forum rules.
