Re: Idea to Balance Championship Divisions
The implication of your post, Brennan, is that the primary downside of a stacked division is an unfair advantage on Einstein. I don't think that's the main reason at all that unbalanced divisions are a bad thing. It's mainly the worse playing experience playing in an overly strong or weak division, good teams being cut from the elims because they lucked into the strongest division, etc.
Anyways, we have all of this information - anyone invested in this idea could do some programming and spit out 8 hypothetical divisions this year sorted by this algorithm, and then analyze these divisions using different metrics (OPR, etc) to see how unbalanced they are. I'd love to see this sort of analysis.
