I want to make a simple point here:

Comparing the actual rankings from this year to some other ranking system is pointless and not at all accurate. Why? Because teams play with a strategy that will earn them their highest possible ranking in the current system. In other words, they're not playing to rank highly in your hypothetical system, they're playing to rank highly according to wins and losses.

Therefore, whatever results you calculate will be highly skewed by the fact that teams are playing toward a particular ranking system. Recaculating in another system is simply inaccurate and doesn't prove anything.
