Its as if the NFL decided that home field advantage is unfair and decided to give 2 points to all road teams. Then, to determine how many games would be affected, you looked at scores from MLB or the NBA. I know this is an exaggeration, but I think it shows the problem with relying on data from a completely different game.

I would be interested to see data after a week of regionals of alliance's record when missing Super Cells, though.

The difference here is that the NFL would have previous years' games to look at, FIRST doesn't.

We can't afford to go with "let's look at Week 1" method, because doing so is essentially screwing over week 1. We need to fix the problem BEFORE the competitions begin, rather than tell all teams competing in week 1 that they are just the test subjects.
And the best and closest examples we have, while not exactly the same, are previous years' games.
