Maybe I'm alone on this, but I thought they wrote a lot without really saying much.

Felt like fifth grade when you got assigned a side to debate.

Well put lol. But my single most pet peeve is this stupid "eye-test" crap, mostly Digger and Hubert. Just seems like a nice convenient way to put your own bias on why you think a team should get in, even though numbers say otherwise.

I agree about the eyeball test. It's worthless, unless you have the numbers to back it up. Any team can look good on a given night.
