Wannabe makes a valid point, but what would be interesting is how this season compares to past seasons. For instance if you look at the point percentage stat iirc around 0.75 or so tends to put a team top or in a battle for top spot. The gap between 1st and 2nd is huge this year.
I feel that the disparity has spoilt things. There's been very little to play for, other than the Micky mouse playoffs, for a while.
