I am commish so I know I am about to get asked how a team with less wins is winning the division, especially since I am the one leading the division with a 2 tie record.

I am leading my division at 6-3-2, ahead of the guy that is 7-4. How is that? I guess its because I only have 3 losses and its not by # of wins?

Does the 6-3-2 squad have more points scored on the year?

It's because you have a better winning %

It was always my understanding that a tie is essentially half a win and half a loss...so you have two half wins and that gets you to 7 wins.

My guess would be that you have the tiebreaker over him. Not sure...but interesting scenario you're in.

3 losses are less than 4. I don't think it is that simple though.
