Could you have won? Certainly. But no team beats the odds over and over again. For every time you win a game you shouldn't, you lose a game you shouldn't. Over the long haul a team that is an underdog in 6 games is not going to outperform a team that is an underdog in 3 games. You just can't build a program based on the idea of beating multiple teams that are better than you. Nobody has. It's like having a winning strategy for roulette. Yes, you might come out ahead over 10 spins, but you can't build your program based on getting multiple upsets every year. As people have pointed out, you've had your share of upset wins...but you're still where you are. You're still losing a bunch of these games. [/QUOTE]
