Sure, let's hear them. Wins are how playoff teams are measured, so if a team didn't win enough it's possible they tanked. The formula should remove teams that would be reviewed and determined their record is what it is because of their division. Take Tampa Bay and Oakland last season. Both won 56 games, but Tampa Bay was clearly in the tougher division.
