In a playoff system, this is correct. Over 30 games last season DC United were the best team. That guy can't argue that point.

I will anyway. In your scenario, a team is given no credit for tourney play. You can't just stop counting when the regualer season ends because it's not over. Sure DC had 3 more regular season points than Houston. But, DC didn't win any games after that, and Houston won 3 more. Does Houston get no credit for that? Is DC not penalized for tanking in the playoffs???
Hypothetically, let assign points for playoff performance.
Houston goes from 52 to 61
DC United goes from 55 to 56
New England goes from 43 to 50
Chivas USA goes from 53 to 54
