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

You're dead wrong, spanky. We're talking single elimination playoff here.. It by NO MEANS determines the best team. If that were the case you could argue that Portsmouth or Cardiff (depending on who wins) are a better team than Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and anyone else they were magically able to upset.
