http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast Well interesting slightly more than 6 in 10 of the teams that have started 2-0 have made the dance. The more surprising thing to me is that 1-1 and 0-2 are the deep holes that they are, especially 1-1 only making it 40% of the time.
eh Pads eh...I dont get into that, we know with Miami these numbers mean squat.... especially this year, where as quick as they are 2-0, they can be 2-2....as the next 2 games are brutal...
in 08 miami started 0-2 and went to 11-5... Good times! <3 that season! Hopefully this one is a better one!
Nothing against Padre, but this doesn't make sense. The math I mean. After 3 games ALL teams must be either 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2. These teams either make the playoffs or they didn't. In any given year if a 2-0 team doesn't make the playoffs then a 1-1 team or an 0-2 team will make it. Someone HAS to go to the playoffs. So shouldn't the percentages all add up to 100% being that the playoffs has happened every year since 1990. Of course there could be a very small space for error for the tiny amount of times there may have been a tie in the first two games of the season. I'm no mathematician (obviously).... Just a random boring thought.
i think it depends on how many teams are 2-0, how many 1-1, how many 0-2. i would imagine 1-1 represents alot more than 33% probably closer to 65% with 2-0 and 0-2 35%? therefore he percentage of each group doesnt have to add up to 100% when combining them
Using Padre's overall #'s, 39.4% of teams made the playoffs since 1990 (240/609). That seems a bit high since 37.5% of teams typically make the playoffs, until it's factored in that we have gone from 28 to 32 teams in that time (Jags & Panthers, new-Browns, Texans). You can't simply add the %'s together since each % is using a different total of teams.
