Curious how it's looking for other leagues in regards the Conference balance. In the 13th we have a pretty noticeable bias towards the Western Conference with the top #5 or #6 teams being a match or better than the #1 in the East (5th seed in the West beat the undefeated 1st seed from the East in interleague), but head to head we hit a draw at 8-8 so the leagues are relatively balanced overall. Am interested if other leagues are seeing this imbalance at the top but averaging out throughout the 16 or is it a lot closer between the two conferences in other leagues at the top?

So, where does your leagues strength sit?

If I had to rank #16, I'd say it goes as follows:

E1
E2
W1
E3
W2
E4
E5
E6
E7
E8
W3
W4
W5
W6
W7
W8
E9
E10
E11
E12
E13
W9
E14
E15
E16
W10
W11
W12
W13
W14
W15
W16

The top has a slight bias towards East, especially on depth. The bottom is heavily weighted toward the West since they have a ton of gutted teams, and the East have none.

Getting to the playoffs in the West basically involves not being the crappiest non-gutted team. In the East, I think at least 13 of the teams, would be able to compete in the West for a playoff spot. East won the interconference games 12-4, and have won each year in the matchups, and won each of the previous two championships.

It's definitely noticeable in our league.
