7 of the top 8 teams are in the west. mathmatically speaking, so much for the east being better this year.

I think the press confused themselves. Everyone reasoned; there are 3 or 4 teams who could compete for the le in the East, and only 1 in the West. 3 or 4 must make the East better than 1.

It only makes the top of the East more balanced. The West may have 1 team way above the others, but the rest of the pack is much more balanced and stronger than the conference that is still the LEast.
