It isn't like a #7 is a lot better then #8. They could be neck-to-neck and only a 0.0002 rating difference on a scale of 0 to 10.
That would definitely be cool. I'm not saying any team in the top ten is bad by any means either. Both Hawaii and Undertakers are top squads for the level, just saying that game planning is going on at a high level on some teams with less going on in the dot department.
I personally had a much tougher time game planning for Berlin than I did for Hawaii because Berlin has made many changes to their game plan while Hawaii's has stayed more static. Come playoff time that might become a plus for them since changes will throw people off some but as far as the regular season goes I just feel like Berlin has done a much better job with dots that are a few levels behind the league average.
Berlin has hung tough this season with dots 2-3 levels lower on offense and 4-5 levels lower on defense all of whom are season 17 dots. I don't know that LoDD, Hawaii or any of the other teams in the league could have done as well as they did under those conditions.
