Ignorant presumption without proof! Plus a vain attempt to make their own division seem harder and thus their team be that much better.
And while non-playoff post season games are about as meaningless as pre-season games, lets look at how the top teams that are out of the playoffs from each division did...
#2 Texas Lone Stars lost to #7 Porto Alegre PBR Farmers 21-20.
*I would expect a #2 seed to easily beat a #7 seed, but that didn't happen here.
#3 L.A. Halos beat #8 Pink Toothbrush 35-19.
*I would expect a #3 seed to stomp a #8 seed, but this score was a little closer than that.
#4 Village Dogs beat #3 Great Songs 57-0.
*VD showed clear superiority here.
#5 Doinitin Djibouti beat #5 Helsinki Coyotes 24-20.
*close game as expected.
#7 Mayan Prophecy 2012 lost to #4 Czech Yourself 31-6.
*about what I would expect for a #4 vs #7.
#8 World Legends beat #6 Cap Horn Nemesis 62-9.
*WL showed their clear superiority here.
While I doubt all these teams even tried, most of these games showed the the teams in the West can hang with the teams in the East. I do think there is a slight advantage in the East for their #5-#8 teams vs the same ranked teams in the West, but other than that, the two conferences are pretty even.
