I watch the game for the random streaks and events. If the standings were immune to them, I would care much less.

I am still not convinced that Corsi has figured out how to determine a team's effectiveness. How about goal differential? It is 94% certain to predict a team's place in the standings! That is better than 69%!

When you have even a handful of teams in the league whose playbook leads to routinely bucking the Corsi predictions, I think you better go back to the drawing board.
