But with the loser point its a meaningless value. 0.6 seems to be more accurate.

Well if we use 96 pts (the snek line) then .585 would be a reasonable bar.
I just think that typically, a team with a .500 win% will have a p% of about that much anyways. And .500 win% is a pretty normal bar in NA pro sports, especially baseball, basketball where W-L is the only metric

I think typically there will be around half the league at .500 - no it doesn't mean you'll have a playoff spot as divisional and conference imbalance is a thing
