Won loss records are not subjective. In fact that is exactly what is being used in this analysis. If a team wins a division with 7 or 8 wins then that is a weak division.

Apology accepted. But the question is "Is the difference between a 7-9 team and an 11-5 team worth THREE TIMES as much as the difference between a 9-7 team and an 11-5 team?

So in your opinion there is no value to making the playoffs? Seems kind of silly to me.
Also claiming that a 10-6 division champion (15 points) is THREE TIMES BETTER than a 11-5 wildcard team (5 points) makes no sense to me.
