How many teams should be in the 'elite' though???
The best four teams should be in the play-offs, if teams are too far behind before the split, which leads to 'meaningless' matches after it, so be it. Wire will finish with either a 12-11 or 11-12 record - if they can make up the points difference to the top 4 in the remaining games, fair enough, if they can't, well, that's tough tits, frankly.
