"Playoff Teams Only" Table

The records of each playoff team in 2010, only considering games against one another:



GP W L D Pts GF GA GD
1 Los Angeles 14 9 4 1 28 22 13 9
2 Real Salt Lake 14 5 3 6 21 15 10 5
3 New York 14 5 6 3 18 14 17 -3
4 Colorado 14 4 5 5 17 16 18 -2
5 Seattle 14 4 5 5 17 15 17 -2
6 San Jose 14 4 5 5 17 11 13 -2
7 Columbus 14 4 5 5 17 15 19 -4
8 Dallas 14 2 4 8 14 16 17 -1

Makes LA look really good, no? Due to their recent lack of outstanding play, they seem to be getting less respect than RSL in playoff predictions. Bruce Arena really has done quite a good job with the Galaxy; they have the 7th best record over two seasons for 2009-2010.

Meanwhile, all those draws don't keep FC Dallas out of the bottom spot. Only 2 wins in 14 tries against their playoff competition.

SJ seems to have problems scoring against the top teams. They were shut out 8 times in these 14 games.

Interesting!! Anything for previous seasons? Could be a good indicator for playoffs...

I haven't done it for each season yet. But it might be hard to compare since in previous years there wasn't a balanced schedule.
