Just a brief note.
In transcribing my hand calculations to a spreadsheet, I discovered an error with regards to Sporting Kansas City. Somewhere along the way, I dropped some points. That has now been corrected and SKC moved from #7 to #1. Pretty sizeable error, huh! I made an edit to the original post reflecting this change.

Regardless, it's all in Excel and should be reasonably reliable going forward.
My apologies.

This makes it easy to visualize that if we lose any more than the five games mgarbowski says that we are at 42 and out of the playoffs.

Mikeylito's chart is a great complement to mine.

Was just going to post that. Only team with a tougher schedule is Chicago.

in order to be that we must have won a title and then wait 100 years + for the next one.
