I only included results from 2002 and forward, when the current Playoff structure seedings went into effect (4 division leaders + 2 Wild Card...previously it had been the 3 division winners + 3 Wild Cards). Would you be surprised if I told you it was a wash between the #3 and #6 seeds?
14-14.
Some other interesting tidbits in this admittedly small sample size:
- #6 seeds are 5-1 in the last 3 years.
- #6 seeds have won both games (5) as many times as they have lost both games (5); #5 seeds, on the other hand, have won both games 3 times, while whiffing on both games 5 times.
