Chances of making 2027 conference finals?
Re: Chances of making 2027 conference finals?
This is pretty speculative and will likely change over summer / early fall.
Too soon for me to guess about the title, but conference finals seem more doable and a stepping stone.
I'll probably increase chances of favorites and cutoff some of the longshots over time, but tried to open the pathway at least a little for the third tier teams. Someone might deserve it.
