Re: Poll: Should US leagues use a European league system?
Rover is correct.
For evidence, look at football standings vs baseball standings. The best football teams routinely go 13-3 (.812) or 14-2 (.875). The best baseball teams go maybe 102-60 (.629). To go .875 a baseball team would be 142-20.

Re: Poll: Should US leagues use a European league system?
Where this system could work and would be so much better than the idiocy we deal with now known as the BCS is college football. 20 or so top teams play in the the top league, top eight from the top league go into a playoff the others play in relegation bowls

For starters, you can't compare the winning percentages of the best teams directly because baseball teams have 10 times as many game and are far more likely to have a winning percentage close to their "true" winning percentage. For example, the Brewers are a .750 team over their last 16. Those lofty winning percentages are attainable, even in baseball, over small sample spaces.
