MLS Playoff Prediction Watch

I started a thread over on BigSoccer about this, but it hasn't really drawn the attention I would like. At least not yet.

Anyway, the premise is this. MLS writers like to talk about parity. They also like to bitch about the playoff system. Except that it seems nearly every single one of them then goes on to pick the higher seed in every first-round series.

If I can find the time and recover some of the previously deleted articles from this week, I'm going to try to compile a list of how many writers actually picked an underdog. So far, I've got Glenn Davis, Ives Galatassaraycep, Andrea Canales and Jamie Trecker going four-for-four, and Luis Arroyave going three-for-four, picking the Red Bulls over DC as his lone defection.

I'm sort of fascinated by this right now, so there's a chance I might actually follow through and do the research.
