Clearly this means that LMA is more deserving of an AS bid than ZBO? At least, that's what the resident Admin says, right?

That was a joke, but I can calculate this much. Tonight, the expected wins for Chicago were adjusted down .6, and they went up for us by .4.

Other considerations must have played a part, namely: The day's performance of remaining opponents of Portland and Chicago changed the remaining Strength of Schedule for Portland and Chicago.
