I'd go with team A and D because their impressive wins. Team C is close with that strength of schedule though.

A or D?

Team D.

I think Team D looks like a scary tournament team. 8 wins vs Q1/Q2 with a winning record there to boot, plus some really impressive high-end wins and a winning road record.

My order would go D, C, A, B. With Team B being a pretty distant 4th.

Team D

Team D

D. And if it's the team I think it is, I'm guessing it's win on Saturday evening put it over the top
