Polling is a science and they don't just take the first 100 people they see 
on the street and draw their conclusions from that.  But if you want to draw 
conclusions from three games per team, go ahead.  I'll do so only if there is 
a significant difference in games won per league.  And even then, I won't 
make TOO much out of it.
