    No but you explained it well. I agree and thought about this at the end of the season.

    The real issue is math....a 30-team league with a 16-team playoff; mathematically, you'll always have at least one team with a losing record making the playoffs.

    Not sure if that's true. If you have 14 really bad teams I would think the 16th seed could break even or be a game or two above .500

    You're right, according to basketball-reference.com, its happened several times since the expansion to 30 teams.
