OKC and Houston have both been rebuilding the last 3 seasons.
The two teams will end up with the same record over those three seasons...
...if the Thunder lose every game the rest of the season and the Rockets win every game the rest of the season.
In the 12-team Playoff, the top four seeds/first-round byes are reserved for conference champs.
Clemson would be the 3 seed, Ohio State the 6 seed.
Flaw in the system.
