None of the things you mentioned had anything to do with that. The selection is based on past performance not what future performance might be.

My dude weren't you defending the 2017 A*stros?

I said that the problem is uneven schedules, teams with a weak schedule are favored and get a high ranking because they are "undefeated" while much better teams with a much tougher schedule are never considered because they finish 7-4 or 6-5 even though they are 10 times better than the undefeated team in the top 10. Until there is a way to adjust for strength of schedule, the rankings are largely meaningless.

It's not perfect but rankings do take strength of schedule into account
