What is the most losses a 12 team playoff team should have?  Presume they play a really tough slate and are competitive.  Four?  Sounds too many.

(Not including conference champs.)

I marvel at how many significant figures play into this.

Huh. Today I learned that Royal Dutch Shell is now just Shell, and is no longer Dutch. Fascinating.

Any number of losses is acceptable when you reward mediocrity, either 4-losses vs a tough slate or 2 vs a joke schedule.

The flood gates are open.

We really liked Copenhagen, but livability is such a qualitative term.   We can certainly live here a LOT cheaper with a LOT more floor space.  It depends on what counts for you obviously and how you may rank each factor.

Yeah plus they have winter in Copenhagen, so its livability is zero for me.

Winter in Copenhagen is surprisingly mild, I recall average low T in January is -1°C.

This might be mild by Minnesota standards, I have no idea, nor do I wish to ever have an idea.  It's certainly not mild by my standards.

January is the coldest month, with average highs around 52°F and lows near 34°F. July is the warmest month, with average highs around 89°F and lows around 71°F. 

The above is Atlanta, so for me, Copenhagen would be about the same, colder during the day for sure, but better than Cincinnati.
