True. But if by “the hunt” you mean competing for a play off place, we currently need to overtake 17 teams to achieve that.

Despite 12 points not seeming like all that much, with that amount of traffic, there are always going to be too many teams between 6th-23rd that benefit from other teams between those positions losing. They can’t all play the top 5 or teams below us every week.
