EDIT: Let me be clear about this. I mean that it is the right thing to do to try to win at all costs, even if it means steamrolling the competition. It is NOT the right thing to do to tank the playoffs in the hope of getting to steamroll weak competition again next season. It is right to play all out to win, but not to try to lose in order to gain an advantage.

You provided a respectable answer, but I don't agree with it. Unfortunately, trying to explain my thinking here would go too far off-topic (but it's so tempting) and involve typing way more than I'd want to. So I'll try to stay out of this for now - until the next time I get silly and want to comment again.
