Efficiency Differential

The numerical gap between a team's offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The differential represents what each team did for the entire season and a team’s efficiency differential is a better predictor of future success.

Comments: Although efficiency differential does indicate the champion more often than just won-loss records, it?s not perfect.
