Oh people would still be confused. Some people are confused how it works now. Every few weeks I will hear someone ask "If you are 6-0 in your division and 0-2 against the west are you ahead of a team that is 5-1 in the division, but 2-0 against the west?"
Another thing I hate about points systems is often times they rely on points allowed or points scored. Some offenses just have systems that allow them to score more. Also, some coaches pull starters earlier than others. Then you include OOC SOS point factors determined by a computer that uses a system 99% of fans wont understand.
Even at the height of NASCAR's popularity there was always confusion on its points system
