This "red zone" crap is football's equivalent to clutch hitting.  While 
the play there is certainly important, there is no indication that it is 
any more a reflection of play throughout the entire field, with normal 
variation.

IOW, there is no reason to think that the best team in the red zone is 
any different than the best team on the other teams 20.
