Wrong, CR had two perfectly timed wars, that's why they're in the drivers seat. In a no war scenario, the best setup wins which was BB's. BB had 1 war, which was poorly timed so they didn't gain anything. CR gained huge from both. BB had the least amount of wars/most amount of pumping and they're not in a great spot.
