Some people believe that as the 2-point-win criteria was adopted in 19 (1971-1974, 1979-1987, 1989-1994) of the 36 championships, this criteria would be the fairest for ranking Brazilian teams in Campeonato Brasileiro.
Tie-breakers: 1. Highest number of wins 2. Best Goal Difference 3. Highest number of goals scored
So, according to the 2-point-win criteria, here are the current (end of 2006) standings:
