"Proven" doesn't mean in this context "to win in the season" but to statistically "prove" than one is better (in those stats) than the other (with a reasonably high probability).
So if A beats B 19-17 along the whole season, it doesn't prove A is better than B, because if A and were exactly equal, 19-17 could happen by chance (as heads and tails in coin tossing). But, say, 8-0 is very unlikely to be caused by chace, so while is *possible* that B recovers in the rest of the season, it is highly probable he doesn't make it.
