*Team Win Totals

[manicmav36]

Now I know that S11 is almost in the books, but I've been sitting on this too long to put it off any longer. Lots of pictures for those of you that are into that kind of thing. Feel free to ask questions or point out any errors in the comments!




So first up is the breakdown of wins per season. A couple impressive things that I noticed right away: Orange County and Yellowknife have never had a losing season. Unfortunately, that streak will end for YK at the end of S11, but Orange County will keep that streak rolling. Baltimore has the second most consecutive non-losing seasons with 9, which will extend to 10 (and tie them for the second longest streak) at the end of S11.

Something routinely heard on discord is the strength of the ASFC vs NSFC. While an interesting discussion, depending on how you determine strength, this may or may not help. The ASFC has historically been a very difficult conference to succeed in, mainly due to the consistent success of both Baltimore and Yellowknife. In fact, the ASFC has finished the season with 3 teams having at least 7 wins each a total of 8 times. Considering that was almost impossible in S1 with only 6 teams in the league, that means the ASFC has had 3 7+ win teams almost every season. The NSFC, however, has only done so 3 times (S4-S6). The NSFC has been historically top heavy however, producing 7 of the 10 Ultimus champions.



Unsurprisingly, the 3 teams with the most consecutive non-losing seasons are numbers 1-3 in our standings. These standings may change a tad at the end of S11. Baltimore will close the gap between them and Yellowknife, but will most likely not pass them this season. New Orleans will most definitely pass Arizona and gain some ground on Baltimore. Lastly, Colorado will make a strong push to close ground on, and possibly pass, San Jose.



Above is playoff appearances broken down by seasons.



Most impressive is the 10 season streak by the Orange County Otters, thanks in part to both a well run organization, and a historically very top heavy NSFC. Yellowknife is currently second with 7, but will see Baltimore tie them at the end of S11. NOLA and Colorao will both tie Philadelphia for 4 appearance when S11 is in the books.



Ultimus appearances broken down by season. The red "1" signifies a championship.



Orange County and Baltimore are tied atop the standings, with both having the ability to take the top spot at the end of S11. NOLA has the ability to make it a 3-way tie at the top, while Colorado has the ability to make their second appearance of all-time, and their first since S1.


Below are some mildly entertaining line graphs of wins per season by team.



Arizona: Arizona was utouchable until ER was sniffed out, and the team took an obvious downward spiral from S4 to S9. That tends to happen when you lose multiple key starters. No worries, things are looking up though!



Baltimore: GM Hendrix famously ghosted the franchise during S7.



Colorado: An obvious display of when the Noble scandal happened and how losing their franchise QB crippled a franchise.



Las Vegas: Did not exist until S2, last season was S5.



New Orleans: It's worth noting that the Second Line didn't exist until S6.



Orange County: Basically a straight line. Ridiculous.



Philadelphia: Did not exist until S2. Talk about a clear arc though.



San Jose: Shockingly similar to Philadelphia



Yellowknife


The next 3 are a jumbled mess, but I thought they were interesting none-the-less.


ASFC



NSFC



EVERYONE!

This is fascinating. That Green Line staying above 7 the entire existence of the league is super impressive

You have ASFC and NSFC flipped.

Aside from that, really interesting. I can't believe Arizona has gone so long without a winning season (same as SJS). Really looking forward to changing that in S12.

Good stuff as always!

Damnit, I always do that. Thanks for the heads up, I'll get it fixed tonight.

@dropbear type /shrug in discord. that's basically your graph.

This is awesome, love it

Some high quality observations:
- lol legion
- that NOLA meteoric rise is sexy
- if NOLA makes the Ultimus they’ll tie Otters with the longest streak of Ultimus appearances with 4

I still can't get over Arizona's slow fall. After S4, they lost several high-end actives, still had two more years of winning records. After that they sold off a lot of talent, made some horrible trades...still won 5 games in S7 and S8. All of that drama and poor management did less damage than switching to a rookie QB, which took 3 seasons to recover from.

You see the same thing with SJS. In S8, they switched to Pennington and won 1 game. Then 2 the next year, then 4, clearly trending up, but then a switch to Christ (despite having two DSFL years) knocked them back down in S11.

OC has done the best with managing the QB change, but even they had their first non-winning season the first year they brought Showbiz over, and that was despite giving him an extra year in DSFL.

The only two teams to not get a worse record with a new QB are Colorado, where Applehort replaced Pierno (and both QBs going winless, but Applehort doing worse), and Philadelphia, where Falconi (after a season of prep) replaced Logan Noble.
