*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!
