The Record Book

Eight seasons. Eight rings. Six men holding them.

Every title this league has ever handed out, and the six men still holding nothing. The commissioner took a year off. Consider this the make-good, with interest.

The Throne Room

Who owns what

Four records that end four arguments. Everything else in the group chat is opinion, and most of it is wrong.

Most championships
Blake
3 rings in 82 games — fewer games than anyone else in the top five. Nobody else in this league has more than one. He plays less and wins more, which is somehow worse.
Most playoff berths
Ross
6 of 8 seasons and the best win rate in league history at .566. One ring. The most decorated regular season in a league that only counts January.
Holder of the toilet bowl
Andrew
.406 across 106 games. One playoff berth. Zero top-three finishes in eight seasons. That isn't a slump, it's a personality.
Luckiest draft slot
Andre
Average pick 3.25, best in league history by a mile, converted into exactly one ring. Handed a fortune every August, returns a receipt every December.
The Ladder

All-time power rankings

Rings count eight times as much as a top-three finish — why Blake sits above a better record, and why nobody brings it up. Tap a column to re-sort and build whatever case helps you sleep.

# Manager G W L Win % Rings Top 3 Berths Power

Power Score = Win % × 100 + 8 × Rings + 1 × Top-3 Finishes + 0.5 × Playoff Berths. Ties broken by win percentage.

Blake has 82 games and three rings. Everyone else has 106 games and five rings between eleven of them. Rate over volume, unfortunately for everyone.
Ross has the best record and one title. Six berths, four top-three finishes, .566 — and a January résumé you could fit on a napkin.
Andrew has never finished top three. Not in a 12-game season, not in a 14-game season, not once in eight years. The only manager who's never even been close.
Ryan owns a ring and a .425. The only man here with jewelry and a losing record. One good October laundering six bad years.
Daniel is the best manager without a ring. Fourth all-time, .543, four playoff berths, nothing to show anybody.
Andy, Evan C. and Ryan are separated by half a power point. 52.94, 53.44, 52.95. Three grown men fighting over the exact middle of nowhere.
The Luck Meter

What the draft slot was worth

Slot rank: where their average draft pick ranks. Finish: where they actually landed all-time. Swing: the gap between the two. Negative means they wasted it.

−0.002
Correlation between average draft slot and all-time win percentage across eight seasons: essentially zero. Ryan had the second-best slot in league history and finished eleventh all-time. Jack had the worst slot anyone's had and finished sixth. Across a full season, draft position and winning have almost nothing to do with each other here.
−0.53
Fine, somebody in the group chat had a point. Nobody is playing for sixth. Run it against who has actually won a title and the number stops being a joke: r = −0.53. Champions average a 5.7 draft slot; everyone else, 7.2. Then again, Andre has the best slot in league history (3.25) and one ring, same as Brian at 7.50. A good slot buys you a shot. It has never closed the deal by itself.
The Ledger

Season by season

Eight seasons, eight best records, and a reminder that Andy peaked during the first one. 2018–2020 ran two games shorter, so the win totals aren't apples to apples — bring that up whenever it helps.

The Extremes

The best and worst things anyone has ever done here

Ninety-four team-seasons, sorted for the outliers — the peaks nobody's matched and the collapses nobody's undercut.

The Luck Ledger

Who fortune actually favors

Pythagorean expectation — Bill James's math, borrowed from baseball — computes how many games each manager's points should have won. The gap from their actual record is pure schedule luck. Closest thing fantasy football has to a lie detector.
