A league as good as the Race for Second Place deserves a fun pre-season report! What follows is a look at how the league has evolved over the years, how each manager has fared, and other fun stuff to look back on. This is the first season that Lester and Jon have historical data, so they have replaced Seth and the Emmerts in the following charts. I hope you all enjoy looking at the various tables and charts Jeff and I put together, and please suggest other cool stuff we could add next year!

Who is in the League?

Manager History

Here’s a timeline of the managers in this league since the first season in 2011. The competition has been strong since I joined in 2015, and it got even tougher with the additions of Lester and Jon last season!

Where Does Everyone Live?

This league started out mostly in the Mid-Atlantic region but has slowly expanded west. We’re located in a combined 7 states + DC, and are just missing a presence in the Mountain time zone.

League History

Historical Standings

Use this table to look back on the standings going back to the 2011 season! You can type in “Current” in the search bar to view the current members of the league. If you scroll to the right you’ll see everyone’s average finish overall and over the last 3 seasons, as well as the percentage of seasons making the playoffs. Three teams sit at 2 championships - will this season give us a new champion or a team earning their third? Time will tell.

Matchup Archive

I’m sure the historical standings table has brought back some memories of past seasons. Check out the matchup archive below and use the top-row filters to view individual matchups within any season of your choosing. You can also search for matchups against a specific opponent. The Total Wins column indicates how many teams you would have beaten in that week if you had played everyone.

Individual Manager Stats

Click on your name (or any other manager in the league) to see how you’ve stacked up over the years. The Actual Matchups chart shows the winning percentage and number of matchups against all other managers, while the Every Week Matchups chart shows what your winning percentage would be if you faced each manager each week. You can compare these two charts to see who you’ve been lucky or unlucky against over the years. The Score Distributions chart shows the distribution of scores each season. It clearly displays those high weeks where everyone scored touchdowns and those forgettable weeks where nothing went right. The Highs and Lows tab breaks down everyone’s highest and lowest scores, biggest victory and worst defeat, and closest matchups. It also shows everyone’s best and worst finishes in the standings.

Some Fun Stuff

Keeper History

This became a keeper league in 2014, and personally I think it’s fascinating to look back at some of the players that were kept. Use the search function to search by manager (to see specific manager selections) or players (to see which guys have jumped around over the years).

Team Names

Check out the archive of team names! Which ones still hold up, and which ones would you prefer not to be reminded of? How many Archer references can you count?
