2012 Week 3 Numbers

We're three games deep, so its time to roll out some of the weekly numbers you've all come to know and love.

Quick refresher:

• the All Play table is sorted by each team's win/loss record if the CKL were set up to play every other team each week. Top is good, bottom is bad. 
• The +/- table is a representation of scheduling "luck". The score is the difference between your team's actual wins and its average wins, based on the  All Play table.The higher your +/- score, the "luckier" you are based on matchups.

Post Week 3 All Play

Notes:

• There is no argument against Norris having the best team in the league through three weeks. Highest total points, highest maximum points, and the best minimum score; BP has the early season triple crown on lock down.
• Poor Derrick. There is only one team he could've possibly defeated this season. It was last week, when he outscored Mark 71.2 to 63.8. He also has the lowest standard deviation (a proxy for explosiveness), meaning he's consistently underperforming. KAG doesn't need to regroup, they need to be blown up.
• No surprise to see the Penguins and BEAR with the top two slots. I'll have to look back to see how many other showdowns we've had between All Play #1 and #2 teams. I know it's early, but this week's contest is big (despite the injury/matchup ugliness).
• There is a pretty clear dividing line between the top six and the bottom eight. It'll be interesting to see if those top six continue on their path to the playoffs.

Plus/Minus

Notes:

• Its still early, but Kirk and Alan have had really bad luck. A collective 2.7 games under their All Play average, you'd have to think they'll both land a win soon.
• Joe has average luck so far. Karma would dictate they get on the plus side of the table for a few years.

Future Improvements

I'm kicking around some ideas to make these weekly numbers more interesting. You'll start seeing some new things shortly, but if you have anything in particular you'd like to see, let me know in the comments below.
