Week 10 Numbers

All Play

Notes:

• Its tight at the top. Any of six teams, heck maybe even eight, could still take this thing.
• Blue is a full 60 games better than Orange. 60!
• After my disastrous Week 10 performance, Chad takes over the lead in the "Highest Low" category. 79.9 as a low score is pretty darn good. Considering he is tied at the top of this thing, its pretty clear (and has been for a while) that Chad is a serious threat for the Cup.
• Conversely, the "Lowest High" is currently a three team race of Mark (106.3), Alan (106.6) and Rookie (106.8).

Luck Index

Notes:

• Kirk, yet again, reaching historic levels of bad luck. If it weren't for the Heels, Joe would be at the bottom. Again. We need to mail him a rabbit's foot or something.
• The total cumulative luck index for the six current playoff teams is 2.0. If we were operating under last year's rules, where Norris would be in and Kirk would be out, that number would shoot up to 6.1. The rule is doing exactly what it was intended to do: de-emphasize the role of luck for making the playoffs. Its a good rule. Granted, it sucks for whoever would've been the sixth seed under the previous rules.
• Eight lucky teams compared to six unlucky teams. Kirk and Joe are so unlucky they're shifting the balance of luck's power over the entire league.

The Hotness

Notes:

• Didn't even have to change my first note from last week: "Yep. Chad has to be the favorite right now."

• Pink jumps up the list and the Penguins fall. In and out of the playoff field they dance.

• Top five on this list are currently in the playoffs. Joe and Mark have been hotter than Kendall of late, but that isn't really helping their chances.

Jenna Von Oÿ

Notes:

• Second place in the race for the sixth spot is closer than last week, but that's mostly because it was Norris swapping in for Kendall. 
• Joe falls back further.
• At this point, Joe and Norris just have to hope Kirk trips up the last three weeks of the season. Unfortunately, hope is not a plan.
