A bit over four years ago, I took a look at each franchise's last 5/10/25/50/100 regular season games. Let's do it again. Fortuitously, it's now been exactly 100 regular season contests during the modern era of the CKL. These numbers will take us back to the beginning of the 2011 CKL season, when the league officially expanded from 12 to 14 teams, and Norris Bunn and Patrick Adair (who has since given up his team to Heath Oderman) joined the league. Other ownership changes that occurred in this time period include:
- Founding Father Derrick Fleming retiring with defending champ Ryan Waters taking over.
- Two-time Cup winner Mark Fulton heading for hops and suds, allowing for Gridiron3 legend Corey Marquardt to join the league.
- Founding Father Alan Wilbur giving up the ghost after a downturn in outcomes, allowing Yado's Arabs, abs, and Jameson to be a part of our annual gathering.
Get ready for TABLES TABLES TABLES! And remember: this only reflects regular season games. Postseason performance is not included
Last 5 Games
- Kendall's and Ben's recent hot streaks are reflected here.
- Mildly surprising to see Paul down at the bottom.
- Corey? Not so much.
Last 10 Games
- Kendall, Joe, Yado, and Ben lead the way. Sounds right.
- Kirk's uninspiring luck has him down with Russ, Heath, Nathan, Rookie, and Corey.
- CKL's recent middle-class: Norris, Ryan, Paul, and Chad.
Last 25 Games
- This goes back far enough to where we had other owners in the league. This represents the end of the 2017 season, the entire 2018 season, and the current season to date.
- Same names at the top, although Norris and Ryan/Derrick join the kool kids klub.
- Kirk, Nathan, and Corey/Mark taking (it) up the rear. Ouch.
Last 50 Games
- We're getting to the point where we're starting to show sustained patterns of success or failure.
- Joe and the Ryan/Derrick combo lead the way.
- Heath/Patrick and Corey/Mark at the bottom. I can see why these teams have changed hands recently.
Last 100 Games
- It should surprise absolutely no one to see Kendall dominate this table. He's nine games clear of the closest owner.
- The modern Cup winners are first, tied third, tied seventh, sixth, tied seventh, twelfth, and tied third in this chart. Sustained success is a decent barometer of ability to win the CKL Championship, but it's possible to get hot at the right time and put your name on the hardware.
- Notably, Joe is Cupless in this period, despite being the second best regular season squad. And Russ won it all in 2016 while otherwise being below average.

Week 9 Numbers
All-Play
- Ben is the first one to clear 1,000 points and continues to dominate the table. He's nearly a full week clear of the rest of the league.
- Rookie currently appears to be the best squad not in the playoff field. Guess his recent smack board bravado isn't unwarranted.
- Despite their low standing on the table, both Chad and Heath have some explosiveness, as evidenced by their standard deviation marks.
Points Scored
Luck
- This table is so damn absurd. The absolute value of luck went up in a big way, yet again.
- Kendall, Joe, Rookie, and Kirk all have historic numbers at this point of the season. I don't think all four can make the 'offs.
- True Blue candidates are Paul, Norris, and Russ.
Luck Chart
Hotness
- Norris up there with Ben. Interesting.
- Corey and Nathan don't have much to show for their recent run of points.
- Ryan starting to worry?
Jenna
- Kirk continues to satisfy. But is he starting to cramp?
- Norris and Rookie are in position to make a move.
- It's probably too late for Corey, Chad, Heath, and Russ.
Playoff Seeding History
- No major changes, yet again.
- Paul continues to slip after three weeks as the number one seed earlier in the season.
- Chad's long, hard slog upward continues. It's something to watch.
Playoff Seeding History Chart
- The only note I have here is about a change between the two halves of the league. Norris and Paul pulled off that dosey doe.
