STATISTICAL CONTRAST · SOURCE-VERIFIED

The same record hides different offenses.

205.35 season points

Spread in cumulative points for among teams tied for the most wins (5). A scoring difference is not itself a verdict on luck.

01 / Source scoreboard

The twelve franchises

Editorial ordering uses wins, losses and points-for. Scoring rank is computed from all twelve cumulative totals; it is not official playoff seeding.

STAN / STATISTICAL OUTLIERS

When the standings disagree with the scoring.

INFERRED ANALYTICAL SIGNAL: Compare each team's standings position against its cumulative scoring rank. Positive gaps mean its scoring rank is better than its standings position; negative gaps mean the reverse. Neither direction, on its own, proves schedule luck.

Method: standings ordered by wins, losses and points-for; scoring rank by cumulative points-for. Ties are ordered consistently. A gap is a descriptive contrast, not a playoff prediction.

STAN / LEAGUE BASELINE

Above the field—or chasing it?

Each bar measures cumulative points-for above or below the 12-team mean of 726.03 through SF week 7. Green extends right of the centerline; muted bars extend left. This is not a measure of weekly consistency or schedule difficulty.

STAN / THE VERIFIED LUCK COURT

Actual wins versus schedule-neutral expected wins

VERIFIED & RECONCILED: Completed SF weeks 1–6, with twelve official Sleeper team scores and six matchups per week. Weekly totals and actual matchup results reconciled against the current SF standings.

What the schedule is telling us

Largest schedule deficit: Re-Caleb-rated has 1.82 fewer actual wins than its all-play baseline. This is a descriptive schedule comparison, not proof of unfairness.

Largest positive differential: The Stone Crabs has 2.00 more actual wins than the all-play baseline. This is not a statement about management quality.

INFERRED: Extremes are selected from the observed differences across all twelve franchises. The size of a difference describes outcomes under the actual schedule, not a causal attribution or a prediction.

Who delivers consistently?

VERIFIED CALCULATION: Weekly scoring standard deviation ranks teams from least to most volatile across 6 completed SF weeks. A low deviation indicates consistent scoring, not necessarily high scoring or stronger management.

Three lenses on every franchise

VERIFIED CALCULATIONS: Scoring rank shows cumulative points-for, stability rank is lower weekly standard deviation first, and schedule differential is actual minus all-play expected wins. These measures are kept separate deliberately; no unsupported power ranking is implied.

Expected wins = sum of each week's (all-play wins + half ties) divided by 11. Difference = actual wins minus expected wins.
