Power rankings

Before the draft there are no rosters, so every rating is each manager's record over the life of the league, expressed as an edge over the league average of 105.8 points a week. Ratings follow the person, not the team name.

From the record books

Adam Pottinger is 12-2 in playoff games since 2021, with three titles and a final in five seasons, and is the only manager in league history to win back-to-back titles (2024, 2025).
The 2025 final was decided by 0.92 points: Dynasty Confirmed 129.72, Segal 128.80. The closest championship game ever played here. The 2021 final (Agins 80, Pottinger 77) is second.
Potsie's last two titles came with the 6th-best points in the league both years. Team Cherno out-scored him in each of the last three regular seasons and has no final to show for it.
The #1 seed has won the title only 5 times in 15 seasons. Ten of fifteen champions were seeded 3rd or worse, including three from the 7 or 8 seed: Goldberg 2015, Cohan 2017, Ward 2023.
The last-place team has won the championship the very next year three times, most recently Colin Ward (last in 2022, champion in 2023). Last-place teams have finished top-4 the next year in 6 of 8 tries.
2023 Team Cherno: 5-9 and 12th place with the 2nd-most points in the league. The next year: 12-2, #1 in points, top seed, and a semifinal loss.
Alex Cohan is 0-3 against Pottinger in the playoffs and won his only title in 2017 as the 8 seed with a 5-6 record and the 9th-ranked points.
Sam P is 1-6 all-time in playoff games and lost as the 2023 top seed (11-3) in the first round, 94.28 to 165.14, the highest score Cohan has ever posted.
Billy Agins has made the playoffs in 9 of 10 seasons and lost in the first round four straight years (2022-2025), the last one 81.2 to 153.86 against Team Cherno.
Martin Goldberg has the most wins (102) and most seasons (15) in league history, three titles, and won the 2013 final 169 to 47, the most lopsided playoff game ever played here.
Cole Woodson's 2018 title run outscored opponents 388 to 233 across three games and ended with a 137-55 final, the most lopsided championship game in league history.
Brandon Lieb's 2016 championship run started with a 98-98 quarterfinal tie that he advanced from on tiebreak, one year after finishing dead last.
Charlie Chernawsky's 189 points in the 2014 championship game is the highest playoff score in league history. The highest regular-season score is 193 by Agins in week 7 of 2017.
Year-to-year persistence in this league is close to zero: a manager's scoring one season barely predicts the next, and the preseason top-rated manager has won the title once in the last twelve years.
