I really have no reason to complain. Normally, I start off terribly (always under .500 through 20 games) and it takes me 50-some games before I get close to the top 24. I am always worried that I'll have to run Round 2 without having advanced myself. So having a fast start is somewhat new to me. This year, my six teams have started a combined 72-48 (.600) which is currently in a tie for 3rd overall. But I find it interesting that I don't feel very comfortable in any of my six leagues. Here's why...
70M: 12-8, second place, one game out of first, tied for a wild card spot (just broke out of an L5)
80M: 14-6, first place by one game, but in a division with teams 13-7, 12-8, 11-9 (and fatigue is starting to kill me)
90M: 8-12, last place, only 4 games out of first... my worst team, although they are playing better of late
100M: 10-10, second place, only two games back, but destined to go 81-81, as I've alternated between a win and a loss for 10 straight games now.
120M: 15-5, tied for first in my division... but at least 4 games up on wildcard
140M: 13-7, second place, three games out of first in the division, only one up in wildcard race.
So my four best teams are averaging 13.5 wins (109-win pace) but only one is in first in the division (and it's the toughest division thus far). It's entirely possible that I could average 95-97 wins per team and see only 1 or 2 playoff teams.
Like I said, I'm not complaining... just making some observations.
