1st, 3rd, 8th, 10th, 15th.

World 5, Midwest division is going to be hell.

I think this is the first time my divisions haven’t been on nightmare mode. Just a little worried about W1 (my 5th best team) getting a tough draw.

Thanks for organizing all of this, DH. Thanks for the division math, Rob. Thanks for great analysis, Chewy.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th.........this is awful.

I’ve had a top 5 hardest schedule for the last four Savages iirc, I’ve been in the hardest ODL division for the last couple ODLs, I gotten rocked on BOWIS divisions and this current Savage schedule is also no joke for me… so brother, I feel your pain.

Pray for my world 4 and 5 teams. 1st and 2nd!

My SoS always looks pretty easy. I assume that has much to do with the fact that each of my teams has jhsukow in the division.

I feel like I've generally had favorable projected division draws but at 2, 4, 5, 9, and 10 I am not feeling the love this season.

2,3,9,12,15 which must be pretty difficult considering it includes my wins lol.

Preseason outlook, not knowing who put their good teams where and just going off of historic coach performances, this is what SoS looks like:

Rank	coach
1	ncmusician_7
2	raggedclaws
3	jkaye24
4	amerk1180
5	mptrey
6	steelers821

8	ashamael
9	dh555
10	pbandj
11	robusk
12	24kpyrite
13	gerryred
14	jethroeg
15	edsortails
16	chewy3344
17	benhoidal
18	20ks
19	jhsukow
20	jpevans31
21	dBKC
22	jcred5
23	berkelon
24	Midge

Not a bad draw i guess, surprised to see me 22 as I have 3 in the top 10. But none in the top 5. A closer look though, I started looking at the div opponent and how many owners have their best finish in the top 3. World 1 div 4 is ranked 6 and has 5 total champs and another top 3. World 2 div 1 is ranked 17 and also has 5 total champs and World 5 div 4 is ranked 9^th with 2 champs and 2 top 3’s. Think I just talked myself into a tougher draw. But as always there are no cupcakes out there.

Yeah I just go by sum wins, they can get weighed down by one or two low win owners. I can look at some other ways to look at it,

W Div	Coach	Sum of AvgWins	Sum of Championships
W2, Div 1		241	20
W5, Div 3		265	18
W5, Div 4		247	17
W1, Div 4		252	16
W1, Div 3		261	15
W3, Div 4		261	14
W4, Div 3		246	13
W4, Div 4		262	13
W3, Div 2		248	12
W3, Div 1		240	12
W2, Div 2		259	11
W4, Div 1		244	10
W2, Div 3		252	10
W4, Div 2		242	10
W1, Div 2		234	10
W3, Div 3		245	8
W5, Div 2		243	7
W2, Div 4		242	5
W1, Div 1		246	5
W5, Div 1		239	4

There are no easy draws in Savage, only harder ones.

Ain't that the truth.

If I update the SoS weights to account for the additonal rubric, they come out like this:

Rank	coach
1	ncmusician_7
2	jkaye24
3	amerk1180
4	mptrey
5	steelers821
6	jethroeg
7	raggedclaws
8	dh555
9	24kpyrite
10	robusk
11	ashamael
12	ty84moss
13	jcred5
14	pbandj
15	chewy3344
16	jpevans31
17	benhoidal
18	20ks
19	edsortails
20	gerryred
21	dBKC
22	jhsukow
