Before the season began, I predicted every team’s record for the first seven games. I correctly predicted ten teams’ results (half of which were in the Carrie A. Nation division). Below you can see how well your team fared against my presumptions. The largest differential between prediction and actual result, surprise, just as wildcard Cody said, was the Bad News Bagels.
If the formatting sucks, I apologize. It looks all right on Chrome.

Below are the top five teams in several categories. I then gave each team a value depending on their ranking (5 points for first place, 4 for second, u.s.w.) and totaled them among the four categories. An incredibly non-scientific way of ranking teams, but a method by which I think does accurately represent the top teams in the league—by the numbers, of course.
