[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 566950, member: 1803"] and looking at team by team: Good guys: Place wise, GT has finished better than expected 3 times, as expected twice, and worse once. Exceed win expectations four times, and underachieved twice. Third is the most common spot. Which given GTs consistency in 4 and 5 win divisional records, shouldnt really be a surprise. 4th most wins since realignment @ 25.
