Any chance we could get similar data by 1st Round Pick? ie:

LT - 0 teams
AD - 5 teams
Westbrook - 1 team


etc. Sorry Greg, I was in New York all this week. Yes, remind me to do this again next week and I'll do it. I last did this on Oct. 10th and those results are on page 2 of this thread, but I'll do it again and then of course analyze this after Week 13 when we have the playoff teams determined. It's all interesting data this year, but it's amazing how balanced each draft spot and each league is this year. It's anyone's game this year.

The numbers will be interesting.

I saw that one of the WCOFF members posted the champions from their contest and where they drafted from. WCOFF is a 12-team contest that doesn't use 3RR and it looks like winners came from different spots as well. I'll post this unofficial list here just as comparison to some of the data we have above as it's interesting reading:

1 14
2 8
3 12
4 12
5 10
6 10
7 8
8 8
9 7
10 11
11 11
12 8

Spots 1-3: 34
Spots 4-6: 32
Spots 7-9: 23
Spots 10-12: 30

** 13 of 14 spots are represented in the Top 31. Eight of the Top 9 teams all come from different draft spots (8,5,13,8,1,2,7,14,10). The top team from spot No. 9 -- the only spot not represented in the Top 31 -- is ranked 73rd overall.

** There were no undefeated teams in the NFFC Classic this year. The only 12-1 team was the RapTors in Las Vegas League 1 as it finished 88th overall in total points. Rick Thomas joins a select group in NFFC history with a 12-1 record, the best record ever posted in the NFFC Classic.

** The No. 2 spot leads the way with five teams in the Top 31.

* Todd Ullman won the regular season points title, drafting from the eighth spot in Las Vegas League 3.

** Three of the top five teams drafted from the No. 1 spot and only five spots were represented in the Top 10 after 12 previous weeks of great parity. Only 9 of 12 spots are represented in the Top 25, with No. 3, 8 and 9 not being represented. The Top No. 8 team finished 26th overall, the top No. 9 team finished 32nd and the top No. 3 team finished 47th. Very interesting finish after having at least 11 teams in the Top 25 most of the season.

** The No. 12 spot led the way with five teams in the Top 25, up from just two after Week 12.

** There were no undefeated teams in the NFFC Primetime main event, but Randy Barbour and his LATHAM team set an NFFC Primetime record with a 12-1 record from Las Vegas League 4.

** Pete Lukowicz won the NFFC Primetime regular season points title, drafting from the No. 1 spot in LV 4.
