2012	0.427316251	0.033320186	12.82454585	8.15505E-35
This shows that data from 5 years ago is not statistically significant, and 3-4 years old is minimally significant.
If I'm interpreting your P-value results correctly, 2008 and 2010 aWARs were really bad predictors of 2013 success, while 2009 aWARs were reasonably good? From the games, that's pretty much the opposite of what I'd expect. Or am I misinterpreting your stat program's outputs?
