Based on this 0-point, it is then scaled so that the top teams usually get an aWAR of around 7 (12-0 record... 7 Wins Above Replacement). A team that has an aWAR of about 4 probably went about 9-3 at the regional/district level.

Unless I'm mistaken, couldn't the aWAR of 4 be a 4-8 team that won Chairmans award, though? I'd be curious to see the rankings based only on on-field preformance.
