1114 the Statistical Outlier

But that skew doesn't stop with just one team here's the number of teams more than 5 and 4 SDs above the mean by year. Cumulatively, only 8 teams have ever been above 5 SD before; now we have 6 teams. And in the years with 6 teams above 4 SD, there were either 1 or 0 above 5.

I suspect that those number of teams above 4 and 5 SDs for 2015 will go down come champs when more high scoring teams start playing more matches together.

Did you use Ed Law's spreadsheets for all of these numbers?
