Kind of like what I did with BtB, I made a list of the teams and their draft order in each of the FF divisions. The idea is that the better teams will go higher in the drafts, overall, but occasionally, a division will overlook a team, and somebody will get a steal, by drafting a good team quite a bit later then everyone else, or make a bad pick, by overlooking several good teams to draft one lower on the list.
Now, someone might say that if they know a team will do very well, it makes sense to draft it early (a bad pick, as classified above). However, in that case, you should have traded down and gotten a better pick elsewhere, knowing that team would be availible later, so it’s still a “bad” pick.
Anyway, the best teams, based on average draft positions are
71
469
45
571
33
494
980
27
47
222
The full list is in the team popularity tab of the spreadsheet. Personally, those would be my top 10 teams, also, not exactly in that order, but close.
The people who made the best single picks (by drafting a team later then they should have gone:
The difference shows how many spots later the person got the team then average.
Best Picks Team Difference Division
Andy Baker 234 13 Division 3
David Hoff 461 11 Division 2
David Hoff 65 10 Division 2
boodah 1272 10 Division 1
Pitt Bull 1126 447 8 Division 2
Joel J. 292 8 Division 3
Ryan Dognaux 47 7 Division 1
Joe Ross 107 7 Division 3
Amanda Morrison 868 6 Division 1
Jessica Boucher 240 6 Division 1
jgannon 808 6 Division 1
Matt Shea 378 6 Division 2
Joel J. 93 6 Division 3
JVN 217 6 Division 3
And the people who made the worst single team picks
Worst Picks
Andy Grady 65 -11 Division 3
Chris 447 -10 Division 3
Steve Horn 47 -8 Division 2
diobsidian 240 -8 Division 2
JVN 48 -8 Division 3
jgannon 1038 -7 Division 1
crazykid234 234 -7 Division 2
MATT_kaplan108 1083 -7 Division 2
811SmallFry 716 -6 Division 1
811SmallFry 1243 -6 Division 1
HHSJosh 1272 -6 Division 3
And the people who made the best and worst picks for all three teams:
Best Picker Difference Division
David Hoff 23 Division 2
Pitt Bull 1126 14 Division 2
Ryan Dognaux 14 Division 1
Joel J. 13 Division 3
Andy Baker 10 Division 3
Worst Picker
Andy Grady -19 Division 3
crazykid245 -16 Division 2
811SmallFry -13 Division 1
Chris -12 Division 3
diobsidian -11 Division 2
Finally, I used the sum of all three picks to figure out who is most likely to win each division. The person who made the best picks in a division but with poor draft position may still get beaten by somebody with slightly worse picks, but better draft position.
Most Likely to win Division 1
punkrawker303 64
Ryan Dognaux 64
boodah 65
HHSJosh 66
Most Likely to win Division 2
David Hoff 44
Most Likely to win Division 3
Joel J. 29
All of that information is contained for everyone on the person tab of the attached spreadsheet.
Anyway, I had fun making that up, I hope somebody else has fun looking at it. We’ll see how it all plays out at IRI.

I didn’t think I did that well this time around… apparently I was wrong :]
