These numbers, make last year's numbers more interesting and should make this season even more insightful, because we can try to see if there is some "learning" going on in these stats. Or if the moving target each year, makes them more haphazard to read, because of the changing value of the VOCL modifier or if it was just the crazy year last year on the field that make the stats reveal just as interesting a story as the season was.

I don't have time tonight as I need to go to sleep, but an interesting comparison would be to see how your VOCL maps out vs the Pyth. Record. One compares based on a grouping of player's perceived performance over the league average while the other bases upon a team's perceived performance over the league average. I wonder if the two would map out parallel or not, and if one would provide more insight to teams that played over their head.
