Yes Beats according to the stats your team is 7th best overall.

Lies, damned lies and statistics (curse you Ian for getting this quote in before me elsewhere! )!. We may have only been ranked 18th last season, but with a 10-6 record and play-off football then, I really don't think you can say we've improved this season!

a lot of your wins last year were very lucky, FGs to Gick it on the last play, perhaps your team performed better overall this year in terms of execution but was not as lucky?

Hadn't thought of it like that - perhaps you're right. Maybe next season we can combine efficiency with luck and become a force to be reckoned with!
