With the Strength of Schedule games behind us, let’s look at which teams lead in certain stats and which one are behind on certain aspects of the game. In this article, we will list the three teams (or more if there is a lot of teams tied) that lead that category as well as the three teams (again, or more based on ties) that trailed in that category. In some categories there will be two “Bottom 3” lists, one for overall, and one only taking into account teams that have played all three games without a forfeit.
