Updated closer look into the schedules

We have decided to look a little deeper into the schedules to try and gauge if a team is a pretender or contender. After all, if you won all of your games and didn't beat a team with a winning record, how good would you be? On the other hand, if you won all of your games and every team on your schedule had a winning record, that would be quite impressive.

So we are going to break it down 3 different ways and you can decipher the numbers for yourself. Our first category is how many teams on your schedule have a winning percentage of 500 or better.

Strength of schedule by league as of 10/24

Everybody says that their league is the toughest so I thought I would crunch the numbers and see what league has the bragging rights. These are sorted from highest to lowest in regards to winning percentage.
