If you're interested in my method, check this post: (214659.97). Same nomenclature as last season. Distribution is roughly the same as last year, although only 2 chuck norris leagues this time.. As I said before (214659.110), these ratings are quite subjective. The nomenclature is probably more meaningful than the number.

Still, in my calculations, the title of "Toughest D.IV League" goes to IV.55.

And IV.8 has earned the title of "Easiest D.IV League".

And the random stats:
Average ranking for a Div IV team: 1033 (better than last year by 23)
Average NR, Win %, PD/Game by Conference Standings:
1st: 465, 87.4%, +23.6
2nd: 579, 75.9%, +16.4
3rd: 703, 64.7%, +10.5
4th: 875, 56.2%, +4.7
5th: 997, 45.3%, -1.3
6th: 1159, 35.6%, -7.3
7th: 1521, 23.8%, -16.8
8th: 1962, 11.1%, -29.8

AVG NR of all US Div.IV Great 8 teams: 1062
AVG NR of all US Div.IV Big 8 teams: 1003
Big 8 teams went 2086-2010 against the Great 8 this season.
