Ranking the Teams -- A basis for comparing all teams (TAR 1 - 33)
theschnauzers:
With all of the bouncing around in the leaderboard for the top 7 teams (and the same-placement consistency of the bottom three teams) this week, I thought I would go ahead and start the weekly mid-season tracking a week early:
--- Quote ---Jet-Cord 2.0000 4/2
Joseph-Heidi 3.5000 7/2
Jeff-Jordan 3.5000 7/2
Monique-Shawne 3.5000 7/2
Carol-Brandy 4.5000 9/2
Brent-Caite 5.5000 11/2
Steve-Allison 5.5000 11/2
Jordan-Daniel 8.0000 16/2
Louie-Michael 9.0000 18/2
Jody-Shannon 10.0000 20/2
Adrian-Dana 11.0000 11/1

It's almost like having a genuine bell curve; one team floats to the top; most teams bunch more or less in the middle, and the three bottom teams stayed in place.

And to put those numbers into perspective for leg #2
Jet & Cord would place in the same group that includes (Joe & Bill, Rob & Brennan, Shola & Doyin, Tara & Will, Rob & Amber (7), Godlewski's and Weaver's, Peter & Sarah and Oswald & Danny (AS). Only one team in this group won their season. With only 7 teams averaging a better start, they are Rob & Amber (AS), Kris & Jon, BJ & Tyler, Eric & Jeremy, Tyler & James, Ken & Tina and Tammy & Victor.
Joe & Heidi, Jordan & Jeff, Monique & Shawne would place with 12 other teams (Frank & Margarita, Flo & Zach. Ken & Gerard, Brandon & Nicole, Charla & Mirna (5), Linda & Karen, Jonathan & Victoria, Debbie & Bianca, Nick & Starr, Meghan & Cheyne, Lance & Keri, and Zev & Justin. 28 teams at this stage have a better record. 3 teams at this stage won their season.
Carol & Brandy have the same record at this point as Heather & Eve, Kelly & Jon, Millie & Chuck, Bob & Joyce, Marshall & Lance, Gaghan & Schroader families, Joseph & Monica, Wanda & Desiree, Dustin & Kandice (10), Shana & Jennifer, TK & Rachel. Only one team with this average won their season.
Brent & Caite and Steve & Allie have the record as Mary & Peach, Reichen & Chip, Alison & Donny, Lori & Bolo, Linz's, Rob & Kimberly, Toni & Dallas, Mark & Michael, Brad & Victoria, Sam & Dan. Two teams at this stage won their season.
Dan & Jordan share the same record as David & Margaretta, Kim & Leslie, Chip & Kim, Don & Mary Jean, Kellie & Jamie, Charla & Mirna (AS), Marianne & Julia, Ronald & Christina, Brian & Ericka only won team has won at this point.
Louie & Michael have the same record at this point as Peggy & Claire, Kami & Karli, Meredith & Maria, Lyn & Karlynn, David & Mary, Kate & Pat, Maria & Tiffany, and Mika & Canaan. No one in this group has ever won the race, and only one has made the final three.

mswood, personally, I'm waiting another couple of legs or so before comparisons to prior seasons. If you were to look at many of those teams after the second leg, their performance after two legs wouldn't have suggested a top 3 finish, much less a win.
But as I mentioned in my previous post, I haven't seen three bottom teams earn the exact same placements in each of the first two legs before. That's just peculiar.
