It seems a while since anyone won 30+ games in a season so I was curious about when was the last time.

It turns out that it was way back in Season 12, a whole recruitment cycle ago.

What surprised me even more was that only 4 teams have achieved that feat - each on just one occasion (Columbia - who have the best ever win ratio, Quincy, Pekin, and New Orleans) whilst one team (Cincinnati) have managed it an amazing four times in a row!

I knew James was good, but that is an astounding record.

Personally, I'm not sure we'll ever get another 30+, partly because too many teams that used to be cannon fodder are now being well run (I'm looking at you Antoine) and partly because it seems more expensive to get top quality recruits.

But I doubt Steve's 34-4 season will ever be touched, and I can't see anyone coming close to JT's four in a row.

No odd seeded teams left in Nationals
