The teams have mostly stopped moving forward, but there is still some room for growth. They are now in the right place.
It is possible that they are not as bad as they look, that they have just been good enough at times, that they have a good record, or all of the above. But most of the teams ranked 76–100 are still the ones we think they are going into Week 12.
