Below is the Pythagorean table for the 2010-11 English Football League Championship, as of matches played last Saturday (15 January 2011). As always, I used a league Pythagorean exponent of 1.70. The projections suggest that QPR should be opening up a substantial lead on their rivals, but they haven't. The rest of the table shows teams performing roughly in line with their statistical expectations, with the mild exceptions of Norwich City (overperform) and Preston North End (underperform).
