I was curious to see if there was any correlation between winning teams and lineup changes, with changes being an approximation of the level of involvement of a team owner. This is by no means error-free as many owners are hands off no matter what and still others remain interested with a winning team, and therefore submit more changes. Still, interesting nonetheless.

Here's a chart:

While not proof of anything, it does go to show that 90 win teams or more common among owners who make a lot of changes. A final way to look at it:

7 of 8 "Playoff Bound Teams" have made at least three changes in the 6 weeks.
