And as the top eight position themselves, as the top three continue to last each others' pace, there’s been no let-up for the sides desperate for promotion to the Championship this season.. we could be heading towards another record points total required.
But where do Sheffield Wednesday sit in the reckoning according to the stats? What about the pace-setting pair of Ipswich Town and Plymouth Argyle – and what about the likes of Derby County and Barnsley?
Who looks most likely for relegation?
The number crunchers and statistics experts at FiveThirtyEight have taken into account the quality of each squad, form guides and remaining fixtures to draw up their recmmendations on who will finish where on what number of points.
And it’s tight in several areas of the table - with a handful of spots separated by goal difference.
After the FA Cup pause, here’s how the data experts see League One finishing..
5. 21st - Burton Albion - 46pts
After a tricky summer it's been a chastening start to the campaign for Burton Albion, who did away with Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink as manager to bring in Dimo Maamria. There's been a stop-start uptuen in fortunes but it's looking like a hell of a battle and FiveThirtyEight present a 64% chance of Brewers relegation. They have them finishing in the final relegation spot - on goal difference, no less. Ouch. Photo: Nathan Stirk
6. 20th - Morecambe - 46pts
Here's a stat that might blow your mind - Morecambe FC have never once been relegated in their 102-year history. But there's a first time for everything and it's suggested that Derek Adams' side will narrowly avoid doing so yet again this season. It'll be close, they say, doing so by the virtue of a better goal difference. They've a 57% chance of staying up. Photo: Lewis Storey
7. 19th - MK Dons - 49pts
Perhaps one of the surprises of the season so far is just how far MK Dons have fallen off the pace of last season - despite having lost big, big players. Liam Manning left, Mark Jackson came in and the algorithm has them collecting 49 points - a full 40 points shy of last season's third place tally. A 71% chance of beating the drop is encouraging for a team that is just starting to yawn themselves awake. Photo: Pete Norton
8. 18th - Cheltenham Town - 50pts
Another side who have taken well to League One, Cheltenham are in little danger of dropping down to the fourth tier as per FiveThirtyEight's algorithm, which puts the chances of survival at 74%. They do what they do and they do it well. Photo: Ryan Pierse
