Pulled together by online sportsbook BetVictor, each supporter of clubs around the country was asked to deliver their predicted one-to-24 table, with an average prediction for each club calculated and placed in a final line-up of which clubs will be promoted, which will be challenging and which will be relegated.
Two of Wednesday’s Yorkshire rivals are pitted as promotion winners and relegation candidates and there is a prediction of where the Owls will finish themselves as they continue to build under new boss Xisco.
There’s lots of time for things to change before the transfer window closes of course and there’ll no doubt be huge surprises along the way.
But here the wisdom of crowds has taken a stab at how the division will look in May.

22. 15th: Bristol City

23. Rotherham United
An outstanding effort from January onwards saw the Millers achieve safety with relatively little stress. Recovering from the loss of their long-time boss Paul Warne made it even more impressive. But the fans believe they won’t be able to repeat the trick and have them second-bottom. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
24. Plymouth Argyle
There’ll be no thought at Plymouth about finishing rock bottom. They were a relentless machine of a football outfit last season, winning League One, and have done some fine work in the transfer market. They may well surprise a few. Photo: Gareth Copley
