Sunderland may need to get the highest number of points in the last 10 years to qualify for the League One play-offs this season. But the good news is that they're already reached the average threshold to make it into the top six.
The Black Cats currently occupy the final play-off place on 73 points, with five games still to play. Wycombe Wanderers are level on points in seventh, but have played a game more, while Oxford United have fallen behind in the race, lying in eighth on 69 points with only four more to play.
Alex Neil has overseen a steadying of the ship at the Stadium of Light and, if they do make the play-offs, they are likely to enter the end-of-season battle as one of the most in-form sides in the league. However, the race is far from run, and it appears this campaign will see one of the highest points totals among the top sides.
