I've started looking into the uses of HABTM with linked tables.  My
greatest problem right now is visualizing and connecting some of my
tables together with one another.  Let me provide a brief example:

Again, using football mechanics for emphasis:

Five groupings:

Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Other, and Ratings

Offense group contains 13 tables
Defense group contains 13 tables
Special Teams group contains 5 tables
Other group contains 5 tables
Ratings group contains 1 table

Total Number of Tables: 37

Each table houses 120 teams
Each table has the exact same team names

What things I know I will be doing with the data?

I will be showcasing "individual teams" and providing a layout of all
their data for all 37 tables.

I will be running cross-comparisons of one team's data with another
team's opposing data.

My Question:

Should I use HABTM and linked tables with my project in this particular
instance?  If so, what advice can you give me on possible pitfalls and
expectations down the road?
