midtable
Neither promoted nor relegated
Midtable describes a position in the middle of a league standings table, neither competing for the top spots nor in danger of relegation.
Most common in British football: They finished midtable again this season.
A midtable team is respectable but unremarkable—safe but uninspiring.
The term extends to any ranking system where mediocrity clusters in the middle.
