Hi David_Elsner - I just checked a couple of SharePoint site collections tied to Teams. In both cases, there is a "Group Members" listed in the SharePoint members group and a "Group Owners" listed in the Site Collection Administrators. However, the SharePoint Owners group is empty.

Do you see a "MyTest Owners" in the Site Collection Administrators?
