This season ill start doing a little more in these forums instead of just my own teams.(in hopes it will make more people do more for this forum as well) SO with that being said, each week(every 2 days) ill keep an up-to-date Power Rankings. This is all my own opinion. you can agree or disagree, it doesnt matter. just something to read, pass time, discuss, etc. Ill also do one review write-up for what i think the game of the week is, and preview for that game on the folloing weeks rankings....Anyways here it goes...
***Preseason Polls***
****Zeta Rankings****
Rank - Team(Last Weeks Rank) - Spots Moved - Notes
1. Rotterdam Roughnecks(N/A) - 0 - The Roughnecks stand atop my polls because of one reason and one reason only. They are the defending Zeta Champs. They have added a few people to their defense this season that could help boost them to a repeat as the champs. Until someone is able to knock them off, they will remain atop the polls.
2. Rivals Mainboard Pimps(N/A) - 0 - The Pimps looked strong all season last year and look to continue to do the same again. They are loaded at every spot and look to use their depth and constant shit talking to their advantage and try to do in the Pros what they did in AAA in season 3, and thats win a championship.
3. Frankfurt HEAT(N/A) - 0 - Since joining Pro the HEAT have been a top team in Zeta and look for them to be in the top 4 once again this season. They cruised their way to the zeta championship last year but were stunned. They look to get revenge very quick, cause once again they play the roughnecks 1st. Get ready for a shootout.
4. MA Trolls(N/A) - 0 - The MA Trolls are about a good as a team as they come. There is literally no weakness to this team. They were a strong favorite in zeta to win it all, but after 15-1 record last season they stumbled in round 1 of the playoffs to the #1 Roughnecks. Look for the Trolls to get their revenge and be a top contender for the title this season.
5. Multiple Scorgasms(N/A) - 0 - The most underrated team of the bunch. The scorgasms will try to win at all cost, and will run the ball down your throats. They had a great start, but what seemed to be a good addition to the team by adding QB Eagles, actually seemed to make them worse. After a 2nd round exit in the playoffs, they have gotten rid of Qb Eagles and brought in what they hope to think will be their savior and the starting Qb they have always lacked...Level 33, Adrian Viking. Welcome to WEPL.
6. Reyjavik Aggies(N/A) - 0 - The aggies are probably the most consistant team in zeta, they always finish with about the same record, they play every team hard, and usually are a tough opponent in the playoffs. However this season could be their year. Look for the aggies to start out strong against their weak starting schedule. They should be a force come playoff time.
7. PPP Longnecks(N/A) - 0 - Not much to say here cause to be honest I didnt keep up with AAA last season at all, well i never have actually. So i dont know a single thing about this team. best of luck to you in the PROs.
8. Rohreim Stampede(N/A) - 0 - The stampede had a horrible finish to a what started off good season in season 4. I have them ranked 8 instead of lower, cause i see them turning it around and being a top contender once again in season 5. Watch out for the stampede.

Game of the Week 1 Preview
Rotterdam Roughnecks(1) vs. Frankfurt HEAT(3)
Last meeting: Zeta Championship Outcome: Rotterdam by 21 - http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=138714
- Rotterdam finally got their first ever win vs the HEAT in the Zeta championship last season and it was shockingly not even close. For Rotterdam to win again vs the HEAT they’re going to have to continue to have success on the ground. Since the arrival of Gabriel Knight the roughnecks are 7-1 and look to continue their new found balanced offense success. The Roughnecks put up a total of 418.5 yards against the HEAT defense last game, and I look for them to have comparable numbers once again.
- Frankfurt is a damn good team. They were riding a 13 game winning streak heading into the Zeta Championship game last season and after they were upset big, look for them to be hungry for revenge in the opening week. Frankfurt must solve their starting QB Jimmy Clausen problems if they plan on winning this game. Last outing vs the Roughnecks he was 8/21 for for 70 yards on 38.1% throwing and an INT. He MUST have a better game if the HEAT even plan on keeping this game close. However the HEAT running backs were upset after the game due to the fact that they both averaged over 5ypc but only got to run a combined 16 carries…
- Prediction: If the HEAT cannot be more balanced and move the ball more then last time then the outcome will not be much different. However, I still see the Roughnecks winning their season opener but in a much closer game. Roughnecks win 30-23
