Hey Bitches,

In case you don't know me, I'm the Owner and Defensive Coordinator of the Philadelphia Demonik and I'm going to take a shot at doing some rankings this season. I'm only going to do the Western Conference Rankings because... well... I'm a stoner. Anyways, I could care less what you think and if you think you should be ranked higher than you should go ahead and prove it on the field. Getting down to business, I will be ranking the teams with the worst teams (clueless) to the top teams (saved from relegation). There are a ton of relegated teams in the league this season who really have no shot, not because they don't try, but because they have no stadium and can't afford to get big ticket free agents. So it's going to take a few seasons for you guys to get established. Good luck to you all and let's have some fun this season.

--------------------------------------------
THE RANKINGS BY CATEGORY

Why did you get teams?

#16 South Georgia Falcons - I'm truly hoping you guys are just slow building and looking for a breakout season in season 8 or 9. But good news, you have a higher number of GMs then you do player levels... Prediction 0-16 (A in the potential department)

#15b Topeka Gunners F-16 - A Qb, FB, C, G, DE1, DE2 = your team. WOW, recruit or make friends. Prediction 1-15

#15a Galaxy Aces - CHANGE YOUR NAME, YOU ARE NOT THE GALAXY ACES! moving on... Congrats that you will beat the Falcons this year and maybe Topeka!... oh and all those shiny trophies that you didn't earn are going away shortly, you should have used them to get n00b players who didn't know any better, but you didn't. I'm hoping you're either getting 20 more players or that you're filling out with CPUs which means your average points against will be around 150. Prediction 2-14

Excuses are on the horizon

#13 So.Cal Beach Bums - You guys were mid season with the potential to move up with the big board but you lost players and it appears as though you may be throwing in the towel. Sucks. Prediction 3-13

#12 Port Moresby Trucks - No depth whatsoever means bad things, if you can get ahead in the first half you might be able to hold on but I don't think you'll pull out many wins. Prediction 4-12

#11 Project Mayhem - Keep filling out the team with players and you guys will rise in the rankings. Weak secondary and week WR corp will be the death of you. Kudos on the name though, I think someone in the league has Robert Pallson. Prediction 6-10 (cupcake interleague team helps)

#10 South Park Cows - I'm putting you here in hopes that an Oline is in your future along with a defense. Could take you half a season to get moving. You may think that level 38 RB with 90+strength is going to just plow over everyone like a D league hooker but you'd be wrong, he may have to lead the league in broken tackles in order to get out of the league lead in tackles for loss... Prediction 6-10

These are called "Teams"

#9 RAVING MAD DAWGS - Your offense is getting there and could carry you to this spot because your defense is not quite there yet. How you play against the Red Raiders and the Renegades will determine if you are playoff bound but right now I think you are above the wannabes but may end up drinking the punch. Prediction 7-9 or 8-8

#8 Dallas Red Raiders - I put you slightly ahead of the MAD DAWGS because I think your offense could be slightly better than theirs. Spread offenses should be able to beat your defense. You need a better Oline and some DEs. Prediction 8-8 or 9-7

#7 Springville Renagades - You guys are active and I like that so I'm ranking you into the playoffs. Your levels are still low but I'm half guessing it's a slow build job. I think you're a season away from getting to the top but you have a lot of potential. An easy interleague game helps push you up too. Prediction 10-6

#6 Houston Space Cowboys - Tons of inactives might change between now and the season but I'm thinking it's not going to change. Good depth on offense and solid Oline could win you some games unexpectedly. With all the QBs out there looking for work you couldn't get someone above a level 24?!!? Teams are going to stack the box like the football captain on prom night. A rough end of season schedule knocks you down before the playoffs, but you could be 8-1 going into week 10. Prediction 11-5

#5 Seattle Thunder - This is where I'm ranking you but you probably will end up in 6th place due to a rough interleague game to start the season. You're doing a great job of recruiting which leads me to believe you may slip in the game planning department until the second half of the season. Still in the playoffs but not top of the league, yet. Prediction 10-6

Getting ready to be dominated next season in A7

#4 Las Vegas Legends - For those of you new here I'll explain why they are below everyone else. They were 8-8 last year with 0 game planning and bad play. They haven't added any talent and are the same team they were last year. This team proves that level means nothing while it also proves that you can still win despite not trying. Prediction 12-4

#3 Philadelphia Demonik - Tough start against the Badasses and the Legends could leave them fighting for the #4th seed but I have inside knowledge that a badass DE may be on the way and a sour loss to the Legends last season breeds revenge. Prediction 13-3

#2 Roswell Space Pirates - Returning a sick offense and a nasty defense means this team could be the #1 seed in the playoffs but it all comes down to the showdown in week 4 against the Blaze. I think the Space Pirates and the Blaze and both worlds above everyone else in the conference and should ROLL. Prediction 15-1

#1 San Diego Blaze - The Space Pirates may be the better team but I have a feeling about the Blaze and their smoke tricks. No new players and no lost players means they are returning a solid squad and could run the table to the playoffs where a conference championship rematch will be waiting. Prediction 16-0

Well, after the bitches comment, I was going to begin talking trash. But after looking at the rankings...You're cool.

As far as what you wrote about my team, The Blaze, I wouldn't say we didn't lose anyone. We lost a couple. Only one REALLY major one though. We'll see what we can pull off.

Good stuff. Cant wait to see the games start playing out and how much the teams shuffle around but they look like pretty solid preseason rankings.

Good luck to the BBB #13. Lets have a fun season

You must have been reading my mind, cause I was just thinking the same thing as far as records goes. I think only5 or 6 of my inactives are real inactives, the rest hopefully are just offseason breaks (crossing fingers!!!) but either way, I'm still hammering away at the FA market, and will be very active throughout the 1st of the season in trying to get agents who will stay active, post on the forums, ect. But I am expecting a good year capped off with a nice playoff appearance (and maybe and upset win or 2???)

Excellent write-up Otter. Looks like they'll be quite a few down teams in Season 6 but I have a feeling the gap between teams will start to close in Season 7.

In the mean time, I'll enjoy some of the ass kicking

7 is exactly where I had us. Nicely done. I think there will still be some blowouts this season, but not nearly as many as last season. Should be a good one.

Very well put together otter. I think Roswell is the team to beat, though. Appreciate the props. We have some depth issues we need to shore up, but look to have our best season yet.

Thanks for putting this together.

Respectfully disagree, texpete. You should've seen our forum after we squeaked out that upset against you last season, it was like we won the superbowl hehe.

You guys have a great squad, and we look forward to battling you and the rest of the conference.

Thanks for the rankings, josh.

I just read your post josh and laughed my ass off. Nice rankings - even funnier than Dawgs last season. I'm sure that you boys will do well this season and hope to see you in A7 next season. I can't believe that you haven't upset anyone with this yet either!
