1. Indianapolis Gurupies - Two straight years they have lost to the team who eventually went to the WL. They have a strong squad, but need to make the push this year as the majority of their team is made of season 1s.
2. Chocolate City Cha Chings - Very dominate re-inaugural season. Pierre puts together a strong squad with a very tough defense.
3. Alpine Golfers - Great and active ownership. Fantastic record in and out of the league last year. Takes a huge step up this year and pushes for a chance to play for the WL.
4. Atlanta Purple Penguins - Appears to be the cream of the crop from AAA. Don't know much about them, but they certainly performed well against the rest of the promoted teams. And seeing that this is USA, the promoted teams will more than hold their own.
5. South Otto - After a horrible season 1 in USA they took a huge step up last year and look to improve further on S11.
6. Columbus Woodys - I'm very biased, but after combining squads with the SF Demons (a strong group that ran out of steam last season), as well as some changes at the top, the Woodys will be looking to make a huge statement this year.
7. Louisville Baby Kittens - Only loses last year came against Atlanta. Should do very well in USAPL. Once again very difficult to assess due to no games outside of the conference.
8. Pittsburg Steel Riders - Strong group of users, very talented dots. Could very well be higher than this. Will certainly push for the playoffs this season.
9. Naked Mole-Rats - Hard team to read. Mostly made of a couple of users and certainly made some noise last season. Very well could be the teams last run as many of the players are s1.
10. Louisville Nighthawks - No wins against the other promoted teams in the east. However, an interesting aside, the team was 4-0 against 3 of the promoted teams to the west. lolwest.
11. Tennessee Fury - Again, I'm not that aware of the upcoming AAA teams, but 10-6 in AAA does not equal playoffs in Pro. No wins over other promoted teams.
12. ***Official*** - Complete revamp of the roster, mainly s3 and s4, will certainly win some games this year, but look to make most of their noise in s13 and on.
13. DDL - Icecold for MVP?
14. NBSK - When over 80% of a 48 man team is inactive, rumors begin to swirl.
15. NAN - Goodbye. Will be missed.
16. Key West Corsairs - 44 players does not a team make.
I'm not the best to do this as I haven't followed the AAA teams at all. I know some dots on a couple of teams and have been reading the forums. Throwing out some rankings to ignite some discussion. Oh and lolwest.
S11 Blaze (East)
S10 Shockers (East)
S9 OFG (East)
... lets just say 10-1.
