Texan's Preseason Top 10

Note: I never claim to be accurate. This is a bit Naga-heavy but I think Naga is a much stronger conference this season.

1. Saigon Whores (Naga)
The second best team in Naga from last season now looks like the prohibitive favorite this time out unless someone has some tricks up their sleeves.

2. Tet Offensive (lolgaruda)
Talk of 20-0 begins as Tet returns stronger than ever but there are many stumbling blocks on the way.

3. The Blue (Naga)
Maybe a bit of a surprise in this spot but I have a feeling they take that next step to home playoff team that they have talked about since oh, like season 7.

4. Bangalore Monsoon (lolgaruda)
Bangalore is once again loaded with top talent and good coaching. They will contend all the way for the title.

5. Palembang Drunken Monks (Naga)
Don't sleep on the Monks, they have some great dots and their inexperienced OC will get better as the season progresses.

6. Shadow Lake Snakeheads (Naga)
Another tough team in a stacked Naga Conference. They will threaten to play at least until day 38, but can anyone beat Saigon?

7. Portland Dirty Penguins (Naga)
Another rebuilt Naga team with a lot of talent, but will they find direction and waddle their way up the standings once again after an off-year 7th seed?

8. Semarang Red Dwarfs (Naga)
The only new team to make my initial rankings, Semarang has vets coaching the team and aren't really "new" by practical standards at all. Their roster is a bit old and that could come back to bit them as the season progresses.

9. Lucid DREAM (lolgaruda)
I have a feeling this team picks up steam as they go and I would not be surprised to see them pull a playoff upset or two.

10. Tibet Psychonaughts (Naga)
A really nice roster still and now with some Pro experience they are a sure playoff team, but how will they be come playoff time?

Honorable Mention: Hong Kong Hustlers (Naga)
HKH had a terrible season in their Pro debut but I have the sense they will surprise a lot of teams this time around.

Buffalo Rampage (lolgaruda)
I hesitate to ever count them out.

3. The Blue (Naga)
Maybe a bit of a surprise in this spot but I have a feeling they take that next step to home playoff team that they have talked about since oh, like season 7.

In fairness, a part of that team has had home playoff games here in SEA

Like your rankings other then inflating Saigon's ego a little bit!

I just tell it like it is, but upsets happen every season here in SEA, so far from a given.

Semarang is the 6th best Naga team?

lol

We'll see about that

Sock, I would not be surprised to see you do much better. I was thinking you start out very strong and then struggle a bit later on since you have some oldies on the line.

6th best???

Possibly, like I said, I am always open to the possibility that I'm wrong.

Those 5 teams I listed above are also very tough imo. Naga is just stacked from 1 to 7 or 8.

Dude he is being generous. Lucky to make playoffs imo. i lold at all the people who have you winning the league in that competition.

Edit: Although it was a nice win vs bangalore.

Thanks for the mancrush, Texan.

I too think that Naga is pretty deep at the top and it's a guessing game after Saigon.

we have a bye week before we play the whores

hmm, I probably should have put Bacolod under honorable mention as well. Naga is a bitch as usual.

yeah i think Semerang and Buffalo need to be alot higher, but they're your rankings... Thanks for taking the time!

I think Tibet will end up better than 10th. But I can't argue with your logic that decline will be a bit of a concern late in the season.

Meh, we've been lazy lately. I don't mind being underestimated.
