The Western Conference is raping the East in forum participation.
Denver.. will late season boosting work for them?
When will Big 12 start to under-perform?
The hell happened to Pittsburgh?
Is it safe to say the Eastern conference battle is really between Chicago and Indy and everyone else is playing for 3rd?
I'll go ahead and give my opinion. This conference is Indy/Chicago all the way. Big 12 has not proven in their history they have what it takes to win all season long. They've won a couple of big games, but lost more than their share. They could be a dark horse, but it is not likely. Denver has started off 0-2 and it doesn't look like they've done much boosting. They will definitely make the playoffs and may even end up in top 4 but we'll see. The real 3rd party that might make things interesting is Greensboro. They showed they could beat a historically decent team in New Dawn (will this team ever get over the hump?). All of these teams will have good records thanks to a weak conference.
In the end.. Chicago/Indy are the only top tier teams in this conference this season (at least until proven otherwise). I, personally, don't see this changing anytime soon.. so I definitely expect to see one of them playing in A5 next season. Ludlow may or may not be there to enjoy the company, though
