Well, SA Pro is a completely different level to AAA. Most teams that move up gut or get sent back down in their frist few seasons :/ If you look at the team who are really struggling, you'll see they're all either first or second season teams in SA Pro. The exception of course is the Cobra Kai who aren't 1st or 2nd seasoners (though its their first season in Satchmo) but I think that's mostly because they're severely underleveled.
Season 11 League Champion of AAA#1 is 3-7 and gutting (they were 20-0 in AAA), runner up of AAA#1 is pretty much gutted and 0-10, Dizzy Conference Champion of AAA#2 is 3-7, etc. Only AAA trophy winner to buck the trend is Black Orpheus (formerly Santiago Turtles) who are a moderate 6-4. That said, there are a couple of first season teams that are up there in the mix so far, but the majority of those promoted (like you guys will be) suffer badly.
So, best of luck, but doing well in AAA the previous season before moving up means next to nothing. It'd be nice to see you buck the trend, but regardless I think you're in for a shock. That, and it's a seasonal ritual to welcome all the 'scrubs' through a good roasting over the forums which is almost an entirely different game to play.
