#8 (6) - Amsterdam Bulls (0-1) - They played top ranked SoCal relatively close, and I expected them to lose, so I am not going to drop them too far at this point. They were able to gain over 400 yards on So Cal, including this TD pass which was their play of the game: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1667225&pbp_id=2582447 . They get an easy opponent this week (TCU) and should win easily. (Prediction - Amsterdam by a ton)]


they're just trying to keep it close.

I was surprised by the margin of victory as well for Buda, but we had a lot fall into place shortly before the game. I wasn't expecting much from our side, given we are a bit younger and they just demoted.

Had quite a few players hit day 441 that were able to boost up, and we fixed our returner problems between game 4 of the pre-season and game 1 of the regular season.

As usual, Buda is overrated.

We are not that good right now.

I think everyone is still trying to sort through the new plays and changes so the best teams may not show up til near the end of the season

I have no doubt AIs will evolve. I know my D did from our trouncing by ATAIF in a private scrim to our Week 1 game. However, I have to rank based on what is happening.

Before I say anything further, Welcome to OPL!

Crimson Dragon is really worse than a CPU team, since their players do not adjust to their opponents like CPUs do. Over half of their players are under level 60, and 1/4th are under level 50. A level 72 CPU >>> a lvl 50 player, no matter how well built the 50 is. That was shown when they first beefed up the CPUs and before they put in the level adjustment. And from the open builds, those are not well built players...http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1691165 ... Thus, you beat a team that is worse than a CPU, and did so in the same fashion I would expect any decent team to do.

In contrast, South Bend kept it relatively competitive against a former WL team that I believe to be one of the best in OPL. That result surprised me, thus they got a small bump. I consider opponents when making rankings and have been right more often than not.

Don't fret though, you will get your shot to show if you belong in the top 10 when you play Banzai in Week 3. Beat them and you will sling shot into the Top 10.



Thanks for the Welcome! It's good to see that we have some thinkers here. Guess I'm just too used to being around a lot of smack talkers that really put little thought into their posts. With your explanation of our Wk1 "scrimmage" I can see why we would drop a slot. Kind of takes me back to my college days as a Hawkeye fan! We'd win a game against Indiana by 3 and lose ground in the polls - LOL!

really? we're just level 66 average level, 363 days old dots.
don't you think going up against 440+ age dots ain't a mismatch a bit?
