I will pick this up in greater detail soon, but for now, I'll just set them in groups for my EXPECTATIONS, and will get a little more precise about it when I start it for real.

This is just for the regular season, not final standings.

Alpha

* Woodridge Lumberjacks
* Valhalla Vikings
* Fightin' Texas Aggies
* Berlin Blitzkrieg
---------------------------------
* Wembley Warriors
* Lake Charles Who Dats
* Aberdeen Wrecking Crew
* London Monarchs
---------------------------------
* Toledo Swords
* E-City Mercenaries
* Nice Dauphins
* Carthage Army Of Darknes
---------------------------------
* Stuttgart Nighthawks
* Copenhagen Dragons
* Lyon Sharks
* Blackpool Mountain Lions

Edit Toledo and Mercs could easily move up a group and replace any of those above.

Zeta

* Korb Destroyers
* Valencia Billy Goats
* Rohrheim Stampede
* Rivals Mainboard Pimps
-----------------------------
* Frankfurt HEAT
* MA Trolls
* Reykjavík Aggies
* Rotterdam Roughnecks
-----------------------------
* Stockholm Meatballs
* Oslo Berserkers
* Paris Musketeers
* Oxford Eagles
----------------------------
* Bari Barracudas
* Multiple Scorgasms
* DFools AllStars
* Sandford, Gloucestershire Policeman Officers

EDIT Oslo and Meatballs have the same ability to move up a group, and very little seperates the top 8 teams, it will come down to who boosts when IMO.

Pimps arn't a top 3 team, top 10 - maybe, but not top three.


we will just have to see about that


Feel free to do a bet if you want, I am absolutely confident they will not be top 3 in Zeta.



what kind of bet?


I suppose Avatar bet would be the way to go, no other way to bet really.
If Pimps don't finish top three, I control your forum avatar for 72 hours. if they do, you control mine for 72 hours. Fairest way to go.


deal

I'd bite your hand off right now for a fifth place regular season finish in Alpha next season!

The Groups are not in order, it should read as something like, "Top 8 but probably not Top 4".

Same for all the groups.

I'm sorry, the Vikings aren't 3rd place, that can't be accurate.

The Warriors are probably one of the more difficult teams to group in Alpha. They could easily fit into the bottom of the second group or the top of the third.

I guess it's better than owning the 9th spot!? Musketeers finished there 2 seasons in a row...

I can see Stockholm finishing higher than Pimps next season...

Also, imo, Zeta has a better pass defense than alpha, but alpha has better run defenses. So With the pimps being a running team, they might have alot of success in zeta

2nd Season - Vikings finished 3rd - an embarrassing loss early in the season keeps them from 2nd Place
3rd Season - Vikings finished 3rd - 2 embarrassing losses early in the season keeps them from 1st Place
4th Season - Vikings are projected 3rd.

....


FTA has finished higher than the previous season twice now. I believe we were around 8 in Season 1, 5 in Season 2(?), and 4 this season. I would like to see that trend of upward mobility continue into next season. However, there are three teams in Alpha that seem to have our number and we will have to do something about that. I think they know who they are.

If I bite the other one off, he might have a hard time running the team next season and we might finally beat them. I like it!

We have our work cut-out for us in Stuttgart. We need to have a competitive Offense next season.

At least some one gives us credit.

That's not a slam against the Pimps either -- I actually think both the new comers in Zeta are pretty talented. Mike just seems to have some sort of grudge against the Meatballs.

We'll find out more when the season starts

Nah, no grudge.

I even said you had the potential to be in the next group up.

You suffer slightly because of the limited opportunities you have had to prove yourselves against quality teams.

Only Cows and PPP were really worthy competition, Razorbacks didnt impress me.

You edged PPP rather than dominating them, but the victory against Toledo was impressive.

So you fall into the probably top 10, maybe top 8, outside shot at top 6, unlikely to be top 4.

Like I said in the first post, these groups are ony provisional for now, they are what I Expect.
When I run some numbers and do full match up comparisons, I will pin it down a little more precisely and have full reasoning.

Power Rankings never did anything except piss people off.

I should make a list.. these are my power rankings for next year.

1. Rivals Main Board Pimps
2. Everyone else

Edit: and yes, I despise NFL power rankings.
