From the East we all know that the top 5 teams will be (in alphabetical order)
Bayou Bandits Huntsville Rockets Maryland Predators Orlando Bone Crushers Toronto Turtles
That's easy, those teams have been consistently near the top every season and I feel pretty safe saying Toronto will finish at the top. After that #2 through #5 are anyone's bet, though you can pencil Huntsville in at #2 or #3. Orlando losing to Bayou in week 1 might bump them down to #4 or #5, but they will likely boost around week 12-13 and be a force in the playoffs as always.
What I am interested in is the bottom 3 playoff teams. I say they will be
#6 Cleveland Dawg Pound #7 Paper Street Space Monkeys #8 Florida BeachDogZ
Cleveland really impressed us when they forced us into OT and Paper Street has to play 4 of the (predicted) top 5 teams in the first 6 games so look for them to soar up the rankings in the second half of the season after dropping some early. Florida looks like the best bet to make #8 right now but they have yet to play a team that has won a game this season. However they also get the Incinerators in week 17 so that's a freebie and will help them if the playoff race for the final spot is close.
Outlaws, We don't have to wait until week 1of the playoff's. We can settle this in 2 days. We have been looking foward to this game. BRING YOUR ASS ON. San Antonio has something for ya this year.
Good game Rikkhen, maybe you will get another shot in the playoffs.

Thanks for the props. Historically I would have agreed with you but I think with the new advanced AI, things will shift a little. So far it looks like us, bayou, and Maryland are struggling with the new stuff a little...I'm not feeling so confident.
I'm feeling pretty good about the new AI, can't lie. Omaha seemed to have owned that stuff when we scrimmeged them. I'd love to say we didnt give it our all, but they just strait up kicked our ass lol. I've been working my bum off on those settings ever since.

I'll give you that, I know we here at the Bandits have been struggling and could easily slide down the rankings to #5 if we don't fix it, but I think (hope?) we won't go lower than that. For now I am assuming that the teams that have put the most work in in the past and been successful will adapt before they get too far behind. And if you guys aren't #1 then I think Hunstville will be, they seem to be adapting pretty well. So I hope vandiar2 stops rattling their cage (see above post) before we get them too motivated.

Every time we play Huntsville its epic, I would never speak ill of huntsville their team is ALWAYS solid, and always has my respect.
