I think Silver 7 west is a little overrated, other than Final Thought, no one else really impresses me.Montpellier's pretty solid too. But you know that, the Mobsters played them twice this season.
I've never really had reason to take notice of the Crib Midgets or the Clippers, but looking at their scrims against teams that I do know, they're both pretty good teams. I wouldn't consider them elite. No offense. They're both probably somewhere around as good as the STARS, who ended up (deservedly) as #4 in Silver 5 West.
If I had to rate the top 4 of each Silver 5 west and Silver 7 west, I'd probably go with:
1) Final Thought
2) SAS
3) The Ninja Squirrels
4) All American Wolverines
5) STARS, Crib Midgets, Clippers, and Montpellier
Personally, I think SAS would probably have the gameplanning advantage over FT, but FT would have the build advantage. Of course we'll never know for sure. The STARS and AAW are both folding after this season. But look at WTMP's scrimmage schedule:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6981The Clippers played WTMP twice and split. Final Thought played WTMP and lost a close one. The STARS had the most convincing victory over WTMP with a 21-0 shutout, but I'm guessing that if we'd played them again it would have been far closer or would have gone the other way.
