Warrior General Games

1. Epic Holiday – continues to dominate most games, but an unboosted SBWL did better against them than expected in Week #7. Has a brutal next 4 games, all against boosted teams. Will easily take the #1 position if they come out of that stretch undefeated, but that won’t be an easy feat, but I believe they will do it and finish 15-1 and take the 1st seed.

2. Crib Midgets – remains the only West undefeated team, but I think their schedule has been pretty easy so far with their only good win being over Chicago. They play Epic Holiday in Week #10 and it’s likely the winner will take over the #1 spot, but I put CM as the underdog in that game. I see them finishing with an 15-1 record and taking the 2nd seed.

3. Chicago 85’Bears – team starting to gel and could give Epic Holiday a run for their money when they meet in Week #9. After that, only plays 3 fully human teams the remainder of the season and should finish no worse than 13-3, likely 14-2 with a #3 seed.

4. Myrtle Beach Surf Riders – had another bad loss to a boosted team, but is doing very well otherwise. They will be put to the test against a good unboosted team in Week #9 of 99 Problems and then again in Week #15 against APF. They also face EH, and I don’t see them wining that one and will likely finish with an 12-4 record going no worse than 11-5 and no better than 13-3 and likely taking the #4 seed.

5. 99 Problems – surprise loss to LSM, which shows they struggle against boosted teams, and will likely struggle against MBSR in Week #9, but has a pretty easy schedule after that with only EH as the only human team they face. They will likely finish with an 11-5 record, but could go 12-4 if they can beat MBSR and would likely claim the #5 seed.

6. All Pro Falcons – the best of the unboosted teams, but has a brutal remaining schedule with 6 of their 8 remaining games against good human teams with 5 of those being boosted teams. This actually works out for APF as the later in the season it gets, the closer a unboosted teams comes in skill to a fully boosted team. However, I just don’t see them beating either CM or C85, but having a chance at the rest of the games. Hard to narrow this team down as they could finish anywhere from 12-4 to 9-7, but think 11-5 is most likely and that’s good enough for the #6 seed.

7. Long Star Mercenaries – surprise win against 99P shows that they are better than most people give them credit for. They still have 3 tough games left against EH, APF, and SBWL. I don’t see them giving EH much of a challenge, but it will be a dog fight against unboosted APF & SBWL. While they could surprise everyone and finish at 12-4, I more see them with an 11-5 or 10-6 record and claim the #7 seed.

8. Short Bus Window Lickers – SBWL had a tough 1st half and now faces a tough 2nd half going up against 4 boosted teams and APF. SBWL is a good team, but the way their schedule played out wasn’t friendly and their record will reflect that. I see them going no worse than 8-8, but likely will be 9-7 or even 10-6, but that’s only good enough for the #8 seed this season.

9. Rabid Zombie Rabbits – only 6-2 as they have had an easy 1st half, but their 2nd half becomes much harder having to face 6 human teams with 4 of them boosted. I see them finishing at 8-8 and just missing the playoffs.

10. Houston Cougars – with only 40 human players, they can best CPU teams, but no one else.

Rest of the teams are CPU teams.


And no bitching about no East rankings as someone from the East should do one of their own!!!

Did I ever once say...Piss on the West?

Nice job Gerr.

definitely a solid 8-7-1 team (I'm always good for at least one tie per season).

For RZR to go better than 8-8 means you have to beat or tie one of the following teams...

APF
SBWL
C85
CM
LSM
MBSR

So, which of those do you think you can win?

08/01/2014 at Lone Star Mercenaries Matchup ------I think we can win this one for sure the the other 5 will be close if we win them.

So, how did my projections fair...

1. Epic Holiday – slipped to the #2 seed after a surprise week #14 loss to 99P, then had a surprising 1st round loss to APF. I once said that EH was a very good team early to middle of the season, but tended to fade late in the season and needed more experience to make it to the title game. That comment was met with a lot of hostility, but in the end, I was proven right. Too bad they went CPU as they would probably have reached the title game within a season or two.

2. Crib Midgets – finished the regular season strong and claimed the the #1 spot and had a decent playoff run, but that ended with the surprise loss to 99P in the conference title game. Though CM has been in PWG much longer, they seem to follow the same pattern as EH, very strong early to mid season, but fade in the playoffs. With both EH and my Bears team out of the playoffs in the 1st round, I was really hoping this would be CM's season to win it all, but sadly that didn't happen.

3. Chicago 85’Bears – even though I claimed the 3rd seed, with my OC bowing out after week #7 and not applying any SP's to my offensive players after that, I got my expected 1st round exit to 99P.

4. Myrtle Beach Surf Riders – after finishing strong and claiming the #4 seed, they had a surprise 1st round loss and a bad one at that to LSM. Hopefully it was a learning experience and they return in S43 that much stronger.

5. 99 Problems – while they finished the season with the 6th seed, they surprised everyone by fully boosting for the playoffs and making it all the way to the championship game. Sadly, FGC from the East was just too much for them and the East took back the PWG Trophy for the first time in many seasons.

6. All Pro Falcons – with several late season losses, they slipped to the 7th seed, but then upset EH in the 1st round of the playoffs. They then took 99P to OT in the 2nd round, but came out on the short end of that one. Goes to show you that even unboosted, they are a dangerous team come playoff time.

7. Long Star Mercenaries – finished the season strong and moved up to the 5th seed, then upset MBSR in the 1st round only to lose to CM in the 2nd game. A lot of people wrote this team off, but they proved they are not to be taken lightly. Hopefully we will see more of them in S43.

8. Short Bus Window Lickers – sadly went CPU after the loss to my Bears and didn't make the playoffs. I think LE just put too much time into the FGC and let the SBWL go.

9. Rabid Zombie Rabbits – snuck into the 8th seed with the SBWL going CPU, but got destroyed in the 1st round as expected. I know they wanted to be taken seriously, but their only good win was against APF and that was probably because they were boosted and APF wasn't and it was in the middle of the season when that matters more. However, they did play LSM & MBSR pretty close the last 2 weeks.


So...my predictions were pretty close to what happened for the playoff seeding, but I was pretty far off predicting the team that went to the championship game.
