Now I've never done one of these before so if its terrible or you dont agree well i dont realy care. This season will be interesting because almost all of the best teams play each other the last 4-5 weeks of the season so until then things can always change.

1. Bronx - Handled up on a gutted team from the West and had their monster DE get 9 sacks to pick up where he left off last season.

2. Port Moody - They added some serious talent in the offseason after a first round playoff exit. They grounded the Pinoy All Stars into the ground with a relentless rushing attack and started the season off the right way.

3. Teikoku Alexanders - The Alexanders crushed the Bullmastiffs beneath the almost 500 yards of their All World HB. Another team coming off a first round exit looking to make some noise in season 7.

4. Thundertown Brawlers - Thundertown dropped the hammer on a gutted team and have talent all over the team. Last season they missed the playoffs after a late season melt down but if the team stays in tact that should not be a worry this time around.

5. Victoria Teabaggers - The Teabaggers got teabagged by CPU (formerly South Texas) by 59 points after not really doing anything well and showing how far they have to go. They have added a lot of higher level talent but will need to take advantage of the cupcake games coming up to get the chemistry up and the gameplans set.

6. Atlanta Dogs - After just missing out on the playoffs last season Atlanta started the season off against one of the elite teams of the West and held their own pretty well. A much more talented team then last season they can make some noise come playoff time.

7. Emmaus Hornets - The Hornets beat a bot team by a solid number and have some pretty talented starters, maybe enough to make the playoffs. However their depth will be an issue against better teams. that said they look in good shape for a playoff run as the teams look now.

8. Yancy Street - The Grimm Reapers have been totally rebuilt and aree a shell of their former powerhouse selves. That being said they are the best of the remaining teams in the Eastern conference and should be able to squeak out a playoff berth if they beat the teams they are supposed to.

As for the rest of the teams they are either gutted or CPU teams which means the playoff teams are pretty much in line, its just a matter of who is getting home field and how the better teams do against each other will decide that. My prediction (and this is just my opinion so please no hate mail) is that the 4 teams with home games will be Bronx, Port Moody, Teikoku and Victoria. As far as the conference champion I think it will be Bronx but its a long season and it could just be a pick em for the 4 teams mentioned in the previous sentence.

Great right up jtrav21! The only thing missing from last season was the game of the week. Perhaps I can chime in with these? I don't have time for a full scale ranking, but I can do that. Here goes:

Game of the Week:
0-1-0 Atlanta Dogs of War vs. 0-1-0 Niagra Rapids

Atlanta is looking to rise up from the mashing they got in the first week from Lynchburg. They showed that they deserve to be taken seriously. Niagra looks like a team with some talent, but in complete disaray. Though they have shown to be a passing team, Jumpin' Jack Flash can't do it all!

Prediction: The dawgs come in to make some noise!
Score: Atlanta 42 Niagra 18

nicely done jtrav21 altho i'd put u guys above thundertown and yeh atlanta were surprisingly impressive i thought they might put up a good fight but they kept lynchburg under 30 points that was way beyond anything i though they could do they are the dark horse this season for the eastern if they improve their offense they could really be dangerous

thats actually a great idea RW and good write up. il try to do the rankings best i can without any bias. and ya whitesquall i think victoria is better than thundertown but they won their first game and we lost ours by 50 so i couldnt really rationalize us over them even with victoria having more talent. anyway glad yall enjoy like i said il have one after each set of games and RW it look like will be doin game of the week.

Yeah...they could do some damage. I'm glad that I have them earlier in the season...get them over with! Kinda like taking your medicine...

Unless Thudertown some how got better about game planning I'm not to worried about them.

Good stuff, Thanks for the nod as the top seed We will take it but i think that Port Moody will argue the toss. For mine they are a little ahead of us, but we are still recruiting.
Keep up the good work!

Port Moody's strength is the ground game but their defense is also pretty good.
Too bad my entire team is still too young level-wise, I could've given CoachWR's team a better fight.

Damn you! Stop giving insider secrets on the open forums!

NO big deal though...they still have to try and stop it...

Also, I'll be looking to get my passing game goin as well, should see a marked improvement soon. As I see it, everyone is struggling this season, so if you have no running game you're gonna be screwed.

No man, your team is legit...it's Victoria that shouldn't be in the top 8 right now

An ass beating by 50 points <shakes his head...>

That's why I have three half backs on my team. But they can't do what your two half backs did against my team.
Give them probably this season and half of next season (I guess both will probably be around level 30/31 by that time) then look out everyone!

And I agree with you that your passing game needs big improvement, if not for the slowness of my low level DE's and CB's your QB could've taken more than 1 sack.

I was amazed at the speed of your DE's and MLB! Too bad my QB's didn't take advantage of those holes that the C and RG made. The holes so wide open that my QB's could've gotten a lot of rush yards but sad to say I only set QB's to rush at 10%.

Below are some of the plays that my QB could've taken at least 4 yards per play.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=300609&pbp_id=1950905
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=300609&pbp_id=1952650
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=300609&pbp_id=1954350

Finally took advantage and got 5.5 rush yards
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=300609&pbp_id=1952117

What I noticed is that every time my guys went Shotgun 3WR set that my HB/RT together with RG created a hole for the QB to rush through.
