OK so we don't have a schedule yet and have no idea what the sim is going to be like. There are also still some big time FA's out there floating about un-signed BUT I'm bored so here goes the first shot at the Western Conference predictions. As a side note my wild ass guess pre-season number 1 and 2 teams last year played in the Conference title game.
16. BSB as of right now they are still here. Who ever swaps with them will most likely get this spot.
15. Dread City Diabolicals-an impresive playoff run got this 4 seed in AAA a spot in the Pro's. They a few issues in their scrim with a USA PRO team last season so I don't know if they are ready to be up here yet.
14. NY-CA Ground Pounders. NY-CA looked decent near the end of last season, but just being decent doesn't cut it up here.
13. Parma Burglars-Season 9 was tough on Parma and I don't know if they can step it up play with the big boys in USA PRO.
12. Ketchikan Kamper Adventure Rentals-Nice looking squad, but not the best team coming up from the minors to the pro's. They should be a tough Opponent, but I don't see them making the playoffs with the level of competition up here.
11. Chicago Hedgehogs-After an Epic Failure to end season 9 the Hogs better step it up if they want to have a shot at the playoffs this year. I think the quality of the league at this point is going to make this impossible.
10. San Diego Demolition-Very Good team with a real shot a causing some problems up here. I just don't see any of the new teams making the playoffs in season 10. They would be my pick to pull it off if things break right for them.
9. Compton Vikings-It strange to say but picking a team to miss the playoffs in this conference is not a slight. Compton would be a playoff team in any other league in GLB, right now I have them on the USA PRO West fence just missing out on a spot.
8. San Diego Lightning. Should be a interesting season for the Lighting. They played great at times last year but with the Roster limit one of their major weapons might be slowed down a bit. Still I think they will still be playing in real games on day 34.
7. Lincoln Navigators-The Navs started slow last year and it cost them a playoff spot. This team figured out the sim by the end of the season and was one of the more dangerous USA PRO teams. I look for them to bounce back in a big way this year.
6. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors-On Defense alone this is a playoff team. Daton hit the recruiting trail a bit late this year and that might come back to bite them in the ass. Still one of the better franchise in the game and playoff Lock.
5. Texas Roughnecks-Great year last season for the new USA PRO squad. By adding a power back to complement the Tick they should be even more dangerous offensively this year. Too move up higher than this their D will have to be improved big time since last year.
4. West Scranton Invaders- WSI has decided by the Grace of Bort to come hang with the big boys. Hope their ready to have to GP for 16 games a year instead of 1 or 2. Still one of the better teams in GLB, but the days of going undefeated and rolling through their league are over.
3. Minnesota Maruaders-Galk and company have added some solid pieces to an already stacked team. A poor season 9 has them focused on a run for the title in season10.
2. Washington Wolfpack-Last years regular season champs are back and better than ever. Pain brought over some high quality dots (Asheme, FairForever and a few others) as well as a new OC. The Pack will once again be fighting for the #1 spot in the West.
1. Monmouth Evil Monkeys-Coming off back to back conference titles the Evil Monkeys have added a few solid pieces to an already talented squad. Monmouth hopes this is the year they finally can get over the hump in the title game.
