It's not even the preseason yet, but never too early for a ranking thread, right?


1. ***Official*** Footballguys
S10 review After a championship season in S9, ***O*** looked very strong in S10. Could have been 15-1 but careless AI mistakes caused them to lose to the Golfers and the Woodys. The playoff loss to OTR was a bit of a head-scratcher. Maybe they overlooked an opponent that they totally throttled in the regular season?
S11 outlook OFG has the talent to run the table in the East, but I have to question whether they are going to be willing to put forth the effort after losing what they feel is their rightful place in the World League. Projection: 14-2

2. New Jersey Blaze
S10 review They rolled a lot of good teams on the way to an impressive 13-3 season in their USA pro debut.
S11 outlook It looks like NJB will be keeping their core intact for S11 and after tasting success in USA Pro they are going to be even more motivated. Projection: 13-3

3. Indianapolis Gurupies
S10 review Stated the season 9-0 but got beat up towards the end of the season when they faced the elite teams of the East. Lost to Cinci in the playoffs, but only by 10. That's pretty damn good.
S11 outlook No major off season moves for Indy, so we should see a similar level of success as we saw in S10. Projection: 13-3

4. Alpine Golfers
S10 review Started 0-4, then only lost 2 regular season games the rest of the way. Boneheaded OC made a dumb AI mistake that cost them a chance to beat ***O*** in the playoffs.
S11 outlook Alpine is seeing the biggest off season roster turnover in team history. They look to be getting more talented, but can they turn the talent into a home playoff game? Projection: 12-4

5. Columbus Woodys
S10 review Jussst missed the playoffs with moderate effort in S10.
S11 outlook Don't know why, but I get the feeling that Tom Collins is getting tired of being mediocre - Woodys should make a strong comeback in S11. Projection:12-4

6. Washington Slashers
S10 review Brought their phallic chainsaw to USA Pro in S10 and tore up most of their opponents.
S11 outlook I see them having about the same level of success in S11. Can't expect much more when your kicker is one of your top players.Projection: 11-5

7. New Brunswick Scarlet Knights
S10 review Lost the AAA2 championship by a point and have gold trophies from all of the other lower leagues. Clearly these guys are winners.
S11 outlook Teams that do well in AAA2 tend to do well in the pros. Projection: 10-6

8. Chocolate City Cha Chings
S10 review After taking S9 off, C4 reconstituted their roster and completely ripped their way through AAA1, thumping the Lesbians with their Chocolate thunder in the championship game.
S11 outlook Unfortunately winning AAA1 doesn't prove much. For now I have them in the 8 seed but I won't be surprised if they miss the playoffs. Projection: 9-7

9. Washington Bullets
S10 review The Bullets haven't so much as sniffed the playoffs since winning USA Pro in S7. S10 was another lackluster effort.
S11 outlook The talent is there, but the motivation hasn't been for a while. Could make the playoffs if they actually try. Projection: 8-8

10. Naked Mole-Rats
S10 review Bounced in the conference championship of AAA2 after a very strong season.
S11 outlook Should win half their games and will be on the bubble for the playoffs. Projection: 8-8

11. San Francisco Demons
S10 review Nice season in AAA1 East, but throttled by C4 in the conference championship.
S11 outlook 13-3 in AAA1 = losing record in USA Pro (sorry fellas) Projection: 6-10

12. Northwest Arkansas Naturals
S10 review Put together a solid 10 win season, but had to play Cinci in the 1st round of the playoffs. Doh.
S11 outlook Big roster changes for S11, will have to see if the new players can be fit into their once-prolific offense. Chem hit could cost them a couple games. Projection: 6-10

13. South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice
S10 review The season 9 AAA1 champs showed how big of a jump it is to the pros with a 4-12 season.
S11 outlook They don't seem to be adding the talent they need to win in the pros. Projection: 4-12

14. Key West Corsairs
S10 review Went 14-2 in AAA1 East, although margins of victory were not impressive.
S11 outlook These guys seem motivated but probably don't have the talent level to hang in the pros. I hope they will prove me wrong. Projection: 3-13

15. Detroit Demon Lions
S10 review Using only 42 men, accomplished their main mission of getting ICECOLD! the receiving trophy.
S11 outlook This year going to try to repeat the mission with 33 men. Projection: 1-15

16. Richey Royals
S10 review Probably best to forget what happened in S10.
S11 outlook There is still a lot of time to add talent, but the roster is looking very shaky at the moment. Projection: 0-16

Nice work wessimo.

We are taking a huge risk with the Royals rebuild but we hope it pays off for us in the long run. We might be a little under lvl'ed this year but we brought in some quality builds and we will give the east the best we got.

Plus we are banking on the fact that one or two owners in this conference will fold under the pressure and sell their teams.

I think CCCC is going to finish higher. Top 4 is my guess. I believe they were a 6 seed in season 8 and that is with the Maulers, Gamblers, OTR and Shockers all finishing ahead of them.

Shockers too low.

I like OFG, Jersey, Alpine and C4 as the home playoff teams this season.

blasphemy, Gurupies will be #2. #1 if they can knock off ***O*** I don't see C4 being that good.

Then again I have been wrong before.

Bullets have a new OC (and five of his players). If I were a betting man (oh wait I am), I'd bet quite a bit of money that they do better than 8-8. Motivation will be there, I guarantee it.

You should probably wait until later to do these. I know OFG is still making some signings. Couple big ones on the horizon
