We had a nice turnout for the first poll, and that was even with a couple regulars not getting their votes in, so this should be a great season for the polls!

For the first time ever, we have a tie at the top of the poll, between SGA and Stuttgart, however SGA gets top billing as they received more 1st place votes. The rest of the poll shakes out pretty much like the standings, and you have to be impressed with the 2 new teams in the top 6 along with Cape Town's rebirth in Zeta. Anyways, onto the rankings!

---

t-1. Stalingrad Gryphon Army 4-0
Average Rank 1.57
Good Results this week: W27-20 vs Estonian, W35-10 vs Russian
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Looking just as strong as ever. Could be heading right back to WL.
lemdog - I really like all of the top 3 unbeaten teams but SGA just dominated a very good RR team so they get the #1 spot IMO
RaiderSGA - Edges out Cape town on builds, as chem gets better so will they
mike2686 - Welcome back! It's just not a good thing for EEPL lol.
evileyez - Solid beatdown of the Russians. I was expecting more of a contest tbh. SGA is a team that doesn't really matter where they end up in the rankings - they have another level come playoff time. Reg season is just a process they go through.
Hikariu - WL Demote. Great owner/squad. Battling for top 3.

t-1. Stuttgart Blitzkreig 4-0
Average Rank 1.57
Good Results this week: W38-34 vs Odessa, W37-27 vs Philadelphia
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - A couple of close ones, but still impressive. C-Town and SGA next week will show us how good they really are.
lemdog - A close win against the Mojo has me thinking that the Blitz isn't quite as good as I thought or the Mojo is pretty damn good, too early to tell
RaiderSGA - Quality team, chem being down is the only problem.
mike2686 - Same goes for Tallin. Sophomore slump for sure. Getting hammered on all fronts.
evileyez - Really too close to call for the top seed this early in the season. I'm going to give the nod to Stutt just for the fact they ended "The Streak". They are my favorites this season, mainly because I know they are great and the S1 dots they have won't begin decline till very late into the season.
Hikariu - No Comment.

3. The Cape Town Cubicles 4-0
Average Rank 3.14
Good Results this week: W38-21 vs Omaha, W37-13 vs Estonian
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Move to Zeta looks like it's had a great effect on these guys. Let's see how they do in big games now.
lemdog - As I posted in preseason the Cubes will be tough to beat this season as their players are finally ready for Pro
RaiderSGA - Surprizing team of the top 3! not sure they will last here, but a great start
mike2686 - I know they are only one of three undefeated teams, but Cape Town will no finish top 3 or 4 for that matter. Great start though looking like a possible playoff team.
evileyez - Wow, pretty impressed with this Alpha ship jumper. (Zeta > Alpha). Ended "The Other Streak" as well as spousal abuse charges on the Wives. At 3, but I don't know much about this team. The next 4 games will tell us a lot and likely determine their level of success this season. So far so good though.
Hikariu - Impressive so far. Should compete for a home game. Must have brought in a stud or 3.

4. Russian Revolution 3-1
Average Rank 4.29
Good Results this week: W34-23 vs C-Town
Bad Results this week: L10-35 vs Stalingrad
comeasur337 - Tough loss to SGA, but still a solid team.
lemdog - Tough loss against SGA but they have proved enough to land the #5 spot just ahead of the Pigs
RaiderSGA - Tough match up with SGA hurt
mike2686 - Welcome back! It's just not a good thing for EEPL lol.
evileyez - Not a very good loss to SGA but LT's boys are pretty good. Beat the Hood - but who doesn't early on in the season. Russians should do some damage down the stretch as everyone else's S1 dots decline. Tactics will be the separator and I don't always feel they are putting enough into it.
Hikariu - LT's solid again but not elite. Needs more X factor.

5. Odessa Mojo 3-1
Average Rank 4.43
Good Results this week: L34-38 vs Stuttgart, W38-10 vs Portland
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Hard not to rank them high, but also hard to tell how good they are. Hood, SGA, and Cubes this week should give us a better idea.
lemdog - Looks like a very good team and they will be fighting for a top 4 seed the rest of the way
RaiderSGA - Had the Mojo here (over the Pigs) based only on the Stutgart close game.
mike2686 - Coming into the PRO's and doing what they do best. WIN!!!
evileyez - Tight game against Stutt. Played Hellas closer than I figured as well - though I don't like to use the scrimmage stuff in the rankings. They have some stud dots and most of the discussions around this team in the forums was whether their tactics would be there for them. Should finish anywhere from 3 to 5.
Hikariu - Very good AAA promote. Stud HB/Line/WR, should scare a few teams.

6. Omaha Spider Pigs 3-1
Average Rank 6.29
Good Results this week: W13-9 vs Dallas, W34-10 vs Philadelphia
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Will be unfairly compared to Odessa all season. Look like a playoff team so far, but could just be the result of a weak schedule.
lemdog - They haven't really beat any good teams so far but they look solid and will sure to be in the playoff mix
RaiderSGA - Coin flip with the Mojo, and their only loss is to an unbeaten as well
mike2686 - Same as Odessa proving that they not only belong int he PRO's, but proving they can win here too.
evileyez - 3-1 but not a good enough body of work imo. Beat up on a bad alpha team, a promote, and a gut job (jazzed ). They will have their shot to move up after the next 4.
Hikariu - Another quality AAA promote. Will compete for a home game.

7. C-Town Hoodlums 2-2
Average Rank 7.29
Good Results this week: W40-24 vs Buffalo
Bad Results this week: L23-34 vs Russian
comeasur337 - Should rebound nicely after a rough start. Most talented team in EEPL right now, we'll see if the gameplanning follows through.
lemdog - ATM this is as high as anyone should have The Hood, another disappointing start to the season full of bad sims and low chemistry has this team fearing demotion out of eepro
RaiderSGA - The next 2 games will tell the story of C-town. chem is on the way up!
mike2686 - Having another rough start to the season but we all know what happened last season. Will C-Town rip off another 12 straight or will they stumble and barely make the playoffs. We know the tactics and talent are there. C-Town just needs to step it up.
evileyez - Another season, another slow start for the boys in the hood. Defense looks a bit shakey this season but that's an easy correction if the time is put in. I'm thinking 3 to 5 seed as well.
Hikariu - Could have a playoff shot.

8. Estonian Wife Carriers 2-2
Average Rank 8.43
Good Results this week: W20-19 vs Arkadak, L20-27 vs Stalingrad
Bad Results this week: L13-37 vs Cape Town
comeasur337 - Probably the scariest team in the league, can beat anyone at any time. I expect a strong run from them this year.
lemdog - A couple tough losses to SGA and the Cubes has them sitting at 2-2, always a tough team to beat
RaiderSGA - Tough schedule out of the blocks, one of the better teams in EEP
mike2686 - EWC is also having a rough start. They pushed hard to make the playoffs last season and I have reason to believe they will do the same again.
evileyez - Buffalo and EWC are very close but I'm giving the nod to EWC given that their losses to the elite teams are easier to swallow. After a promising first season in EEPL, EWC has failed to improve their game. The good showing against SGA means nothing except in these rankings - it's time to make the leap. I still have that faith but it's dwindling.
Hikariu - Probably not very good. Need to see more games.

9. Buffalo WarZone 2-2
Average Rank 8.71
Good Results this week: W19-13 vs Portland
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Good team, but the 2nd year always seems tough for EEPL teams. Need a quality win to impress people.
lemdog - I think they are just having a rough start and will get better as the season goes on, look to see them anywhere from 5-8 come playoff time
RaiderSGA - No comment!
mike2686 - Looks to be having the Sophomore slump. Then again C-Town started a little rough last season. Can Buffalo turn it around and reclaim a top 5-6 seed? The team and staff are optomistic so only time will tell.
evileyez - Not a good showing against Alpha elite Warsaw. Next 4 will define whether they go through the soph slump or not. Buff was a pleasant surprise last season for a league that is always looking for solid contenders. They've stumbled so far this season and the loss to the Hood early on is likely going to factor in tie breakers. It will be tough to repeat their seeding from last season.
Hikariu - Respectable 2-2 probably doesn't belong here though.

10. Rome Raiders 2-2
Average Rank 10.14
Good Results this week: L35-46 vs C-Town
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Tough loss to SGA, but still a solid team.
lemdog - Just lost a close one to the LOL Hood which they could have easily won, I think they could make a playoff run but the road will be tough
RaiderSGA - The have the levels, but do they have the pplanning, the look good on paper
mike2686 - 2-2 so far on the season. But losing to the Ninja's and C-town isn't the death penalty. Keep it up. By the nest set of rankings I plan on seeing you in a playoff slot.
evileyez - Good losses to Minsk and Hood, but still losses. The rest of the 2-2 teams could go either way I think. Thus far, Rome looks to have improved from last season which is promising for them going forward. But it's still early.
Hikariu - Beat who they should. Playoff team probably.

11. Black Sea Buccaneers 1-3
Average Rank 10.57
Good Results this week: W37-17 vs Wheatfield
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Beat Wheatfield pre-gut, and they might surprise a few teams this season.
lemdog - Very tough schedule to start off the season, they finished season 12 playing some nice Dot ball and I think they will put some nice wins together this season
RaiderSGA - Hard to gauge the Bucs as well as the Demonik, They had the toughest schedules out of the box, Most teams would be 1 and 3. could bounce back and be a mid tier play off team
mike2686 - Another rough start for Black Sea. The only thing I can think of at this point is their players are tactics are just overmatched. Or has the staff given up entirely? a couple of seasons ago these guys were the supposed class of AAA.
evileyez - Single win against a pre-gut Wheatfield ranks them above the other 1-3. A team that looks ok on paper but not getting the results on the dotfield. They are not putting enough effort week in and out to compete in the Pros. That's not to say they aren't trying. It's a grind.
Hikariu - Not ready for Pro Quality.

12. Philadelphia Demonik 1-3
Average Rank 12.00
Good Results this week: L27-37 vs Stuttgart
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Shouldn't be taken lightly, one good sim and they can upset some of the top teams
lemdog - This team is hanging in there but may get beat up on quite a bit as the season goes on
RaiderSGA - *See the Black Sea Buccaneers
mike2686 - Philly is still a season or so away from making any noise. But they will win 4-5 games.
evileyez - Fresh meat that is really struggling. Single win against the gutted Hornets. An example why the EEPL vets tend to discredit new promotes until proven otherwise. They have a younger team though so they could be competitive soon.
Hikariu - Tough team, tough road so far.

13. Tallinn Tigers 1-3
Average Rank 12.71
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Where's the offense? and the defense? Rough 2nd year.
lemdog - Not sure what's going on in Tallinn but it smells like a mid season gut job TBH
RaiderSGA - Tough start, but getting blown out. Not good right now
mike2686 - Same goes for Tallin. Sophomore slump for sure. Getting hammered on all fronts.
evileyez - Awful start for the S11 playoff team. Single win against winless lolalpha team and beatdowns in all the rest. But, they have the ST MVP in the kicker ... sorry, couldn't let that one slide! They are not putting the time in like they did last season.
Hikariu - Defense is pretty sad. Might only beat the gut jobs.

14. Portland Niners 0-0
Average Rank 13.86
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: L19-37 vs Rome
comeasur337 - Welcome to Pro, enjoy your 3 win season.
lemdog - Welcome EEPRO
RaiderSGA - Played respectable vs the Mojo, But a struggeling team right now. Needs to get on a win streak
mike2686 - Way to man up and take a PRO spot from a CPU. I just hope you can recover from the number of losses. Zeta is noones play ground this season.
evileyez - Clearly best of the winless. They are putting up a fight but it's not been enough just yet. They've played some good teams though.
Hikariu - Should have stayed back where they came from for another season or 3.

15. Emmaus Fighting Green Hornets 0-4
Average Rank 15.29
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Looks like they're reloading for next season, so they're ranked above the gutted team for me.
lemdog - Emmaus will be a good team to beat on and give out some payback from a couple seasons ago
RaiderSGA - Hard to see them rebuilding...
mike2686 - Well starting over is better then going CPU. So the 15 spot it is.
evileyez - Needs more Ufa. Vaaadwaaaaur. Hornets
Hikariu - Who Dey? Embarrassment.

16. The Wheatfield 0-4
Average Rank 15.71
Good Results this week: None
Bad Results this week: None
comeasur337 - Gutjob after a bad start and no chance at a title. It was a good run!
lemdog - CPU IMO
RaiderSGA - No comment!
mike2686 - Only CPU team in the league, so the 16 spot goes to them. Sad to see'em go.
evileyez - Gutjob. Sorry to see you guys go.
Hikariu - CPU.
