--- S E A S O N ~ 16 ~ P R E R A N K I N G S ---


--- [WESTERN CONFERENCE] ---


WL BOUND____________________________________________________________________________________________

Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1509

Well the HHWC came down for a quick visit, but that's about it. They should cruise through this season starting off with an easy cross conference matchup to start the season off. They'll have a couple of speed bumps along the way, but they'll be back up in the WL next season.


PLAYING FOR SECOND_____________________________________________________________________________________

Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=676

Only the second season in the Pros for the Fancy Boys, but they'll be playing for the top spot in the West this season. If it wasn't for their aging roster, they'd find themselves ready for WL glory, but then again even if they did move up there; they'd need to recruit a whole new roster.


FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF BERTH__________________________________________________________________________

8 Mile Assault http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1577

Well the AAA may have been a breeze to go through last season, but they may have wasted a season of their player's life in that title run. Adjusting to the Pros is difficult to do and even harder to do when you didn't have anyone challenge you the season prior. I see 8 Mile making the playoffs, but it will be a fight to get there.


Bratislava Lambeau Leapers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6471

I think this is the last season of the Leapers; if they can't make a playoff push this season, they better have a back up plan. I don't see them being a top team this season and I'm not sure they'll make the playoffs, but with their roster aging; this is their make or break season.


WAR MACHINE http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5604

First season in the Pros and with a young roster; they could be a force here. I think they'll do well and could possibly be a lock for the playoffs, but your first season adjusting to Pro life is always tough to do. I see the WAR MACHINE making a run, but this isn't their year just yet.


WATCH OUT AAA HERE WE COME____________________________________________________________________________

Gaines Panthers http://goallineblitz.com/game/roster.pl?team_id=5536

With barely escaping demotion last season, the Panthers time has come. They look to field a CPU roster and the players they do have are aging so even with some great last minute recruiting; I just don't see them staying around another season.


Ontario Ice Weasels http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5429

Welcome to the Pros! Glad you took the opportunity to move up here, but you're about to be on your way back down. Not having a full roster, having an aging roster, and my personal knowledge of your defense...I'm afraid you guys won't find the Pros as easy as AAA was last season.

--- [EASTERN CONFERENCE] ---


WL BOUND____________________________________________________________________________________________

All The King's Men http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1239

I put ATKM here last season and they let me down; hopefully the past is the past and they can finish off the season strong. They have the roster and the experience to take the league and move on to the WL. Hopefully this will be their season!


PLAYING FOR SECOND_____________________________________________________________________________________

Seattle Renegades http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1153

This is only Seattle's second season in the Pros and I'm impressed that both the teams I'm putting in the 2nd place came from USA AAA #1; nicely done! Seattle has shown they can handle the Pros and will battle it out for the top spot in the East.


FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF BERTH__________________________________________________________________________

Tennessee Fury http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1202

The Fury just made it into the playoffs last season and upset the mighty Mist, but I fear this is the fluke year where the Fury struggle. Some of us know the Fury can't find success in the playoffs; only in the regular season so something must be wrong! I see the Fury making the playoffs, but they'll have to fight to get in.


Paris French Connection http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=57

I said Paris would make the playoffs last season and they were just short. This season they should make it, but I think they'll have a fight on their hands to get in. They are a tough team, but this is a tough league.


New Jersey Generals http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=96

They just made the playoffs last season and got to face off with the Hounds; not a great matchup for any team. This season with an aging roster things won't look to be any better. I have a feeling they may just miss out on the playoffs this season.


WATCH OUT AAA HERE WE COME____________________________________________________________________________

Atlanta Purple Penguins http://goallineblitz.com/game/roster.pl?team_id=1489

Well the mighty APP run has finally come to an end. It looks like they'll be mailing it in with a CPU roster, but then again Knightman could sign all of his players once again and make a run at the playoffs; problem is the age of his players. More than likely, APP is done and will drop down.


Jax Beach Juggernauts http://goallineblitz.com/game/roster.pl?team_id=1482

I'm sure smittdog101 woke up the other morning and half expected to see MEM in the first game of the season even if they were in the WL, but for the first time since their arrival; they'll open up against a beatable opponent. Downside is they'll be doing it with a CPU roster. I know smittdog101 loves to recruit during the season, but I don't see him fielding a strong enough team to keep him out of demotion.

That's about what I expect too.

On that note, this will be the last season for the Weasels and my last season in the game.

hey Tex, I hope you dont mean that. the Weasels and Bucs have a long history, I'm hopin you find a way to stick around. recruiting sucks (I personalyl get burnt out and dont do much till the 3rd preseason game, usually, after that....) but sometimes ya get lucky. I know I did, quite a few times.

I'm happy to be the first beatable opponent of the Juggernauts. they are another old BBB 7 team, and it's my pleasure to be a speed bump Probably all we'll be all season, but ya know, there are only 32 teams in USA that got here or stayed here. I feel pretty proud of my Pirates for makin it.

nice work again, JP. always a pleasure to read your stuff.

O_o

That's going on the bulletin board...yep...

Thanks for doing this, jp. I hope we prove you wrong as we stroll into the WL (I can dream, right?).

I can't see any value in a writeup that doesn't focus on CCIA

Austin is definitely winning gold this season, but HHWC may be invited to take our place in the World League since our roster will be too old to accept.

I liked your rankings better last season when you didn't mention the Leapers and Sapper came on and went on a posting rant.
