Cascade Goats = even though rumors have it that mccollums wont be as active this season, I still expect more of the same from the Goats this season. West is too strong for them to go undefeated, but they will only trip up a couple times. Projected finish of 14-2 with a #1 seed.
Atlantic City Surf = not seeing much of a change from S16 to S17, so I think they will be a top team again. Only lost 2 game in S16, but S17 will be a harder road for everyone. Projected finish of 12-4 with a #2 seed.
Final Thought = Ping has been a Gold coach for a while, but now that his other teams are no longer in Gold, he can fully concentrate on his FT team and will be a Gold powerhouse this season. Projected finish of 12-4 with a #3 seed.
DIRTY INC. = should have been in Gold last season, but politics kept them out. They are ready for Gold and will prove it this season as long as Dead.Ed remains their DC. Projected finish of 10-6 with a #4 seed.
Chicago 85'Bears = with a brand new offense and defense, and the big turn up in West power, I think a 10-6 finish with a #5 seed is about as much as I can hope for.
PAIN NATION MIDGETS = did well their 1st season in Gold and learned a lot. Looking for them to be a little better this season. Projected finish of 10-6 with a #6 seed.
San Antonio Saviours = another good Silver team that is Gold ready. Run by Dead.Ed and should do well in Gold pending he doesn't get stretched too thin being on 3 Gold teams. Great D, but suspect offense. Projected finish of 9-7 with a #7 seed.
Loretto Panthers = did very well against Gold in S16 and has a coaching staff that isn't new to Gold. Projected finish of 8-8 with a #8 seed.
UT Pimps = another Silver team that did well against Gold in S16, but their coaching staff isn't as experienced. Projected finish of 8-8 and just miss the playoffs.
Gondwana Raptors = average Gold team that can easily beat the weaker Gold teams, but struggles against the better Gold teams. With the upturn in quality teams in the west, I think they will struggle. Projected finish of 7-9.
Outer Banks Bootie Tappers = not a very strong Gold team and just missed being demoted in S16. Did show signs of being better than they appear, but just not a powerful Gold team. Projected finish of 6-10.
Mississippi Mud Dogs = a solid Gold team, but one that won't boost or buy CEQ. This will cost them as there are too many good teams this season in the West. Projected finish of 6-10.
High Plains Renegades = good Silver team, but unproven against Gold teams, but does have a semi-experienced coaching staff. But that isn't enough to save them in S17. Projected finish of 5-11 and will be demoted to Silver.
Shy Town Bears = decent Silver team, but unproven against Gold teams and doesn't have a good record against top level Silver teams. Projected finish of 4-12 and will be demoted to Silver.
Dayton Who Dey Bengals = only made it to Gold due to being in a weak Silver division. Totally unproven against good teams and just don't think this team is ready for Gold. Projected finish of 2-14 and will be demoted to Silver.
Vatican City Apocalypse = another unproven Silver team that got to Gold via a weak Silver division and isn't ready for Gold. Projected finish of 2-14 and will be demoted to Silver.
