Preseason Analysis

Alpha

Alpha is full of competition once again, the teams that have come up have improved the conference, not made it weaker. Why do I think Banzai is stronger this season than Indy who made the conference Championship? At the moment, depth, although Indy’s Speed Back doesn’t hurt their chances to repeat.
Near the top, I’d say perhaps the top 6, maybe even 7, the competition should be expected to fierce, beyond that, (even at #’s 6 and 7) I think we should all expect to see the middle of the road challengers as usual.

Zeta

GCV is the favorite and the 2nd place team imo, isn’t even close. There’s a lot of teams down there that have improved drastically. Perhaps for the first time in a long time, I think Zeta could be the stronger Conference, if not, they’re at least equally strong. Teams like South Bend, Razorback Nation, & Amsterdam Bulls (teams who were here last season) could find themselves moving up the ranks quite quickly. The bottom half of Zeta, is probably exactly what it was last season, nothing to lose sleep over. But you’re all welcome to prove me wrong.

Weakest link is Alpha: Brantford Promnight Dumpster Babies
Weakest link is Zeta: Diamond Valley Devil Drivers

Dare you both to prove me wrong.

#10 - Deadwood Mules - Made it to the second round of the playoffs last year and hope to do some damage this season. As it looks, it will be an uphill battle.

Good Luck !

I took inactives into account although i'm certain that's just an offseason thing but the Mules have been one of my favorite teams to do write-ups on, so I'm hoping that 'low ranking' causes some big teams to take you for granted

lol I doubt anyone will but I do think the Mules have improved. I definitely think that the Mules are probably better than they were ranked.

Thanks Jack!

Don't get me wrong since i have a great amount of respect for the team and the owner, but Mayan at #2 seems a little ambitious. They only beat my Wieners by 1 (http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1768007) and I wouldn't rank the Wieners anywhere near the top in Zeta.

Sorry mwalsma!

Just my two cent...

I get the feelling you're going to be proven correct, but their roster just seemed, close to being as strong as GCV's. so I felt in Zeta, the top 4 was pretty accurate.
