Here's my first stab at this. I did some digging and I think I got it pretty close. Go ahead, discuss and argue. Remember, this is just a ranking. Its not foretelling who's gonna win it all

1. Santa Fe Regulators –Ranked in the top 4 the last 2 seasons. 2 big boys out of the way. Time to step up!
2. Biloxi Dirty Man-Whores – Always strong with game planning and builds. Make it pay off now.
3. Bellevue Blitz – Lost in the conference championship game the last 2 years. Will this be their year?
4. Gilead Gunslingers – Legendary passing attack gives DC’s fits. Watch out for the Tower.
5. The Screaming Snails – This team scares the top ones more than the Blitz have. If you’re jockeying for position, you don’t want to play the Snails.
6. Orange Maners – Improved by leaps and bounds last year. This year they take another stop forward.
7. Oakland BlackReign – Another team that surprised people last year and just keeps improving.
8. Charlestown Chiefs – Uncle Buck keeps saying it, but this year its true. The Chiefs finally make the playoffs.
9. Seattle Spartans – Greatly improved but just not there yet.
10. Tulsa Scorpions – It’s a close call between the Scorpions and the Trojans. I just take the Scorpions on the coin flip.
11. Northwood Trojans – New to the 3B10 West last year, they scared a couple people. They keep improving but aren’t quite there yet.
12. Los Angeles Gauchos – Waiting on these guys to put it together. When they do, watch out.
13. Warriors of the Big House - foshizzel17 pulled this team from ruins and is doing an admirable job putting it back together. Keep up the good work.
14. California Kings – New kids from A#5. Welcome to the B-leagues. Hope you brought your mouthpiece. 
15. Oakland Silver & Black – Another resurrected team. With the work tbone13_2008 has put in, shouldn’t be too many people putting up 166 points.
16. Louisiana Blackbears – This isn’t even the remains of the Abomination. Jbienven has to begin the long painful rebuilding process. At least his players are in the high teens.

Looks like the OM are flying under the radar again this year just the way we like it.

I have to say I disagree with these rankings.

Dusk, you probably don't want to toot your own horn but back to back conf. championship games puts you guys as top dogs.

Biloxi is definitely a close 2nd.

after that is a crap shoot from 3 all the way down to 9.

Santa Fe/Bellevue/Biloxi are the clear top 3 and depending on the mood, any one of them could be on the top. After that, I think the next 5-6 teams are in a big time dogfight for the last playoff spots.

Im calling Tulsa as a sleeper squad.

You call being ranked 6th flying under the radar?

For those of you that say that the Blitz should be first, I honestly believe that between the Regulators, Man-whores, Gunslingers, and Blitz; you couldn't have a tighter and tougher to call top 4. Wasn't being "humble", I'm just calling it like I see it.

For those that think you should be ranked higher; my top 6 has already proven their moxy. Now its your turn. Nothings gonna get handed to you. Especially not respect.

Let the debates continue until kickoff.

Sure. We beat 3 of the 5 teams ahead of us last year anything short of a home playoff game will be a disappointment.

Maybe underrated, but under the radar would be more like a team not even predicted to go the playoffs...

Dead last eh? Sounds about right... (Oh yeah, I'm the GM of Louisiana Blackbears- real life friend of JB and will be doing a lot of the work while he is busy the next year or so)
Hopefully we will win some a couple games this year, be competitive, and then be able to slowly build up to a contender level.

What's going on guys... Yeah, my team was COMPLETELY GUTTED when I got here. The previous owner released everyone.

The one thing he left me with was fan support and some cash. I wish I would have built a larger stadium during the offseason, but I'm new to this and didn't do it.

Good luck to everyone...especially me.

Your team was gutted more so out of loyalty to his players than to shady dealings. I might not of agreed with how the Abomination did things, but trust me, they did things smart.

I saw you had about $10M in the kitty, so you are in way better shape then most. They did what they thought was right. Their players signed on to be part of that squad, not whoever inherited it. I'm not blasting you, I'm just saying. Thrash was pretty classy. You have no idea how gut wrenching it is for me of all people to say that. Lots of expansion owners would love to walk in with ten million.

Wow, I think I actually hurt myself saying something nice about the Abomination.

I got to poop.

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything negative about previous ownership. I'm just saying I started w/ jack.

The money and fan support he left behind are GREAT. High level players are just tough to come by w/ so many teams looking.
