7 teams finished 14-2 or better last season...

some of the BBB ones need to be taken with a grain of salt as they played some horrible opposition

looking at the west, i'm liking the lues in the preseason. the only teams that beat them that are still here are the lesbians and trolls. the lues have an identity, they talk trash, and they have good team depth.

the trolls are weaker in their backups. they have a few sub-30s sprinkled around. yeah i know builds beat levels but the trolls backups might not be able to compete. they could still use a token boost and upset somebody.

i think the squirrels will be the most improved team in the west. they came on strong after a demoralizing losing streak and defeated the austin breakers to get into the playoffs.

the alcoholics look like a gutjob in progress. pencil them in for an easy win (or not, if you're the lesbians)

the cougars have been just good enough to stay here for a while. last year they upset the nation as part of a 5-1 streak to end the season. however, i don't see them making their first playoff appearence.

the raiders under sprocket look kind of low leveled, but they can put a scare into teams with good coaching. in their heyday, they defeated top five in all GLB Honolulu's Hurricane Warriors, holding the wangs without a TD.

looking at the new BBBs, the amish farmers look to have the best squad as of right now. they played two competitive games until the playoffs, and their roster has no real low level holes.

the looters have a few level 6's on the roster, as well as a few sub-30 backups. they put up the points, but against competitive opposition, the defense gave them back (find me an adverb). however their second round playoff game was closer than the lues' first.

the blue waves were the ocho's champions, but their going will be tougher here in A4. their levels = average this year IMO

the whodats didn't play many good teams, and IMO their levels aren't that impressive. i'm predicting they squeak into the playoffs if they make it.

the bombers will compete for a 6th seed or so. last time they were here, they got their first win in week 16 in iruleall's final game as mascots/devils owner.

the heat have been talking, and they're good enough to back it up. a deep roster, a good playoff run, and an offense that can put up the points.

the anarchs got their first points and first win over us in season 2, but outside of a good start in season 4, they haven't done much impressive. i think their second season in A4 goes much like their first one, except they're not beating the lesbians again.

the chupacabras? blah. they're not very good, they exploit the strong I all game, and they don't appear much on the forums. their levels look kind of decent though, so they could get a few Ws. not that they're a threat or anyone good will care...

last but not least, the skyforce. reggiefrom40 is a good owner, and hopefully they can get a few victories, but i don't see them competing. this is a shame, because they have a classy bunch who plays the game the right way.

i'll let you write the one for my lesbians, but we are what we are. we're obnoxious in the forums, powerful on the field, we do it the right way, we're very active on here, and we believe bort screwed us by switching teams from different conferences to go over the lesbians in the promotion order.

maybe it's too late but i believe we should take austin's AA2 spot. looks like they gutted. drunkencowboy (errrr...) laredo will be on top of this to the powers that be.

Nice write up man, Looks like once again Fresno is not getting much respect which is fine, We kind of showed up this last couple of season getting an upset here and there. I would have liked one more season down in the BBB7 though due to us being outmatched again level wise, but I think we will keep games pretty close.

The SyyForce have a lost a couple players too due to free agency.

The good news is the stadium is being built - finally.

The bottom half looks pretty accurate. I actually PMed Support to see if there was a chance to move back down to the BBB leagues, not because this league isn't fun, but because we have no chance.

It was forwarded directly to Bort, but of course nothing was done about it, probably due to needing 16 teams in the league.

At least we'll be in an active league, if nothing else. Even though only half of us can make the playoffs, good luck everyone this season.

And yes, our stadium is finally being added onto, although we still won't have the first lower level completed, believe it or not. We'll be one corner shy. We're barely making it as a franchise due to our low financial resources.

They are deeper than last season and I suspect will sneak up on a team or two.

The Tarheels are an inferior group..they wouldn't have made the playoffs in last year's Western Conference
