I really don't wanna pick my own team, but meh~, this is just for fun/discussion anyway.

Windsor Red Light We've upgraded at several key positions during the off-season, and we're a top 4 seed last season, I really feel we are in the driver seat for a top 4 this year, but its a long season. Projected Finish(14-2)

Blood Eagle Elders after a quick 20 game win streak trip back down to BBB, the BEE are back and ready to take A by storm. Upgrades at key positions have them looking at a first round home game. Projected Finish(14-2)

Vancover Valiants Returning playoff team from A last season, solid game-planning and players took them into the playoffs last season as the #7 seed, they keep the ball rolling they could be looking at a first round home game. Projected Finish(13-3)

Vancouver Refugees Also a returning A playoff team from last season, they beat WRL early in the season but struggled down the stretch, they can keep early season momentum strong they should land a home playoff game. Projected Finish(12-4)

Niagra Current Slow build season 4, season 3 they we're relatively dominant in BBB, but in A you'll find the competition a bit stiffer. I do project you as a potential top 4 seed, but you'll need to pull an upset or 2 along the way. Projected Finish(12-4)

North Vancouver Hurricane Won the regular season matchup with the Current in BBB#8 last year, but fell in the playoffs, I think they are a solid 5-8 squad this season. Projected finish(11-5)

Toronto Expellers This is my darkhorse, sleeper pick, they were only 6-10 last season, but coming from BBB#7, I know this team is just a good FA period away from being a top 4 team. Projected Finish(10-6)

Cape Verde Jacks Lost to both the Current and Hurricanes last season, and its hard to put them here, but their roster looks impressive and I have them penciled in at #8, but #8 is going to be a mess with as many as 4-5 teams all fighting for it. Projected finish(9-7)

Once again this is for discussion and fun, don't get too butt hurt if I didn't mention your team, these are never even close to right. Lionsfan told us we wouldn't win 3 games our first season,(we won 10), and told us we would be lucky to be the #8 seed our second season(we were the #4 seed).

Looks GREAT!!! I can't really see anything wrong with these rankings. All the teams in there seem to have upgraded from last season, so it's gonna be interesting!!!

The 916'ers gotta be HATIN the fact that the Current, Canes, and Jacks are all mentioned in the top 8 and they are out in the cold. I'll be interested to see how they respond on the field with their new upgrades!!!

EXCELLENT write up Powers!!!

I was going to do something similar =) guess I'll just do it for the West though now cause this looks pretty good.

Niagra Current in particular. The question is wether they boost to start the season, or later on. My thinking (if I was the Current) is that I would boost early. With most of them level 28 already, they'd be looking at minimal exp loss for doing so. (probably less then 100 exp) while boosting their veteran EXP intake a bit faster. Also, gets them right on the edge of getting that 32 Equipment for another +4 to each players major stats.

You bump the Current up to 31/32 early in the season, and I believe you have a team that game plans helluva well and plays much more like an average say Level 36/37ish team. There's definitely going to be some upsets.

I think you have us (The BEE) seriously over ranked. We filled in 3 vacancies this season and none were really starters although a couple will be used a lot. This league will be tough. The BEE went through BBB like a hot knife through butter because the league was weak. We may be able to pull what I'd call an upset early in the season against a few teams with bad chemistry but I'm just shooting for the playoffs and maybe..just maybe a home game.

Other than that...I think it's a good list and I do expect WRL to win it all. You've always had a very solid team.

Also, one thing.

I would give Kukamonga Monsters #7 overall seed. I definitely predict playoffs for them. Admittedly, I think their first cross conferance game will be a big part of the decision making.

The only Hater on are team Mc Fly is gone after screwing us so we had to scramble to replace about 15 players in FA and trades. Hopefully we make a run of it since we were actually able to get some quality players. We are definitely going to have to earn a ranking here.

Well thanks Nephyte. I didn't think anyone would mention us in this thread. We're usually one of the more quiet good teams.
