These are my observations of the Elephant Conference for season 11.

My thoughts come from the following:
--previous knowledge of team
--current roster
--2 scrimmage games

Tier 1

Suez Sultans
Ethiopian Food Mongers
Covington Black Knights
Savanna Pride
Ivory Coast Breakers

All of these teams have a legitimate shot of winning it all. They are all good organizations run by good people. Should be an exciting race.

Tier 2

Kilimanjaro Sting
Uganda Crowned Cranes
P-Town Ballaz
Niagara Nightmares
Nile River Assassins
Zurich Lions

This is an excellent group of teams. It was hard for me not to put them in the top tier. Uganda and P-Town are coming off of disappointing seasons, so I put them in tier 2. I have a feeling that they may have been holding something back last season Kilimanjaro and Nile River look a little bit out-leveled to win it all, but they are class organizations. Both Niagara and Zurich have good looking rosters, but I honestly don't know much about either team. Each of these teams can and most likely will beat a team out of the top tier. They are dangerous!

I have listed 11 teams already and only 8 make the playoffs. 3 solid teams are going to stay home this post-season. Should make for an interesting race.

Tier 3

Hanoi Paratroopers
Africa Unite
Stockholm Storm

All 3 look like solid organizations. They all lack the levels and depth to compete for a playoff spot.

Tier 4

Cyrodiil Blades
Algeria Tigers

The Blades are CPU and Algeria looks to be starting over.

Thanks for the write-up. Kilimanjaro had a disappointing season 10, hoping for a better Season 11! Hopefully a few key additions will help....

The Savanna Pride are looking forward to Season 11 too. As SeattleNiner stated, the Pride were disappointed in Season 10 too and hope to rebound. We kept a lot of players and hoping the few additions will help, as well.

I would like to think any of tier 1 in lion could win it all too. We are the much weaker conference, but it's not because of lack of firepower at the top.

Season 10 the Black Knight jumped up two lvl going form USA BBB to Africa AA. This show as we went 8-8. Losing a couple of tough ones. Season 11 the Black Knight are looking to get back to their winning ways after a good offseason recruiting. We will be tested starting off the season 11 against one of the Lion conference top team. What better way to start off season 11 to see what we are made of

Thanks for the write up.

Nice write up! The Cranes had a time pressed and poor season 10 and are looking to rebound in season 11. Our defense should be strong and we will get the offense going and should give any other team a tough game. Looks to be a very even conference that will come down to close games this season. Good luck to everyone!

Sadly so. Hence, why we are trying to schedule some scrimmages against the teams in Elephant to let us get some serious work in.

I totally agree. RRR showed us how good Now back to the drawing board and get us to winning games. The Elephant conference is going to be tough.

Definitely agree with all the rest of the Tier 1 teams. Beating the Food Mongers last year was pretty much the highlight of our season. The Pride took us down toward the end of the year, costing us a promotion. The Breakers slaughtered us in the playoffs. And I've seen drez all over the place this off-season, and he even beat us out for a couple recruits. Though we'll be looking for payback on the field
