ALPHA PROJECTED PLAYOFF SEEDING:

1) Transylvania Impalers - have been here for a few seasons now, and have kept their same core of players. Always a force to be dealt with. With their team chemistry set and their solid gameplanning definately make the Impalers the "Team" to beat in Alpha!

PreSeason Record: 3-0

2) Pacific Predators - have the same preseason schedule as Old School, yet their team chemistry and younger players make them a step ahead of the "Old Timers"

PreSeason Record: 3-0

3) Old School - have had an average Preseason schedule. So far the only 2 faults I see are their players age, and their team chemistry. Where one will improve in time, another will decline. These guys will definately be a top tier team in Alpha, but will their players age be able to hang on for 1 more season???

PreSeason Record: 3-0

4) Yorkshire Warriors - have look very solid in Preseason, giving the Gods a run for the money. Look for the Warriors to keep their homefield playoff advantage once again this season.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

5) Yukon Huskies - dont underestimate the bite of these Dogs. This is a team that can definately ride the "hot streak" and in the course of doing so pull off a Huge upset or two. Gameplan accordingly, and dont say I didnt warn yall!

PreSeason Record: 2-1

6) Wroclaw Wolverines - These arent your Rich Rodriguez's Wolverines! These guys can actually win. They are a little soft on depth but nothing major. Also a bit underleveled. But dont tell them that. These critters are sure to annoy several of the upper tier teams and dominate the lower tier ones.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

7) Alert Sentinels - These guys will struggle once again at the start of the season. But once their chemistry comes around it'll be deja vu all over ago from last season. Sleep with both eyes open if you face these guys late in the season.

PreSeason Record: 1-2

8) Mukachevo Coyotes - These guys got the chemistry to come and play, yet lack to depth to hang on for 4 quarters. Will make some noise in their AAA debut. But a quick playoff exit is imminent.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

***ON THE BUBBLE***

9) The Hague Hustlers - Dropped down from a dismal debut in Pro, these guys suffered a Huge chemistry and roster hit. However these guys did do very well when they were in AAA before. Once their chemistry gets rolling look out, as the second half of their schedule they could easily roll off 7 straight.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

10) Port City Mosquitos - welcome to AAA, however this is no AA league. Chemistry and depth plague the Mosquitos from entering into the early playoff mix, but you never know if you get bit by a Mosquito, you just start to itch later. Keep a ready eye out for these guys because you may get bit and never see it coming.

PreSeason Record: 0-3

ZETA PROJECTED PLAYOFF SEEDING:

1) Glass City Fightn' Thundercats - The Greatest Team Ever in EE??? You be the judge! The TCats are always fierce and always ready for a battle. These guys have the depth, chemistry, and gameplanning to run to a 16-0 record. However a stern test awaits the Thundercats in week 1 against a very stingy Preds team. A win over the Preds in week 1 should easily vault the Thundercats to the Team to beat in Zeta.

PreSeason Record: 3-0

2) Athens Gods - Archrivals to the Thundercats, these guys had the TCats number last season. However a few changes in their front office, make them just a schmidge behind the TCats. We probably wont find out the Zeta champ til week 15 when these 2 powerhouses clash. So hold on as much debate between the 2 teams will go on for nearly all season.

PreSeason Record: 3-0

3) Belgrade Blaze - Going out on a little limb a bit here. But these guys are literally fired up to restore their glory days in EE. After great triump back in S11, and a down year in S12 the Blaze are ready to reclaim their place among the Zeta elite. Team depth is their biggest setback currently. But thats nothing a little FA cant fix. Welcome back to the top Blaze!

PreSeason Record: 3-0

4) Barcelona Bandits - This is where it starts to get all fuzzy. A pack of AAA newcomers look to stand out from one another. And we know the Bandits have the mouth for it! A tough preseason schedule, but the Bandits are proving they can hang and belong up in AAA. Can definately see these guys claiming the Final Home Playoff Slot.

PreSeason Record: 1-2

5) Istanbul Anatolian Guard Dawgs - In the mix of the AAA newcomers, the AAA Sophomore Dawgs look to remain in the talk. The Dawgs are looking to jump into the 2nd tier teams. And they got the O-Line and RB's to do so. A very quiet, yet lethal bite they have. They wont often speak but when they do, you better go OT on your gameplan cause they'll mean business then.

PreSeason Record: 3-0

6) Athens Hoplites - An extremely seasoned team of Vets. These guys have been in AAA forever, and I do mean forever. Have always been around the lower end of the 2nd tier teams/upper of the 3rd tier. Havent quite found a way to crack into "Elite" status. Yet these guys always manage to put forth a good fight. Dont tread to lightly when you see them coming. Their pass happy offense will cause havoc so be forewarned.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

7) Black Sea Storm - This group of slow-built players can be tough for anyone to play. Yet they have the passion and talent to break off a nice upset win. Captain X has the depth and leadership to make a voice for playoff consideration.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

8) Lush Puppies - Gonna really have to step it up big time in AAA. Looks like they got the players and chemistry to compete, but will the gameplan be there??? Are the Pups ready to grow up or will they be rookie roadkill. Only time will tell, but I think the Pups will step up when they need to.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

***ON THE BUBBLE***

9) Austin Pirates - Welcome to AAA...again! Now I know you wanted to see your team higher, but you got some work to do. Must win the key battles against the 2nd/3rd tier teams to remain in the Playoff talk. Must get through the tough chemistry period, however during this time is when you'll face those 2nd/3rd tier teams. Get through them with a winning record and i'll bump you up, until then you're on the outside looking in.

10) Transylvania Bloodsuckers - Welcome to AAA. Now these guys must be scared to show their AI! There's no way you go from 19-1 to complete failure. Look for the Bloodsuckers to throw a major sucker punch in week 1, when they finally reveal their AI and gameplan. Lack of depth and chemistry will be a major blow to overcome to make the Playoffs this season.

PreSeason Record: 0-3

11) Banja Luka Boracs - Forcast; cloudy with snow and high winds. Blizzard like conditions for S13. The losses will come fast and pile up quickly, with a very brutal 1st half of the season schedule. If they can manage a .500 record or very close to that for that timeframe then look out, as they definately throw their name into the playoff talk then.

PreSeason Record: 2-1

#3 is a big challenge for the Blaze. If we can regain a top4 seed, it would have been a good comeback year after missing the playoffs. A big shakeup and a lot of new teams in the league but there is certainly some talent there.

get used to the pm's! Whenever I post rankings I pm each teams top forum agent(s) when they are uploaded.

Long way to go to steal the prize away from the TCats!

Last season, my preseason predictions were almost dead on. So be happy with the #4 seed!

just stay put in that 4th tier group and you wont get dropped back to AA! Trust me the TCats got promoted way to early in S10, and it showed our worst season ever. We got dropped back down to AA. Thats a huge morale hit if that happens. So keep your head up.

I think you did a fair assessment of Port City Mosquitos, nice job. We could go anywhere from a 5-11 to 9-7 season depending on how things bounce for us with the low chemistry. We'll see if we can catch a few teams napping cuz that seems to be the best time for mosquitos to bite.

Spokane is tier 3 imo. We're not quite a top team, but definitely not a team to be taken lightly. We proved that against Ares last season.

Wasn't that the season you lost the the Gods in the finals?
