Now this is cool. Seven games into the season and look at the Ladder matchups still to come for the LogZilla Boys:

#2 Richmond Raiders
#4 Default Name
#5 Flying Spaghetti Monsters
#6 Ground Assault
#8 WCW
#9 DA
#11 TT's
#12 DD
#13 Parental Aadvisory
#14 Tampa Sandmen

League (so non-Ladder)
#3 Madison Bulldogs rematch upcoming
#7 Providence Radicals
#10 Milwaukee Beers

Which means that with 13 Ladder games to go, I still have to face the next 10 teams ranked highest on the Ladder AND have 3 games still to go with 3 Top 10 teams through League play.

With 23 games to go, there are at least 13 meaningful games for me to play and that doesn't include a lower ranked team putting together a good game plan and giving me a good match-up/ stealing a win.

It also means that everyone from #2-#14 gets a shot at taking me down. This is a huge improvement.

I have no idea what record/Ladder rank we'll finish with, but everyone is in this with over two-thirds of the games to go.

Yup, these changes have improved the game greatly. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out.

So how many loses will the #1 Vet Ladder team end up with? I am going with 4 loses or ties.

Who knows, could be more, seems like there are so many quality teams duking it out.

4ish losses for #1 end of season sounds about right

I would guess 3. Hard to way more than 4. 5 would be a 83 percent win rate. NFL has a lot more parity than GLB and 13-3 regular season is very reasonable.

My guess is 3 as well. I also expect it to come down to the wire just like rookie last season. Plenty of excitement to come!

vet teams this season won't play CPU ladder games end of season like previous years, which leads to a higher chance at a ladder loss, so I'm going to say 4.

#1 and #2 last season had 3 losses each I think

still think there should have been SOME kind of ELO carry-over from last season, even if it was a small amount. Still haven't seen a team with less losses ranked worse than a team with more, which at this point there should be a few

I'd say 4 easily and I won't be surprised by a team stealing the ladder trophy from a team with a better record due to a late season loss or a playoff loss. The last 3-4 games should be very fun.

It may not be fair, but Vet was the most boring tier by far until this season.

Definitely the best change by far. But the next step is figuring out a more fair chemistry solution.

It's silly because fixing chem is just so simple.

Sign days 1-5 of season: start at 65

Sign days 6-10: Start at 50

Sign days 11-20: start at 20

Sign days 21+: start at 0

That is still 10+ games before hitting 100. But that would be better anyways.
