Warrior General Games

And we're down to four:

1) Sudbury Spartans
They possess the longest win streak in the league and continue winning by convincing margins. Now, they go up against one of the two teams that beat them in the regular season: QC Black Cats. This will be their toughest challenge yet in the postseason, and whichever team wins gets promoted to Canada AA.

2) Queen City Black Cats
They once again beat the formidable Nebraska Husker Maniacs, again doing so convincingly. This sets up what has clearly been the two best teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Black Cats need to find the formula they used to beat Sudbury in the regular season, but finding that formula again isn't going to be easy.

3) Vancouver Vindicators
I must confess, I never thought they'd be here at the beginning of the season, but here they are. They are a very good team, and the only top 5 western team that has not suffered a upset in the playoffs. Can they pull off one more against the upstart Beavers? They beat them 38-20 in the regular season, but that was early on and both teams have evolved greatly. This should be a very intriguing game.

4) Saskatchewan Beavers
The underdogs keep pulling it out, but this time they had to come from behind. 14 4'th quarter points sent them to the next round as their defense stepped up and shut out Manitoba in the 2'nd half. Can they keep this current win streak alive and advance? It'll be interesting to find out.

Wow Dan the only comments missing is something on the lines of the winner between Spartans and QCBC will be the next GLB Champion. As they will mightily beat whatever team comes out of the west.

Your favoritism for the East sometimes really takes away from what is usually some very great commentary on your part.

If you feel Spartans having the longest win steak (10) as being a reason to list them as #1 over QCBC then Vindicators with the 8 game win streak should be listed as #2.

One thing I wont argue with is that the Beavers should be 4th. We got as many losses this season as all 3 of those teams combined. However rankings dont win games so I look forward to the challenge of facing the Vindicators. I think its going to be a great matchup of 2 great coordinators.

Just imagine if we had more than 2 days for this game the conversation that would take place between G-men and B3I3R.

He's not basing this completely on win streak...

He's just pointing out that he thinks Sudbury and QC are better than the 2 Western Conf. teams, but it's Sudbury's win streak that puts them at 1 instead of 2.

The Beavers - as well as your postseason run is going - had the worst regular season record of any of these 4 times, and although they have won 2 straight playoff games against higher ranked teams, QC's and Sudbury's wins have been more convincing in terms of total points.

You do realize that you're basically being listed as a top 4 team in the entire league, and you're arguing with that?

How do you see favoritism? When you are down to four teams, the difference between the 3 and 1 or the 4 and 2 shouldnt be that much, so its hard to say "_____ team deserves the top spot...," it could go either way. You already conceited that the Beavers should be the 4th seed, so the difference between the 1-3 rankings isnt that much where you could argue favoritism towards any of the teams.

All Dan said was that whoever wins the Sudbury and Queen City game gets promoted to Canada AA. You know both teams that manage to make it in the championship game (not the conference champ game) gets promoted, winner and loser, so I dont see any bias in that. Its the fact. Someone has to win from the Sudbury/Queen City conf. champ game. He didnt say Sudbury was for sure going to win the whole thing outright...

I thought all the comments for the West were valid and to the point, except maybe that first line for the Vindicators, but that is why Dan does the rankings, so he can give his opinion.

I agree completely with Dan's rankings and analysis. I didn't think we'd get this far honestly but we're well run and have some great builds. It hasn't hurt that gman has disappeared since school went back in, lol. :X

Good stuff Dan !!!!

It will be a great matchup between our teams on sunday night. Good Luck and may the best team win(and hopefully win the championship too, but the West is very strong).

Haha...didn't even think about that...

a1, it's not a matter of me giving preference to the East because I'm in it. Winner of each conference get's promoted, so just because I said either QC or Sudbury will get promoted does NOT mean I said they will win the championship. The same goes for Vancouver--Beavers, like EP said. My rankings are partially based on how they've played recently--and let's face it, QC and Sudbury have had more convincing playoff wins than any team in the west-- and also their relative strength on paper. Don't forget that I had a western team ranked #1 all season long (starting with the Vikings then going to the Sasquatches).

Stupid question Dan but I dont see a consistent number that will work from A upto Pro getting both conference winners to move up. Is their a link to a thread that explains it.

The only way I can picture it working is
A Top 2 in each league goes up
AA Top 2 in each league goes up and bottom 4 go down
AAA Top 2 in each league go up & bottom 4 go down
Pro Bottom 4 go down

That is exactly what happens

Those Beavers are gonna be a tough game and we won't overlook them. They beat two teams we failed to beat. Gonna be a tough game that we'll win. Guarenteed.


Oh and btw I told you guys before the season to expect us here but no one believed me

How much money did you want to bet?

G-Men you just had to start it didn't you?

I thought you went MIA about 8 games ago and hence that is why your team is on that 8 game win streak?
