With the shrinking from 4 to 3 leagues, every league got way harder.
Napoleon definitely has the strongest "top 4" (playoff teams" with PORN at #1, EEA at #3, No Name at #4 and Sperm Whales at #6. After that the league drops off a little bit. But it will be ridiculously challenging to win a title in this league.
I don't remember where OMAHA finished but Patton will be tough too - with Salty (#2)/HAHA (#5)/Virgins/BEEF (I think the latter two were also top 10).
Hannibal looks deeper - but it's not very top-heavy. At first glance it looks like CPE vs Bloody for the title again, though a few teams could play spoiler (HKD, Mannheim, Tosche, ENMU).

Going from Stobie's chart, here's where everyone finished S12.
It goes to the 12th ranked team (Sharks) before we have our first team that didn't return to the tier.
Napolean definitely has the toughest projected playoff bracket for S13. #1, #3, #4, and #8 Patton has #2, #5, #9, #10, with #11 as a wildcard for the wildcard (if that makes sense) Hannibal has #6 Eagles, #7 Bloody, #13 ENMU, #14 Mannheim, #15 Tosche, and #16 HKD all posturing with each other.
This could all change if the rushing teams (Virgins/BEEF/Mannheim) suddenly have enough SP to make defenses pay for investing more in pass defense.

When I saw the score of the Mannheim vs. BEEF game at the end of last season I instantly knew you must have forgotten to put in your run defense tactics.

Ya was working all day and knew it wasn't gonna change our status much at all. We were finishing top 10 win or lose. Didn't even know we played you till I seen the score. Playing run teams has whooped me all season because I have don't pay enough attention. Lol
With the new changes, the league realignment, the ladder change...JMan is going to be really interesting.
I'm calling Patton as the biggest wildcard league out there right now. With Virgins and BEEF, we've got two of the top three rushing teams. Patton gets a first hand look at how much damage they can now do.

Yeah I think Jman got stronger as such, Virgins and Beef could compete for the top 5 now. Extending that ''group'' to 8-10 teams I'd say
Virgins just added our 11th S*, a blitzing LB. He's only seasoned, but he's a game ahead and will hit journeyman just in time for the championship game

Going to have to drop somebody probably to afford him next season.

Honestly I think it's a waste of a superstar. It's fun tho I guess.
