Bomb Squad shouldn't be in the top five. I don't think you know how loaded OPRO is if you think you can waltz in and join the elite without having played a game.

That's not to say you won't end up there. I have no idea where you'll end up. You've got a talented team, but I would honestly be surprised if you ended up in the top 5 by season's end.

Bottom line: prove yourself before praising yourself.

week 1 you have chance to change that if we play by bcs rankings


Should be a fun matchup. Great game for week 1.

Dude, relax. Just joking around. I have no doubt OPRO is full of challenges. Best of luck.

Tongan Crimson Auha.... hmmmm.... doesn't really recruit.... somewhat of a secretive team... very challenging league...

Honestly, it seems like more last-season AAA teams are near the top than PRO teams. Guess we shouldn't expect much if you took 30 sec for each team though.


Saipan at 15? Comon now...they've never even made the playoffs. Levels aren't everything.

I don't think you realize how good Bomb Squad is. I think they will likely be the 2nd-best team in Alpha, maybe 3rd.

P.S. teams that got promoted last year (conference champions in particular) should be ranked high. They already displayed an ability to win a conference, and Pro is not so much better than AAA (especially AAA1; I think AAA2 is still a little bit behind still) that performance in that league doesn't matter.

Hey I made the playoffs in the first season and in fact the championship game. Oh yeah that was in AAA and before I got slammed with the chemistry penalties while recruiting humans and dumping the CPUs and moving into the PROs. Heck I did not even realize we moved into the Pros or the chemistry rule until week 4 - got to carried away trying to get humans on the team and did not pay attention to the forums. Learned a valuable lesson. LOL

Ya better watch out for us - we are hungrier than any other team in the League

I've scouted Bomb Squad extensively while they were in AAA. They are a very good team, and a team that we will put a lot of effort into beating. That being said, I don't think they are better than Mean Machine or West Scranton. I look forward to putting my own team against them. I also know that the 'Nites, the Thorny Devils, the Heat and the Kava Sharks in Zeta are at least as good if not better than the Squad.

This season will be fun to see things shake down at the top of Alpha. I think Mean Machine and West Scranton are the clear front runners. After that, I'd put BS and Tonga even and fighting for the third spot.

i don't know about that. we hungry.
7-2, 15-1, 15-1, 14-2, 14-2 those are our records season 1 and on. and nothing to show for it. conf. champ loss season 1. then 4 straight 2nd round losses. 3x to the same team gah. we hungry all right.

that list is all kinds of wrong

The list is interesting in that it ignores the past performance of most of the teams in Pro last year. There are teams listed in the 20's that would be top 10 or top 5 based off last years results. Kudos for doing it though, it takes some guts.
