Really? TKW is the only team that would have any shot of staying close, let alone winning. Plus Nashville just got dominated by Lincoln today, and Manitoba is barely ready to promote into the WL, forget about challenging Bon (really weak CPL, plus losses to a mediocre Manus team and a decent Stuggart team, etc.)
First, my post was before today's sims. Second, I'm more suggesting teams that have "earned" a shot at the PTT rather than who I think can actually win - the teams with the best chances of beating Bonn this season have already played them once and lost, imo. So we're at a point where we're either giving teams a repeat shot at the PTT, or we scrape the barrel a bit. Given the original design of the PTT giving shots to teams from each pro league at some point, I decided to start looking around rather than saying give MEM/Drygeria/HHW/Cinci a chance (all of whom would really rather wait until the playoffs to play Bonn).
Taking an undefeated pro league team still makes as much sense as anything, really. Who instead of Manitoba? GRitS? Cascade? Pa Dong? Bonn's just beaten too many teams already, but you've got to pick someone. Manitoba at least has beaten some of the other teams I looked at with undefeated league records (Hounds, GRitS), so maybe they get to be the #1 pro challenger at this stage, even if they'll get curb stomped.
Basically, at this point, whomever anyone suggests, you can come along and say "LOL dumb choice" because they're all dumb choices. So which team is the least dumb choice? TKW? Manitoba? Drinkin? Whoever wins the Coke #1 bracket?
