IC has never missed the Pro playoffs either, only we were called the Cairns Pistons in season 1.
However, we have yet to make it past round 2 in the playoffs.

Those rankings are very interesting. That's probably what the majority would agree with right now right? I'm surprised BDC is considered a non-playoff team. They did just win a championship you know. Oh well.

I don't think the majority would agree...honestly, Zeta conference is just too tough to call. There isn't a cupcake on the schedule and good teams that are used to making the playoffs will miss this season -- just the way it will be. I think Alpha is a bit easier to call because of the guts at the bottom, but there are still enough good teams there to shake up the bottom half of the playoffs.

As for BDC - sure, they just won a championship. Great team there, and I have a lot of respect for them. But the teams I've placed above them aren't slouches.

Nites - 3 straight PRO championship appearances, 2 PRO championships
IC - No championships, but they did just bring in a boatload of talent from the disbanded Rawle Tech Titans, a team that never missed the PRO playoffs
Heat - Regular season Zeta champions for two straight seasons, AAA#2 champion in season 3
Kava Sharks - Marched up to PRO in straight seasons, always a top playoff team, still in search of a gold trophy
Gods - Season 1 PRO champs, always in the playoff mix, beat the Nites last season in the regular season
Gangsters - 16-0 in regular season AAA#1 last season, upset in the playoffs. On paper, they boast one of the strongest rosters and if the gameplanning improves look out.
Thorny Devils - Followed the Kava Sharks tradition, promoting in straight seasons. Made the PRO conference final in their first PRO season
Convicts - AAA#2 championship finalists, very strong club and dedicated owner
Stingers - Straight promotion to the PRO's just like Melbourne, playoff team in first PRO season

I have BDC significantly higher, but other than that it is pretty close to what I have. Drop down or bump up a team a spot or two here and there and it is identical.

Very close to my rankings as well.
I have BDC above the Stingers as of now.

SCACE's rankings are exactly as I would have, with the only exception being that I would have BDC 8, Convicts 9 and so on.

I agree that the new teams are very competitive and teams moving up have consistently faired well, however, there are not any teams in Zeta that don't belong here anymore and teams like MM, 'Nites, Sharks, MTD, Heat, etc. have all won championships BEATING the new arrivals in past seasons, so it is only fair to rank them ahead until proven otherwise.

Hmm could have sworn Vanuatu went 15-1 last season in Oceania Pro and we're ranked 19 in the OP's Pre-season poll??


Madness.

I'd bet my life you're wrong.

Don't do it, you've got so much to live for!

I particularly enjoyed the fact that he had Mean Machine ranked #8 overall and his own club, Fakafao ranked #9 overall.

In the real world Mean Machine is #1, at worst #2, and after they play Mean Machine today Fakafao will probably be around #9... in Alpha.

That was the closest anyone has played MM in a meaningful OPL game this season.

Fakaofo is still really good (though obviously not as good as Mean Machine).

That was an awesome job by Fakaofo and maybe I should state clearly that they are a badass team and I did not intend to mock them, just the OP.
