Okay I'm only doing this because I'm bored and waiting for the season to start is driving me crazy. I've used as much science as throwing darts at a dart board while blindfolded to come up with these rankings . So if you don't like your spot throw your own darts. So let's see where the first dart is going.

WEST
1. the Whalers - Quality players, great management, and super stats
2. the Thunderchiefs - great players, tough defense, strong management
3. the Fish - surprise - high levels, solid defense, but this team could slip
4. the Lions - surprise again - High lvls put this team here, but management must prove it belongs here
5. Arroz Con Pollo - Good levels, great management , this team could move up
6. the Bucks - very good running game and solid defense puts this team in the 6 spot
7. the Dragons - hate to rate my own team - hot passing game and okay management
8. Moose Jaw - good passing team, good management
9. the Biscuits - good team that could move up just not sure there stats are that impressive coming out of the BBB leagues.
10. the Pub Crawlers -I like that name ! read #9
11. the Falcons - they put up great stats but there levels aren't there. they could fool me but I think they will struggle here
12. the Bison - the bison are in the same boat as the Falcons, they need time to improve
13. the Thunderbolts - this team has potential but never seems to put it together
14. The Police - I don't think this team is this bad but somebody has to be 14th, prove me wrong Police
15. the Lizards - cupcakes
16. the Irukandii - cupcakes


EAST
1. the Jakes - high levels, solid defense, and a running game that nobody can stop
2. the Six - geat passing game, good management, maybe the best of the rest
3. Versailies - good offense, adequate defense but stuck in a pack of teams below the Jakes
4. Wolverines - great running game and run defense, could move even higher
5. Nova Scotia - a good team that is stuck in the pack . My guess is that Bender will find a way to get to the 5 spot
6. the copperheads - Again this is a good team in a pack of teams, I like there passing game but will it hold up here
7. the Vipers - very solid running game, this team could move up out of the pack
8. 6 Year Plan - Great defense, if they can find enough offense they could move to the top of the pile up.
9. the Hitmen - good levels, but it takes more than levels to win
10. the stompers - have a ways to go to compete here
11. Nighthawks - Might move up to make the playoffs
12. panthers - need defense
13. Rum Runners - just not ready for prime time
14. the Stormtroopers - a team that seems to get a little worse each year
15. SCIM - cupcake
16. Doom - cupcake

there you have it the picks by oldbaldone. And who's going to win it all you ask ! I'll tell you then. It's

You think every BBB team that got promoted is going to roll on through those of us who have been here?

My fave West team to get to the finals are the Thunderchiefs.

And wow, you love the recent BBB teams a lot.

Who's NOT.....SCIM

And yes I think that the Six and the Wolverines have a very good chance at winning seasons. I have not looked at anybody else yet but am very confident, not cocky, in our team. Good luck to everybody this season.

Nice intro, lol. I wish people remembered this more after someone has taken the time to give the masses some reading & banter material. (not directed at any comments currently in this thread)

The preseason rankings are always the toughest. Promotion teams come in with shiny records and winning streaks, so they always seem to get a bump against similar incumbents. But we'll know soon enough (or at least in the near future) how well the promos adapt to the new league.

Thanks for taking the time, OBO.

Bleeds, if my team can beat yours what makes you think these BBB teams aren't going to kick your butt to. Actually the east is tight and every game is going to be tough. Of the 16 teams there are 9 about equal in players and depth. Any of those 9 could land anywhere so throw your own darts ! Just be sure to put the blindfold on first and a couple of Buds makes it even more fun.

I wasn't being critical of our placement, just a general observation of your list, at least in the east.


You beat us 9-12 and I had players playing on the opposite side of the ball, and others way OOP. (DE at HB, LB at TE, DT at MLB). If that's not enough to indicate my lack of care for that game, the other team I DC was in the League Champ game the same day. And if that's not enough, check out my new finalized roster on defense. You can also add 3 levels to every single person on the team as soon as we roll to the new season.

6YP will be fine. You know how we got into this league? Beating all those teams before... We were 29-1 in that league. Not saying anything is a given, but to think we've forgotten how to win is laughable.

Versailles isn't to be underestimated.. they still play zone but it's not the same zone from 2 seasons ago and the personnel run it extremely well. They don't talk a lot but they are actually pretty nice guys.

Whalers are top notch, and despite rob's best efforts to distract people from his learning disability, are pretty stand up too.

Aw Bleeds, I was just kidding you. You have a great defense. Just find a little more offense. I didn't plan for our game ether. I did take the players that were leaving off the rooster and use my back ups at there positions. And I used a DT and DE at linebacker to. But hey were cool. Didn't I mention your team could move all the way to the top. The BBB teams are pretty well equal level wise with us so it isn't going to be easy going for any of us left here.

Like I said, I wasn't questioning our spot, just the general idea that it's going to be all BBB promotes at the top in the east. We don't expect to be at the top, I just felt some other teams were being underrated due to playing in a harder conference this past year, vice the BBBabies getting to have inflated records (much like we all did after Season 6).

I couldn't tell if you were serious about our scrimmage, so I ran with serious. I know that no one takes those seriously, but you sounded like it was a real justification...Sorry.

And yea, the BBB squads do look to be rather solid. It's a whole new ball game when you're consistently facing higher levels of competition, though. They all just went from playing 2 or 3 challenging games a year to 7 or 8 by virtue of moving up and the best teams from the two leagues being shoved into one. Hell, we may finish 7th, but we will be a much better 7th than whoever is a league below us.

Owner of the wolverines here! Glad to see the teams in a5 respect the other teams in this league unlike the trash talking from down below. We will try our best to be competative.

I tried to figure in the fact that the numbers from the BBB teams were inflated but until they play here nobody really knows by how much. some of the numbers were just so huge you have to figure they are ready to play here. And hey half the teams that came up last season are in AA now. Well maybe not half but you know what I mean.
