Budapest Coffee Mugs - #9 is a joke. They are better than that. They will be around for the post-season and will likely be the higher seed in round 1

Berlin Devil Dogs - #8 is silly. They aren't a playoff team, not even close.

WOW, appreciate the vote of confidence. TBH i'm expecting/hoping more like a 13-3 season. quite a few teams i wouldn't put past to give us a good run. even something down like 11-5 i could see possible but we'll see how it all goes. We'll give it our all though. Great Job, hard to do preseason rankings. Looking forward to the updates along the way.

I admire you for taking the time to do this. While I am sure many teams feel you dont know jack about their team. It is damn near impossible to get a handle on all teams especially after not being around many teams due to promotions and just looking at Preseason games that many guys feel arent worth a damn anyways. Besides you exluding my team from the playoffs, good job.

Teams change season to season, so yes, it's impossible to gauge how a team will fair from preseason games that aren't gameplanned. On the whole, I'd actually have to agree with the majority of his predictions. I don't know if I see much separation in Alpha as the top few teams are more than likely going to run away with things. Zeta, however, is going to be extremely fierce, imo. Teams that lack depth better turn their recruiting efforts into high gear or they are going to see a good amount of their games be tight as balls for 3 quarters only to get demolished in the 4th.
