Alpha Conference:

#1 Glass City Fightn' Thundercats
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B-
Season 9 Projected Record: 15-1
Team Notes: A big loss to the Blaze left doubts in the eyes of many if the Thundercats were a solid contender. But a 1 pt win over the Samurais may have redeemed them. They now have the 2nd strongest 2nd quarter schedule in Alpha. A solid showing can solidify their dominance!
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#2 Budapest Coffee Mugs
1st Quarter Record: 4-0
Team 1st Quarter Grade: A+
Season 9 Projected Record: 15-1
Team Notes: Have faced a couple of solid teams, and have really proved as a definate title threat to the Thundercats
Team Stock Value: Way UP

#3 Budapest Samurais
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C+
Season 9 Projected Record: 14-2
Team Notes: Have faced all top 3 of Alphas' teams and came away 1-2. A few adjustments can still make them a strong contender.
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#4 Western Branch Bruins
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C+
Season 9 Projected Record: 13-3
Team Notes: Have had a weak schedule so far, only tough game was a 7 pt loss to the Samurais. They need to come out of the gates firing this next quarter if they wish to remain a serious "Alpha Top Dawg"
Team Stock Value: Slightly Down

#5 Paddy Patriots
1st Quarter Record: 4-0
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C-
Season 9 Projected Record: 12-4
Team Notes: Have had a very weak schedule so far, only tough game was a 3 pt win over Jax Beach in OT. Another weak 4 games ahead! Are they for real??
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#6 Jax Beach B.O.H.I.C.A
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C-
Season 9 Projected Record: 11-5
Team Notes: Have had a so-so schedule so far, only tough game was a 3 loss to the Pats in OT! Lucky for them they get 2 of Alphas' top 4 teams coming up!
Team Stock Value: Slightly Down

#7 Bucharest Bulls
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B-
Season 9 Projected Record: 9-7
Team Notes: Have started to impress the league slightly, but they can only go as far as a 1st round playoff loss! At least you can say you made the postseason!
Team Stock Value: Slightly UP

#8 Transylvania Impalers
1st Quarter Record: 0-4
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C-
Season 9 Projected Record: 8-8
Team Notes: Battle for the #8 seed still remains a toss-up but I think they have the best chance. They have had the most brutal schedule in Alpha so far, but gets easier for next quarter.
Team Stock Value: Slightly Down

#9 Transylvanian Crypt Kickers
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C-
Season 9 Projected Record: 7-9
Team Notes: Battle for the #8 seed still remains a toss-up but I think they have a good chance. Their lack of Defense will make them easy pickings for the higher tier Alpha Teams.
Team Stock Value: Slightly UP

#10 Black Sea Pirates
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C-
Season 9 Projected Record: 6-10
Team Notes: Battle for the #8 seed still remains a toss-up but I think they have a chance. Their inconsistant play makes them a true Wildcard, and an easy "BYE" week for whoever the top seed is in Alpha!
Team Stock Value: Slightly UP

#11 Berlin Devil Dogs
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D+
Season 9 Projected Record: 6-10
Team Notes: Yall know Jaime Foxx's new song blame it on the alcohol! Well their team motto is blame it on the AI...I smell a duet coming!
Team Stock Value: Way Down

#12 Sacramento Storm
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D-
Season 9 Projected Record: 5-11
Team Notes: High expectations = flop. This team is like a fish out of water! Someone throw em' back in!
Team Stock Value: Way Down

#13 Mildenhall Grim Reapers
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D
Season 9 Projected Record: 3-13
Team Notes: What happened to a former Dynasty?? I think lack of caring, or time.
Team Stock Value: Slightly Down

#14 Danish Disasters
1st Quarter Record: 1-13
Team 1st Quarter Grade: F
Season 9 Projected Record: 3-13
Team Notes: What a difference a season makes! Gotta win more than 3 games, or they may end back up in the minors!
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#15 Berlin Raiders
1st Quarter Record: 0-4
Team 1st Quarter Grade: F
Season 9 Projected Record: 1-15
Team Notes: At least they arent CPU...yet
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#16 London Wildcats
1st Quarter Record: 0-4
Team 1st Quarter Grade: F-
Season 9 Projected Record: 0-16
Team Notes: Flatout Suck
Team Stock Value: No Movement

Team 1st Quarter Grade: A+
Season 9 Projected Record: 16-0
Team Notes: WOW, have just flatout dominated their competition! They have a tough 4 games upcoming!
Team Stock Value: Way UP

#2 Belgrade Blaze
1st Quarter Record: 4-0
Team 1st Quarter Grade: A
Season 9 Projected Record: 15-1
Team Notes: A strong showing so far, but has their flaw been exposed?? A close game against the Cossacks says yes!
Team Stock Value: No Movement

#3 Transylvania Terror
1st Quarter Record: 4-0
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B+
Season 9 Projected Record: 14-2
Team Notes: Have arisen as a serious title threat, but can they keep it going?? A solid win over the Javelinas says yes!
Team Stock Value: Way UP

#4 New Jersey Mafia
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B-
Season 9 Projected Record: 12-4
Team Notes: Have they solved their defensive struggles, looks like it. They have the highest overall player levels in the league. Watch out for these guys..they seem to be getting better every week!
Team Stock Value: Moderately UP

#5 Terlingua Javelinas
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B
Season 9 Projected Record: 12-4
Team Notes: A disappointing season so far, and it doesnt get any easier. They have the toughest stretch of 4 games in Zeta coming up! A true test for them. Can they get back on track, or will the season and Title hopes continue to slip away??
Team Stock Value: Moderately Down

#6 Istanbul Anatolian Guard Dawgs
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B
Season 9 Projected Record: 11-5
Team Notes: Back to their old season 8 form. A close win over the Rats have really made them turn heads. Now we can see how they truly stack up over a good 2nd quarter schedule!
Team Stock Value: Way UP

#7 Kiev Cossacks
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C
Season 9 Projected Record: 10-6
Team Notes: Had a brutal 1st quarter schedule, and are starting to make me a believer. But still dont see them getting out of the 1st round yet...
Team Stock Value: Moderately UP

#8 Macedonia Marauders
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: C
Season 9 Projected Record: 9-7
Team Notes: In their 2 losses they played tough. But still have much to prove!
Team Stock Value: Moderately UP

#9 Spokane River Rats
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D
Season 9 Projected Record: 8-8
Team Notes: WTF has happened. A preseason favorite to contend for a Title and has yet to deliver. Is Steve Bartman in the stands? Is the team curse from Season 8 carrying over?? Have lost 3 straight Zeta games and have a so-so 2nd quarter schedule coming. This teams needs to reel off a 4-0 run or a playoff ticket to their couch will become inevitable!
Team Stock Value: Way Down

#10 Draguignan Dragons
1st Quarter Record: 2-2
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D+
Season 9 Projected Record: 6-10
Team Notes: Can be a menace if they desire, but have lost "THE EYE OF THE TIGER"! It appears they have become civilized and just want to enjoy their "AA" competiton.
Team Stock Value: Moderately Down

#11 Caspian Sea Dragons
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: D+
Season 9 Projected Record: 5-11
Team Notes: A true lack of gameplanning is the case here. When they want to they can be a force, but inconsistant play can only land you in the lower tier in Zeta
Team Stock Value: Slightly Down

#12 Ukrainian Warheads
1st Quarter Record: 3-1
Team 1st Quarter Grade: B
Season 9 Projected Record: 4-12
Team Notes: A soft 1st quarter schedule makes me a doubter. Have a lot to prove!
Team Stock Value: Way Down

#13 Chernobyl Nuclear Assault
1st Quarter Record: 1-3
Team 1st Quarter Grade: F
Season 9 Projected Record: 3-13
Team Notes: Instant BYE week for Zeta, just like a old person driving "GET OUT OF THE WAY"
Team Stock Value: No Movement

We shall see Thunder. I'm just wondering if you realize that you and I play same teams every other game. That would mean outside of the 1st game we have roughly played same schedule..right? Anyway I would have to give #1 to Coffee Mugs because they are undefeated at this point. I don't think we will end up in 4th, but have at your predictions. I lost in OT to Samurais, and you won by 1. I think this year will be one that will change #1 possibly week after week.

On the Zeta side, I believe that Belgrade is #1 seed(not to take anything away from the Romans). Do you have grudge because they kicked the *hit out of you guys? Just wondering. Outside of that it looks pretty good!

no grudge against the Blaze, just the Romans are killin' their competiton! so they are only %pts ahead of the Blaze currently

as far as my predicitons well here remember this game http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=323257 I think you still hold a grudge from that game!

Plus the playoffs are an entirely different season as both you and I saw 1st hand last season on the Zeta side, so taking 4th in the regular season doesnt mean squat really. Look at the Hell Raisers..my point exactly its anyone's game come the postseason even if you just run the HB slam all game cough cough

They now have the strongest 2nd quarter schedule in Alpha ................#1 Thundercats and I ask how?

I play the same teams (Thundercat predictions)#6 Jax Beach B.O.H.I.C.A, #1 Thundercats, #2 Budapest Coffee Mugs, and #7 Bucharest Bulls. I think we have the toughest 2nd quarter!;p You play #16, #4 Bruins(my team), #6 Jax Beach B.O.H.I.C.A, and #2 Budapest Coffee Mugs. So how is it possible for you to have toughest 2nd quarter? I just wanted to point that out to you.

Spokane has struggled, but there's no way we're as low as #9. We've been getting royally screwed by the t/o bs this season. We'll face the same teams in the playoffs and take them out.

We know the Romans are a great team. They beat us solidly last season and i certainly expected the Finale against them to be one of the toughest of the season. You claim we had no movement in our rankings when in reality you dropped us down one. for the time being though i do feel a swap of 1 and 2 is warranted and the Blaze should remain the #1 seed based on original predictions and maintaining an undefeated record.

First off I love the write up great job. I think you are likely right on the assessment of us. I was thinking we would be 2-2 or 3-1 at this point but I thought we would have beat the Sea Dragons from zeta and lose one of our last two games. We will be battling to get into the playoffs this season. We play your #3 and #4 teams over the next 4 games. We could go anywhere between 1-3 and 3-1. I would love to go 3-1 over the next four. If we go 2-2 we will be in decent shape for the playoffs as we have some gimme's coming up in the second half. The thing that I love about AA is there is less of a difference int the top 10 teams of the league than in A. There are much fewer games that are a lock. I figure that we will be int he bottom half of the playoffs but really we could pull an upset or two.

I see us going anywhere from 8-8 to 12-4. I think that a goal of 10 wins would be good for us. and then we can win a couple of games in the playoffs.

im not really gonna hit too hard on the team stock value for your teams case, and here's why! You guys went 4-0, so thats a plus but the quality of play wasnt as good in those wins so even though you dropped a spot from my original rankings you are still 4-0 so basically no movement. Hope you can understand!
