Pre-Season Coaches Poll

22 Coaches sent in ballots for this years Pre-Season Coaches Poll. Here is how the ranking came out…

PTS...Team_________________________First Place Votes

91.….San Diego Demolition_______________9
73.….Barbarian Horde___________________4
70.….Richey Royals_____________________5
62.….Huskers Illustrated Bugeaters________1
49.….PTT Villagers_____________________2
40.….Lizard Lick Lizard Lickers
39.….New Brunswick Scarlet Knights
34.….Tennessee Fury____________________1
20.….Memphis River Rats
18.….Philadelphia Wolves


You can’t say enough good things about the Demolition offense. Trent Richards is the studious leader of this group of all-pros. “We had a good run last year, but this off-season we really hit the gym. All that extra work during two-a-days got all of us reading off the same page,” said Richards.

Cool, calm, and collected are three words that come to mind when you think of the Barbarian Horde QB Johnny Rocket. Rocket, the highest level QB in USA A #6, finds a way to win, and he does it in a manner that looks effortless. Johnny Rocket said that he didn’t put too much into rankings, this is what he said about being ranked number 2, “In the end, the game comes down to one thing: man against man. May the best man win.”. Well said Mr. Rocket

We asked Royals owner billbates what makes Dusty Turner ,last years MVP, so good, “He’s a guy who gets up at six o’clock in the morning regardless of what time it is. 90% of the time, Seems like half the time he is one of the last guys to leave.”

The Huskers Illustrated Bugeaters are new to USA A #6, but are already getting attention. Tom Osborne once said, “I celebrate a victory when I start walking off the field. By the time I get to the locker room, I'm done.”. One thing for sure, GM MiniHusk is not a pupil of Tom Osborne. When told of the poll results, MiniHusk responded with “1. Bugeaters 2. everybody else as nobody can beat the bugeaters, they are too great.”.

Number 5 on the list is also a new team to USA A #6, the PTT Villagers. The Villagers currently have the longest winning streak in the conference, 20 games. “When you have a winning streak like our going you have to respect the streak. I haven’t washed my jock since I bought it.” said one unnamed player.

I dont know who voted for SanDiego but you guys are nuts if you'd put us at #1 lmao!
We appreciate the gesture but I wouldnt think we are anywhere near that spot. I would put a lot of teams ahead of us but really we appreciate the sentiment. We arent that good yet.

BugEaters with 1 first place vote!! Hmmm I wonder who voted for them!!!

The average broke down like this for the top five teams...

4.1.....Demolition
3.3.....Horde
3.1.....Royals
2.8.....Bugeaters
2.2.....Villagers


Points were given out like this...

1st place...5 points
2nd place...4 points
3rd place...3 points
4th place...2 points
5th place...1 point

Great work bates. We're fortunate to have you doing this.


San Diego comes in as a bit of a surprise to me at #1, but there's no doubt they're going to compete well for the title. Looks to me like HIB were a bit overrated and Scarlet Knights were underrated. It'll be interesting to see how the chips fall.

I agree that the Scarlet Knights came in underrated.

One team that was trying to slip under the radar is the Barbarian Horde, they still have players that haven't boosted, but owners still picked them to be 2nd overall.

Your suprised?!? You should see how I feel. Obviously MOST teams dont vote for themselves but I just dont think anyone really thought about it well. Last season we got BLOW OUT by the 2 teams below us, and beat abd by teams not even on that list that are still in this league.

Bates, appreciate the effort man thats awesome...I just think our place should be more like our average.

Horde is still #1 as far as im concerned because once they boost its a whoel different ball-game. I expect to play a fully boosted Horde team in week 15.

I could tell the Barbarians haven't boosted yet when I was looking through all the teams. The wolves are taking the same approach, much of our team is unboosted as well, heres hoping we actually make the playoffs and that pays off

I'm just happy the Wolves even got some votes

Nice work on the poll Bill, I know it takes a lot of effort to get stuff like this done.

YaY for the Underdogs..... again!

Ya looks good bill thanks.

I definetly expected more votes for the Slashers, I'm very surprised we got ranked above you. I think this poll just has west coast bias in general

(I had the slashers at number 6 in my rankings)

Yeah 4 of the top 5 teams are in the West.

I didn't even make a ballot. I was too busy. I know it wasn't me who voted for us.

I don't mind it! Less pressure, don't have to live up to an inflated expectation.
