I'm gonna try and do this a couple times this season, we'll see. If you feel the urge to to do a top 15 list at some point in this thread, you're welcome to.
Preseason Casual Prep Tier Top 15
#1: Red River Rampage - GLB Tournament is where it's at, and Red River owns the Tournament. Might as well rename the damn thing.
#2: Minnesota Junk Mailers - MJM won the Prep 1 Championship last season, but did so without going through Red River.
#3: Dallas Badgers - On any given day Dallas can beat anybody in this tier. They just haven't beaten RRR and MJM consistently enough to be ranked higher.
#4: The Glorious 55 - The new kids on the block, Glorious 55 has floundered the last two seasons, but with the flexing of some Addict muscle, the team looks to have been turned into a powerhouse overnight.
#5: Holt What I Don't Even - The builds are starting to come together, and the team is ready to play ball in Elite
#6: Junk Yard Dogs - After re-tooling the defense, the Dogs should be a pretty good team in Elite instead of the "also ran" they have been.
#7: UH OH Squad - An influx of dots has shown a stark improvement in the talent level on the team.
#8: Iron River Steelers - This hidden talent of a team has been hidden the last couple seasons in lower leagues, but these guys are about to announce their presence to Elite.
#9: Jet Nation Titans: Had a brutal schedule last season, but knocked off some talented teams to win Badger's loloffseason tourney.
#10 Darwin Desert Dingos - Same as JetNation, they found themselves in a brutal conference last season, but Darwin is a talented team.
#11: River City Ransom - Their QB will post 8,000 passing yards regardless of where he plays.
#12 New England Cowboys - A surprising early playoff loss saw New England inexplicably get bounced out of League 1 after going 15-1 in the regular season. They'll do well in their new surroundings.
#13: The Devil's Rejects - The Rejects can hang with most teams, but the top ten teams will give them fits.
#14: Tehran Twelvers - Tehran looks to be rebuilding a bit while converting the offense. That conversion has seen their stock drop mightily.
#15: Bay Area Bulls - Offseason upgrades have pushed Bay Area up a bit. They'll have to continue that upgrading to crack the top ten however.
