Alpha: 2nd best division (could make that serious push for #1 this season)
Alpine: Full team returning minus 1 guard means great chemistry to start the season out. They have won 2 straight Alpha division titles, and are the defending league champs. VS is their main threat now that they are in town, but those 5 S*s on offense are hard to stop. Their success/failures will depend a bit on the S5 changes. Predict 2nd
Texas AM: Also a full squad coming back, but they have been out of the playoffs in Madison so staying put isn't as glamorous for Texas as it is Alpine. Did the get better by doing nothing? I don't think so. VS coming to town puts Texas in a clear 3rd place.
Victorious Secret: 4 new players on VS this season. I have to think they were upgrades, and upgrading the 2nd team in soph is scary. They will have a whole new league to contend with, and madison is harder than anywhere they came from, so it'll be a challenge, but one I think VS is ready to face. Predict 1st and Alpha champs
Shangri-la Dragons: 7 (SEVEN) S*s on the team, and yet they couldn't produce many wins last season. They have a full chem which is nice but something tells me they aren't going to cut it over here in Madison if they couldn't in their last league. 4th place in Alpha while taking some lumps here in Madison.
Beta: Blacksheep and still 3rd best division
Tortuga: 2 time defending Beta champ (both times with a losing record?). No new players = good for chemistry but bad for competitivness. If it wasn't working for 2 seasons, it's not just gonna happen now. Predict 3rd
Shell City: Put up a glorious battle for the division title but lost to the tie breakers. They picked up 6 new players this offseason, some from some agents with a history of building good players. I think they have done enough this offseason to overtake Tortuga. Predict 2nd
Gliwice Lions: Another new team to the Madison leagues, but much like VS, I think they will come in and take this division. They make Madison overall much better, and will improve the Beta division, but if they were in any of the other divisions they are fighting for the bottom. They brought in 9 new players, 3 of which are S*s, this should be enough to win this division. Predict 1st
Charlotte Strikers: CPU. Predict 4th
Gamma: The jewel of Madison (Alpha is challenging that this season)
Rhode Island: Or should we call Adderfists team the Buffalo Bills
The are the 2 time defending Gamma champs, made it to 2 straight title games, and have lost both of those title games. They only made 1 real roster change and that was adding a very solid pass defending FS. In Madison staying put could be one's downfall. The secondary built to stop D'Hara is going to hurt them with VS coming to town. I think they finally get knocked off the top. Predict 2nd
D'Haran Empire: Massive changes to the defense in D'Hara. In the pass happy league that is Madison, D'Hara decided to exchange it's 2 S* DTs for 2 S* CBs. They have also added a 2nd S* HB to the already dominating running game. The secondary has become extremely focused on the pass defense. The big question is how bad will the chemistry hits cost them early on??? Predict 1st
Stark Direwolves: My favorite book/tv show
6 new players on this team came over in the offseason, 3 of which are sophmores....how much is that going to hurt them if they see the field, or are they STOPs to save energy for the starters. Will be interesting to see, but one thing I know, it's not going to be enough to knock off the top 2 teams here. Predict 4th
Factory of Sadness: Factory will have the biggest jump in talent in Madison. They brought in all 3 S*s from D'Hara's DLine last seson, along with 8 other players. Those 11 players will help separate Factory from Stark, but will not be enough to take over the division. Predict 3rd
