With the playoffs over, season 8 is coming to an end. We saw Air Raid climb to the #1 slot, MMA fly up the ladder, and a ton of great games. Last year's Pro crop only snuck two teams into the top 15. Rhode Island made a notable climb up to #20, D'Haran looked like a top 20 team but they are on their way out and along with DC. Plenty of Vet teams on their way out, but the Pro teams coming in is very top heavy. The top 4, excluding #1 The Boogie Men (who are inactive), are top 10 caliber teams coming into next season, as well as some solid teams to round out the group.
Obviously these are all my opinion, plus I have no clue exactly what is going to happen in the offseason. http://media.giphy.com/media/qxlwYZ5HA7VMk/giphy.gif
#1 - Air Raid - The champs, they have been nearly unstoppable. http://media.giphy.com/media/LndpXQstYDN9C/giphy.gif But they are going to go through a mini-rebuild, as they have a few guys hitting legendary. Replacing 5-10 players isn't ideal, but their offensive core isn't going anywhere, so they won't have much trouble keeping up with everyone trying to catch them. http://media.giphy.com/media/zVPVgrfEYqaDS/giphy.gif
#2 Minnesota Stunners - Steve Madden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKZm58yEJqI No not the creator of the ugly girl shoe. The two people who can gameplan with the best of them. A season ago they were looking like the best team in game by far being a season behind. This season has been a little wonky for them, but even so, they are so consistent and have everyone returning. They aren't going anywhere. http://media.giphy.com/media/ZaSbMdh6sCgWA/giphy.gif
#3 MMArmy Can Crushers - The love/hate crew made a name for themselves this season after chasing a perfect season starting off 24-0. They've beat both Air Raid and the Stunner, and lost to each of them, as well as a late loss to the Starks last ladder match. They have a handful of guys that are inactive or heading to legendary. Doubt it will set them back much at all. http://media.giphy.com/media/KySymGAt2SJmE/giphy.gif

#4 The Salty Runback - I could have easily pinned salty at #2. They have everyone coming back, they just beat the Stunners a few days ago, and continue to lose in the playoff. Best team ever without a superstar. We will likely never see another team like them. http://media.giphy.com/media/Cj3Ce7e8h2EKY/giphy.gif
#5 Rhode Island Falcons - Outside of those 4, it's hard to judge. Regardless Adder's boys are coming off a two loss season. Had them lower because they whole Oline hasn't been resigned yet, but I'm assuming they will. They had some close wins, but a 2 loss season deserves respect. Their pass only offense is right up there with some of the best http://media.giphy.com/media/mI7p0G4N2GLU4/giphy.gif
#6 I've Never Had Sex - They don't gameplan, nor do they have to. First team to Veteran with a pure running QB at the helm (no GL only garbage). They are going to give passing teams trouble, but they will struggle if they don't switch things up somewhat against top 5 teams http://media.giphy.com/media/5VIjIJ9YO5lyU/giphy.gif
#7 Run GLB - Never sure where to place my own team. We have some problems, just had our S*TE retire, a Dual Threat QB sound's better in theory, and a lot of my guys are missing boosts. But my balanced offense is solid, and I think my defense is good. http://media.giphy.com/media/v18xOnxDRt8aI/giphy.gif
#8 Alaskan Assassins - Superstar packed pass heavy offense. Not sure what they are changing up for next season, have a few expiring contracts, but they are a top 10 caliber team, and probably the scariest offense in the game on paper. http://media.giphy.com/media/CnErThMyAIZZC/giphy.gif
#9 Doinitin Djibouti 2.0 - Their defense is stellar. Rumor has it they are adding his superstar WR to the mix. Scary squad, about to get scarier. Parab00n's first team to Veteran. http://media.giphy.com/media/EH2rY2fq7YrHq/giphy.gif
#10 Harrisonburg Bulldogs - Harrisonburg is going to try to pull off a big rebuild or "reload" as Tdiddy will call it. Sources say Tdiddy is planning another cruise for the first month of next season due to his team's chemistry issues. They'll win 20-24 games, but they peaked, I have my doubts that they are going to be better than they were this season. http://media.giphy.com/media/CV0mbiP0hfLos/giphy.gif

Some honorable mentions (In Order): http://media.giphy.com/media/gOnd03UWo6hG0/giphy.gif
Stark Dire Wolves - Dangerous team, still have some contracts they have to sure up.
Portland Ronin - Still good, but nothing special anymore. Their #5 ranking atm doesn't really reflect their 18-11 record this season.
Rusty's Ruins - totally forgot about them. However adding Sugar Honey and Poe will sure be helpful
Gatling Valley Pirates - #4 best season 3 team after Dharan and DC fold. They are good, not great, but they'll hang.
New York Nightmare - A quite surprise this season. Have tons of expiring contracts, but they need a little love.
The Boogie Men - Will they somehow return? We shall see.
Portland Storm - Solid Pro team.
Fort Collins Stoners - Got a lot better, even though their owner is too high to ever understand http://media.giphy.com/media/tlVO4Doaly3Li/giphy.gif
Coming Back for one more.....lol
