Warrior General Games

In light of GE's amazing run through rookie thus far, thought we'd revive this thread and see who's left, 7 - 8 games in:

Veteran

Central Falcons

Professional

Erkner Razorbacks

Journeyman

No Name
I've Still Never Had Sex
San Diego Sperm Whales

Seasoned

Game of Zones
Fury

Sophomore

Santa Ana Commando Killer Squad
Air Farce
Strange Music

Rookie

1980's Super Villains
Hall of Fame


I don't think Central or Erkner can run the gauntlet in their respective tiers. No Name and San Diego would each have to face each other/PORN twice more (plus a whole host of other really good teams) to run the gauntlet - don't think it's possible. Virgins would also be in a tough spot having not faced PORN, No Name, EEA, and others.

Leaves us in the bottom three tiers:

Fury and Game of Zones are in the same league. As such, they will face each other at least once (very possibly twice). A split would take them out of the running. Additionally, they will start facing J-man teams. Not sure if they will be facing any of the top 10 of the J-man teams but that would be tough draws for them. I'm going to guess neither makes it through the season undefeated.

Sophomore - SACKS and Strange Music are in the same league - which means one of them will be knocked off eventually. I could see SACKS running the league table again (especially with such a dominating win over Attica, a previous league winner) including a win over Strange Music, but I can't see SACKS pulling out a W against every team in the tier, especially having had two very close games already (including a game vs Geneva where SACKS was significantly out-yarded). Air Farce is a possibility if they can get past Strange Music today.

Rookie - I don't think there's ever a hope in hell that a rookie team will run the gauntlet. There's just too much randomness in rookie - and a lot of rookie games come down to playcalling. Hall of Fame has had an impressive run so far but has only played one top 10 team thus far. And GE's Villains.... they've had some really close games. Don't see them pulling it off either.

My prediction is that no team goes undefeated - but if one does, it will be Game of Zones.

Think SACKS or GoZ/fury are my favourites for it.

Air farce I think we will get upset once at least due to mine and sov. laziness

fuckin punter

i dont think GoZ will go undefeated... They are the best team in the tier, I just think someone beats them.




Fury and GoZ will probably play each other 3-4 times depending on the playoffs and ladder matchups, seasoned is a small tier so that could happen.

GoZ will go down once or twice at least due to my laziness with that team.

I added on to my post, I guess I think fury beats you atleast one of the 4 possible match ups


We will probably only play Fury twice at most. Ladder matches between teams from the same league are extremely rare. But we also have the Vacation Bears in our division who has given us some close games over the seasons and Squares and Moosejaw from gamma are capable of beating us. In the very unlikely case we go undefeated in league our ranking will probably be high enough that we pull tough journey teams towards the end of the season and lose. So it isn't likely. My bet would be on a rookie or soph team if any team does it.

central has to deal with mem. Ga could be a threat if we pull central once we get 100% chem

Don't forget the ladder at the end doesn't account for already played teams now if they are close so it's more likely GoZ and fury could match up at the end in the ladder

Updated for end of game 8 (Air Farce, previously unbeaten, falls to the still-unbeaten Strange Music).

I think that was my line of thinking, just without all the reason you added

Nebraska just whipped me.

He tricked me. He spammed 3 WR trips toss weak. He ran to the strong side 38 times in all previous games and never ran to the weak side. My guys were hung over on energy cubes and played like crap.

Its called gameplanning.

Also, props to MooseJaw for knocking off Fury. Their fast TEs torched our pass defense for two long TDs which gave them a nice cushion. We scratched and clawed our way back into it but ran out of time with the potential game-tying drive stalling on the 8 yard line.
