Game #3 preview
This is a huge game as many teams are facing their closest Conference rival:
Main Events
1) Vienna visits Brazilian - a rematch from one of last season's Conference Championship games which saw Vienna prevail 33-30. In the regular season, Vienna also won both games and by larger margins. It's clear that Braizilian steps up their game in the playoffs, but this regular season game I'm picking Vienna.
2) JPEGs visit Jericho - these teams met twice in the regular season with Jericho winning early 27-16 but JPEGs winning late 23-7. I pick JPEGs by a healthy margin.
Undercard games:
3) CCIA visits ATKM - these teams met twice in the regular season with ATKM winning both early 32-7 and late 20-10. But ATKM not game planning hurts them so pick 'em, or CCIA if I have to choose.
4) HRT visits Barcelona - these teams did not play last season but 2 seasons ago HRT won 24-7 and again 20-10 in the regular season. I'll take HRT to win.
Other games:
Houston (visitor) over DSWC
Paris (Home) over Gridiron
I was 6-0 game 1 and the game 2 games were also 6-0 in line with my rankings with the higher ranked team winning each game. So I'll say 12-0 on the season. This is the first time I've called a minor upset, choosing JPEGs to win over Jericho.

Rankings After Game #3:
A little movement after this game as CCIA plummets 1 spot and ATKM moves ahead of them. (CCIA management tried to give me some film-flam jibber-jabber about messing up the AI but I wasn't buying it - if they want to be listed as better than the good teams then they have to beat the good teams):
1) Undefeated since becoming Reigning Champion: Vienna Ritterbrüder (Minor League Glory Team)
2) Contender: Jericho Walls (Minor League Glory Team)
3) Contender: Brazilian Farmers
4) Contender: Great JPEGs
5) Pretender: Houston Gamblers
6) Good Team: All The King's Men - they don't gameplan, else they'd be a contender.
7) Good Team: Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens - guess these guys aren't ready to be better than merely good.
8) Average Team: Paris Smexies
9) Average Team: Hostile Royal Takeover
10-12) The Dregs: the other teams in Elite

Rankings after Game #1:
Nothing happened to make me change my preseason assessments so this is pretty straightforward
1) Undefeated since becoming Reigning Champion: Vienna Ritterbrüder
2) Contender: Jericho Walls
The top two teams are what I call Minor League Glory Teams, with poor long-term builds designed to win in the minors. These teams will drop off in a big way between now and Pro, and possibly even start to see a big drop over the season. I rank these as the top two NOW but the odds are against them holding these rankings till the end of the season. I expect some of the teams with better long-term builds will pass them
3) Contender: Brazilian Farmers
4) Contender: Great JPEGs
These two teams already have a "contender" level of play but also have very good long term builds. By the time the playoffs roll around, the odds are good that one of these teams walks away with the gold trophy.
5) Pretender: Houston Gamblers
This team may or may not be better than merely good, but is not a Contender in Elite
6) Rising Star: Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens
I use the term "rising star" to signify a better than merely good team with excellent long-term prospects but a team whose performance last season was merely good. So I think this team will end up better than what it did last season, but it has to earn its way up the rankings.
7) Good Team: All The King's Men
They don't gameplan, else they'd be a Contender.
8) Average Team: Paris Smexies
9) Average Team: Hostile Royal Takeover
10-12) The Dregs: the other teams in Elite
