The preseason power rankings were calculated by where teams finished in the rankings last season plus grading each teams players potential ratings which are based on my player weights. The rankings are just a starting point and will fluctuate greatly the first couple of weeks as teams win or lose.

Two francises have relocated with the Milwaukee Buzzsaws becoming the Michigan Wolverines and the Cleveland Outsiders becoming the Toronto Titans.

Whew, already up a spot

Up 14, not good, mostly can only go down now. Too much pressure.

It's no surprise to me that CJ hates my guts. Here's hoping I can prove him wrong, again.

#30 overall, promising season ahead. Look out!

Aces are way over rated at #3 , be lucky to be #23 this season

I dont hate anyone's guts....I simply used last years week 16 rankings plus potential ratings for every player on each team divided by 53 and came up with a number.

In essence, if I ranked you low and you succeed it's because you are a great owner....

For example, Smirt211 is ranked 18th due to his roster construction but I have no doubt he will win and be ranked in the top five quickly.

I never take into account the intangibles of an owner or use pure opinion....my rankings are always based on a formula to keep it fair

The life of a Commish! Always wrong in someone's eyes, never right, always chastised, regardless of the decision. I hate being a commish, easier to sit in the wings. Lol.

If it helps, you can score me last next rating period, I won't complain. I think I will gravitate there naturally over time anyway. Lots to learn in this league, gonna take some time! Then, you can say: "I called it!" lol
