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.
