Pre-Season Rankings

Well, the season opener is just around the corner, the scheduling is done, and it's time to pick the pre-season favorites. A lot of the old faithfuls are back (Insliders now the Liberty Square Sliders, DGS, Pot Fever, Texas Republic and more) with a few new faces like the Yellow Journalists who appear to have skipped over from AAA Congressional League. 

Looking at the scheduling that has taken place so far, its hard not to like the rankings for the favorites given the strength of schedule settings. At a glance, here are my Pre-Season Top 10:

1. Texas Republic - if they can manage to only lose a game or two, the league champs will be back on top.

2. Liberty Square Slider - easily the toughest schedule in the league.

3. Potomac Fever - with enough top tier games to give them quality wins, I only see one game that could go the wrong way for them.

4. DGS - hey, it's the Commishes team, homage. 

5. Moderately Sober - caught some bad breaks last year, people better be ready for them this season.

6. Big Lebowskis - this one is too obvious because the Dude is back in town after a short lived goodbye.

7. Dragon Slayers - committed to only bringing in elite talent every off-season, the Slayers have a chance to improve on last years disappointing finish.

8. Blue Pups - just too good every year.

9. Vito Power - returning the majority of their team, no reason they can't rebound to a top 10.

10. Fat, Drunk and Awesome - after failing last year, rumor has it this former great is energized to redeem themselves.
