Initial Thoughts
Well as my first post I thought I would put up an initial thoughts post. Just some things I observed in so far.
BIG 8 – The big 8 this season seems similar to last season, as in, it seems just a weak. The Big 8 consists of many teams just promoted into D.III and some teams who avoided relegation. The competition should still be tough, with any team having the possibility to making the playoffs. Should be interesting to watch teams battle it out to stay out of the bottom. The opportunity is there, who will take control?
Playoff prediction
1. The Dream Shakers
2. Porter!
3. Toronto/Ghana heavenly ballers
4. north of the border chub
GREAT 8 – Once again, very similar to last season, only 2 new teams. Many teams have been here for quite a few season and are looking to get out. Unless there are any surprises the conference should look the same as the previous seasons. Last season, while almost all teams were within a few wins of each other, any thing can happen, a single loss could be the difference between relegation and playoff contention. With everyone’s eyes on the playoffs, some will be disappointed.
Playoff Prediction
1. Budweisers
2. Scarborough Stampede
3. jeansdoes
4. Maulers
Promotion favourites:
This season the 3 teams with the highest possibility of promotion would be
The Dream Shakers – Budweisers – Scarborough Stampede
Without any relegated D.II team, the opportunity is there for all 3 of these teams, The season will now be about which team can overcome the others when it matters.
