Match day in 24 hours! Who's hosting the watch party?

Wallet-kun's predictions for playoff teams are:
- The Ruguarus, Djibouti Kraken, Snow Blizzards, Minnesota Mean Machine or Great Lakes Glaciers (depending on if you look at top 8 or full roster - top 8 also reverses the order of the top 3)
- Virginia Beach Freaks, Lahser, Ferth Ozone, Frogmonsters

But really close between 4th and 6th place in the B8 and not quite as steep of a drop off after 4th in the G8 as in previous seasons.

I have high hopes to finally break through to the playoffs this year. Assuming my desire to revenge CT certain teams doesn't get the better of me...

Obviously hard to judge teams just on their roster salaries and such, hard to tell how much you're going to be able to splash on rebuilding or if you're tanking your way through. But assuming you're playing it straight with that roster, I think it's too thin to make it in the G8 and you'll be in the "contending to get a relegation series with HCA" band of teams.

That said, I reserve the right to retract this prediction and thus not look like an idiot if you splash on the transfer list to re-arm your team

Wow, first game of the season and I used an old lineup with the wrong center in it. Nice job…

League performance & strength of schedule at the ASB (by BB-Stats)
Listed as Team Avg BBStats+Std Dev @ Opponent Avg BBStats+Std Dev

Big 8:
1. The Rugarus 109.5+10.5 @ 115.2+10.6
2. Minnesota Mean Machine 124.0+9.3 @ 121.2+11.4
3. Great Lakes Glaciers 117.5+7.6 @ 116.2+11.6
4. Rhode Island Bison 118.5+7.9 @ 114.4+12.6
5. Mos Eisley Imperials 121.5+7.5 @ 120.1+13.7
6. Snow Blizzards 116.5+5.9 @ 120.6+10.8
7. Djibouti Kraken 118.1+11.9 @ 119.9+12.5
8. Kentucky Cyclones 109.8+7.0 @ 113.8+8.2

Remaining Interconference games:
The Rugarus vs Lahser (2) and Frogmonsters (4)
Minnesota Mean Machine vs Boilers25 (6) and The Lafayette Differentia (7)
Great Lakes Glaciers vs Ferth Ozone (1) and wild storm (5)
Rhode Island Bison vs Ferth Ozone (1) and Boilers25 (6)
Mos Eisley Imperials vs Frogmonsters (4) and The Lafayette Differentia (7)
Snow Blizzards vs Virginia Beach Freaks (3) and Pittsburgh Redskins (8)
Djibouti Kraken vs wild storm (5) and Pittsburgh Redskins (8)
Kentucky Cyclones vs Lahser (2) and Virginia Beach Freaks (3)

The Rugarus and Rhode Island Bison probably have the most precarious positions, with relatively weaker schedules so far than their nearby competitions and difficult interconference games remaining. Kentucky Cyclones have a very tough road to avoid the auto-drop.

Great 8:
1. Ferth Ozone 126.7+6.6 @ 118.3+12.0
2. Lahser 128.9+7.9 @ 113.2+28.5
3. Virginia Beach Freaks 128.9+8.9 @ 112.0+12.9
4. Frogmonsters 118.8+7.9 @ 116.2+13.6
5. wild storm 109.2+26.4 @ 115.5+10.9
6. Boilers25 110.2+4.0 @ 116.2+8.5
7. The Lafayette Differentia 105.6+9.3 @ 113.8+10.8
8. Pittsburgh Redskins 98.4+6.2 @ 115.5+10.7

Remaining Interconference games:
Ferth Ozone vs Great Lakes Glaciers (3) and Rhode Island Bison (4)
Lahser vs The Rugarus (1) and Kentucky Cyclones (8)
Virginia Beach Freaks vs Snow Blizzards (6) and Kentucky Cyclones (8)
Frogmonsters vs The Rugarus (1) and Mos Eisley Imperials (5)
wild storm vs Great Lakes Glaciers (3) and Djibouti Kraken (7)
Boilers25 vs Minnesota Mean Machine (2) and Rhode Island Bison (4)
The Lafayette Differentia vs Minnesota Mean Machine (2) and Mos Eisley Imperials (5)
Pittsburgh Redskins vs Snow Blizzards (6) and Djibouti Kraken (7)

Whichever of the top 3 emerges as the conference champion will be the favorite to win the league. But will a late season arms race result in another promotion upset? wild storm's early season cup-punts contribute to his variance (and Lahser and Frogmonsters' opponent variance), but the 2 game hole will make it much harder to sneak into the playoffs despite his full focus shifting back to the league.
