With so many people for sale, its nigh impossible to make predictions

Power Rankings: Preseason rankings are here, like the Sloths said, lots of moves and teams rebuilding, the league has giant power vacuum left by Jungle Fever’s promotion as well as Pittsburgh and SM Lizards tanking. I really don’t have much justification for these initial rankings, if unhappy simply win and you will move up.
1. Galloping Sloths
2. Beachlife
3. Boom is Art
4. CC Mavs
5. Snake River Panthers
6. Retired
7. The Tropics
8. H-town Ballers
9. West Side Tigers
10. Green Peppers
11. Bella Champs
12. Lahser
13. Pittsburgh Pressure
14. Illiniwek
15. Souljas
16. SM Lizards

I think I should be down closer to 10. My team is young and still in training.

Will everyone please stop complaining about being too high in the rankings?

Haven't done my rankings yet.. so maybe I'll agree.. but until then... too high!

uhmmmm.... okay my rankings.... I don't know what $ everyone has in the bank, nor do I factor much for owner skill. So the w-l s are based mostly on salary.

1) Sloths (19-3)... sure, why not put a target on my own back... PP were overly modest last season and paid the price.
2) Beachlife (18-4)... honestly, they beat me every year and should probably be #1
3) BoomIsArt (18-4)... Going with the old timers here vs the new...
4) Panthers (18-4)... they get the salary nod over Mavs.
5) CC Mavs (18-4)... they are a smidge behind the other 18-4 teams, but...
6) Tigers (18-4) Fool me once... etc. lots of teams at 18-4... but last season they should have won but chose not to.
7) Balla Champs (14-8) They are trying to sell their 103k player... and may succeed, but if they dont, they fall in here. If they do, they drop to the bottom.
8) Retired_ (13-7) Surprised upwards last season, entirely capable of doing it again.

That rounds out the likely playoff teams....
9) Illiniwek (2-20) They are ranked 9th, because I KNOW they have money, and 2 good players could land them at least here, depending on speed of acquisition.
10) Pittsburgh (3-19) see above...
11 Lizards (3-19) see above....
12) H-Town Ballers (9-13) will battle...
13) Tropics (9-13)
14) Lahsar (7-15)
15) Greeen Peppers (7-15)
16) Souljas (0-22) unlike the other old timers, they need to acquire at least 3 players to compete, which is tougher... not sure they are planning to bother.

I happy not being number1 in the ranking who needs that pressure. LOL

You're welcome :) I didn't take into account (obviously) a few of day 1s results, but I did expect to lose to the Tigers at their place. Maybe I've lit a fire under them to play up to their potential this year?

Edit> and oh yeah, injury to a starter game 2.. swell!
