A few things as always:
- This is for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. I am NOT accepting bets. Though I WILL say that if I did, based on how much junk some of you talk, I’d be a very rich human being if I did open it up (No, Im not opening it up).
- This is not based on great vs. sucky. By making it to the playoffs, you’re all great teams. This is about separating excellent from great and elite from excellent. Some people are going to get their feelings hurt. That’s unfortunate, but I’m not listing everyone at even odds, so deal with it.
- This is based on opponent, tournament history, playoff location and path that a team needs to go through to get to Battle Bowl. There are teams that I will rank a LOT higher than their record due to said history (Ie NJNW) and lower for the same reasons.
- Sometimes I look at head to head but that’s really at the bottom on the list. For example, I usually pick on the New England Teams BUT the playoffs are in CT, so I’ll be nicer to them and meaner to others.
- There will be a team that does really really well that will talk about how terrible at this I am on Social Media. This happens every year. This year will be no different. I have my big boy pants on.
- Someone will be listed at 1,000 to 1, like I do every single year. Use this to get motivated and not act like a salty cow. There’s no team that I hate or disrespect. Don’t act like I do.
- Have fun!
- Did I mention this was for entertainment purposes only? Good.
