Not really sure how pre-season power rankings are in terms of importance, but just by looking at it you can observe a few things. The NC South, East, and West, all look to be very tough divisions in the opening year. Also, it looks like the NC is superior to the AC.

The power rankings in this version do a pretty good job of evaluating the overall talent on teams, but injuries and gameplanning have an impact as well. Overall, though, you can usually get a pretty good indicator of what divisions will be the toughest from the preseason power ratings. So, yeah, if Los Alamos doesn't win their division, Wessinmouse should be taken out back and shot. :twisted:

It's WIIIIIIIIIIIDE open for Dakota in our division. We're no threat for a few years.

Newb question on the variability within this game ----

1)If we reran the draft would the Power ranking order remain relatively the same? or is there a range of +- 20 or so ? just wondering ----

2) Competitiveness of the game ---
Can PR of 20 compete with 84 or is the season pretty much over ? Hope I'm not insulting anyone with these dumb questions.

My team's a 2....

[Heelfan71]

I have to play Columbus (94), Vegas (84) and Morganstown (63) the first 3 games of the regular season. :cry:

[Eaglesfan27]

Just give us a year or two to develop and we'll have our pre-season power ranking much higher :evil:

Looking at my roster, I think I can win our division. Dakota has a good QB, but my D-Line is going to be all over him and my safeties will probably pick him off once or twice a game I play him.

My only problem is my QB rated 9/48. If he can avoid turnovers (doubtful), I expect a 9 or 10 win season.

[rubisco43]

Got a pretty solid team. But I'm also the 2nd oldest team in the league... so i'm assuming my window to win is pretty slim.

Whoa! Port City has a 100 power ranking? Eh, im not worried, it's SoMiss. I mean he IS a Cowboys fan.

Well you should begin and end your season with a win. I have an ok, but future excellent defense, but right now we're just too young. I'm playing for the top pick this year!

5-TIMES.

Hehe, I actually wouldn't mind getting a top 5 or 10 draft pick. God knows I'm going to need a QB...

I fully expect a 9-7 season and a squeaking into the playoffs for my team, only to get annihilated in the wild card round. That sucks, because I'd rather be terrible for a year and get a good draft pick then make the playoffs with no hope of advancing.

[SoobieTech]

Same here. Although our division looks to be one of the weak ones. But it's ok, we have a pretty young team that has only one way to go.....Up.

Thanks! No pressure, huh?

Oh, I'll find a way to screw the pooch, I'm sure. I'm thinking maybe I'll set my offensive gameplan to run up the gut 100% of the time regardless of down/distance. Defensively: all prevent, all the time.

Now where's the autopilot button on this thing?
