2009 Pre-Season Predictions Update

Trying to get up to speed after a month's hiatus...

The Donelson Warriors will be the next TTFBA champ. It's exciting to see some new blood in the playoff hunt. The San Pedro Bulldogs franchise has missed the playoffs the last 2 years. Transylvania has a shot at returning after missing 3 years. Real Charleston, a very strong contender for the Simpson Conference Champ, has missed the playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons. The longest post-season drought, though, belongs to the Fresno Outlaws. They should nab a wild spot after missing the mark for 4 season because of contant ownership turnover.

Predicted Playoff Seeds

Walter Payton Conference
1. Donelson
2. New England
3. San Pedro (B)
4. Hermitage
5. San Pedro (C)
6. Transylvania

There could be a brutal battle for the last seed. Wausau, Knoxville and Denver were just a few games behind the Evil Dead over 20 seasons of simulations.

Nicole Brown Simpson Conference
1. Real Charleston
2. Montcalm
3. Great Lakes
4. Fresno
5. Tillman
6. Dallas

Real Charleston and Montcalm are solid. The last 4 seeds could be in a different order.
