Anyone planning to win it all this season?

I'm still trying. Gonna be good competition as always, but I'd like to come out on top this time.

The Big 8 looks incredibly tough this season. The top 6 teams in the conference (sorry West Palm Beach and Planes) is going to be fun to watch this season. Every team is great but has a different way of attacking it. I could definitely see myself dropping out of playoffs for first time after 5 straight seasons. The Generals have got to be the favorite heading into this season but there were some major moves this offseason. I Believe That We Will Win just spent over a million to acquire two new players. Clairemont could be a dark horse this season as well.

1. Washington Generals (19-3)
2. I Believe That We Will Win (17-5)
3. Clairemont Condors (15-7)
4. Mercy Buckets (12-12)
5. Team Turn Up (11-13)
6. Green Peppers (11-13)
7. West Palm Beach (4-18)
8. Plane (2-20)

The more I looked at it, that fourth spot could be up for anyone this year. Good luck to all and hope my "in class but don't want to pay attention predictions" is enjoyable for you all. Last note: We need a champion out of the Big 8 this year.

Great predictions! Rare you see someone so honest. Your guess for me is probably accurate because I am focusing on a big cup run this season. Marin Sharks from the other division looks very tough too! Good luck to everyone.

Great predictions (I guess though I may be a tad biased). I hope they hold true, looking forward to another competitive season here.

It would be nice to make the playoffs...think my roster is starting to mature enough to compete now, but I still have some growing to do. Churchill may have been over-trained because he's pretty pricey now.

Thought it'd be interesting to see the history of the teams in the current Big 8 in League IV.11.

Washington Generals:
- Entered league in season 26
- Qualified for playoffs 5 times
- Qualified for championship game 3 times
- Overall record of 96-48 (66%)

Green Peppers:
- Entered league in season 28
- Qualified for playoffs 5 straight times
- Qualified for championship game 1 time
- Overall record of 71-39 (65%)

Team Turn Up:
- Entered league in season 28
- Qualified for playoffs 5 straight times
- Hasn't qualified for championship game yet
- Overall record of 63-47 (57%)

Clairemont Condors:
- Entered league in season 29
- Qualified for playoffs 1 time
- Hasn't qualified for championship game yet
- Overall record of 36-52 (41%)

Mercy Buckets:
- Entered league in season 30
- Qualified for playoffs 3 straight times
- Hasn't qualified for championship game yet
- Overall record of 49-17 (74%)

I Believe That We Will Win:
- Entered league in season 31
- Hasn't qualified for playoffs
- Hasn't qualified for championship game
- Overall record of 23-21 (52%)

Please add anything you find important about your teams. Add your predictions for season 33 as well!

This is really cool. Well done. I cannot deny it, I have been trying to get to the finals the last two seasons, but Generals got me with that inside attack and strong PG play both times. First I bought guards, then I tried ID SFs, but I didn't have the balance to knock him off in crunch time. Last season I faded in enthusiasm down the stretch, and it got away.

I know we had upgraded rosters by playoffs last season, but I Believe might be forcing our hands this time by kicking off the big ticket players early in the season. If you check the player stats, the best comment so far is that we are all taking slightly different approaches, keeps it interesting.

Okay, lets get win #50. GG to Condors, I slid Aapo down to the PF/C slot to counter that inside attack. Churchill had a monster game on the glass, and you were assisting well. The interior defense causing 11 TOs from your starting frontcourt is what I think did you in. Interesting that my PG had the most points of all players but the 6.5 rating was below your entire team. Huh.

It's odd, but the turnovers really did us in despite being the higher rated team. Guess I gotta up the handling for those guys. Churchill should continue to have monster board games, I overdid the training on his rebounding, so now he's a beast.

Hey guys, there's a 99.9% chance that i lose this team on monday... since i'm bankrupt and can't get out of bankruptcy so... er well. I'll get "fired" and my team will go bot.

I'll be back eventually though... so look out for me... i'll find this league. Maybe i'll comeback here

Take note kids. Championship hangover is a thing.
