Another season is here, so for all you craving my opinion, here's my top 20, uh I mean top 25 rankings. With the new post season structure (we are talking all about it in the Forum), we here at BA have to start tracking 25 teams. So deep down into D3 we go:
There's a lot of movement here at the start of the season. There's been a lot of transfers, imports and other crazy rumors all mixed in here.
The largest move down is Portland, under speculation they wont have Orozco this year. Grand Rapids also drops 9 spots due to chatter about Lars sitting this season out, time will tell if that team can work our their domestic disputes.
The largest moves up are tied between TIRR with the additions of Deller and a Canadian import, and Lakeshore bringing in Ike from Japan. While Denver only moves up 2 spots, I think they'll be challenging the Arizona teams for the top of the podium with the addition of Aoki.
I'll also take time to welcome newcomers to the BA Top 25 ranking: Oscar Mike, St. Louis, Northeast Passage, Northern Virginia Mutiny, and Seattle Slam. That's the only kindness you'll get here, now you have to work to make sure you stay on our radar.
That's it for this edition of rankings, let the Bent Axle know what you think on our new forums or on Twitter.
Oversight on my part, and they brought in Murao from Canada. I think this puts them at around 9 or 10. Bump everyone below that down a spot.
Don't forget about Sharp this year either... They have a solid 1-2 with James and Odie, and I've heard talks of them bringing in another 2.0. Not sure where to rank them but just having James and Odie should put them in the middle of the pack somewhere.
