As came up during the "Big Contest", a Playoff/Challenge concept is going to be employed... but more for a Handicapping Ladder. Stay tuned.

I looked at it in a better light. I'm just glad that I didn't make the list conjured up by the perc head.

no need to feel disrespected by the preseason rankings. look at college football. everyone had the bulldogs #1 at the start and they cant even beat G-tech. champs arent won in rankings. espc preseason ones.
