Season 10 Predictions

Last year I introduced a "very sophisticated" and untested method to determine the strength of a team, and likelihood of success. The method proved trustworthy for the most part, some divisions it was right on! Take a look back if you'd like, you will find that there were only a few teams that were under or over estimated. The method has now been tested, and I'll be improving it from year to year. That said, once again I have used this system to determine the winners of each league, with slight changes to the method. Current records played no part in the prediction! The method gives an ML team quality rating to each team (the #), based on the overall quality of the ML roster. The method is the same for each team. It simply determines the BEST team and selects them. As I stated last year this method is according to MY perception of what determines the BEST ML roster but before you criticize it you should know that my team has had the leagues best record 3 of the last 4 seasons now. So as this season carries out we will see how accurate it is with the changes I've made. Some of you may be thinking "no way!" not with the current records that are to date, but just watch...one thing this method takes into account is team depth and durability, a teams ability to stay strong throughout the season. As we saw last year I expect some teams to rise all the way from the bottom, and others to fall all the way down. Hopefully YOU are on the good side of that prediction! Either way, I've said enough...here they are!
