So, here are the preseason rankings for The DFC XII... of course, this is only my prediction for the future... and we'll breaking up into levels..
LEVEL SIX... NOT GONNA HAPPEN THIS YEAR
Be it rebuilding, distractions or just yearly struggles, those in this level will probably populate the lower ranks of the DFC
(41) Garrett Cheney... Not sure if it will ever happen for Young Garrett.
(40) Daniel Powell... Woes will continue in Danny P's 12th year
(39) Michael Nipp... Hasn't seen the playoffs since 2004. Not this year.
(38) Sarah Hasha... Currently the record holder for most games with no postseason
(37) David Tuck... Baby in the way will hinder his efforts for a title in his 2nd year
(36) Jessica Hawbaker... The rookie will, for now, stand in the shadow of her highly ranked hubby
(35) Matt Latta... the former champ is in the 2nd year of a 2 year rebuilding phase
(34) Rhett Barnett... Two straight 51 win seasons, might make it a third, but not likely
(33) Justin Fisher... Coming off a terrible year, JustFish looks to improve considerably
LEVEL FIVE... ON THE VERGE, BUT NOT QUITE
In this level are those who are about to breakthrough, and one of them just might... and in DFC XIII just might be a Level Two'er
(32) Ryan Sherman... Two straight 60 win seasons came before two straight down years (43 and 52 wins).
(31) John Wolf... The Lone Wolf quietly got to 53 wins last season, look for him to possibly get a few more
(30) Chris Croyle... He came thisclose to making the postseason in DFC XI. Not this year.
(29) Bradley Pinkerton... A single season layoff will hurt DFC X's Rookie of the Year
(28) Drew Warren... No longer a rookie, it will be hard to match the 55 wins from last year
LEVEL FOUR... LONGSHOTS, BUT COULD DO IT
Here are those who are against the odds, but could end up pulling the upset and making some waves. Not all, but a lucky one or two.
(27) Tim Wasyluka... A longtime DFC vet, The Big Wasyluka is always a threat, but will be in a down year
(26) Greg Graves... The father of highly ranked Zack Graves dives in for what will probably be a pretty good year.
(25) DM Osborne... The DFC lifer has had his ups and downs, and hasn't seen the postseason in 5 years, though this might be a comeback.
(24) Lori Beirne... The very first Chick Champ is facing DFC life with a baby. 53 wins this year.
(23) Tom Johnson... He tasted the playoffs last year after a five year gap, and he might do a little more this year.
(22) David Stamper... My pick for Rookie of the Year, I'm predicting a decent 55 wins, but no postseason.
(21) Tyler Campbell... Perhaps my pick for Dark Horse of the year, that is to say, I dunno if he'll win 39 games, or he might end up with 66 and the East Divisional title.
Coming tomorrow... Level Three--The Playoff Hopefuls (ranks 20 - 13)... Level Two--Gonna Have a Big Year (ranks 12-7)... and finally, Level One--The Title Contenders (ranks 6-1)
