To give my ranks, it's important to highlight that I think this is such an even crop of fantasy teams, and really I can justify a ton of different possibilities. I explained my rating system below, but here goes...

1.) DaFaze
2.) Wyoming
3.) VP
4.) Walden
5.) Pine Tar
6.) Renegades
7.) Outlaw
8.) Upper Deck
9.) Oedipus
10.) American Giants

1st Round
VP defeats Wyoming
Walden defeats DaFaze

Finals
VP defeats Walden

I gave each team a grade based on their post-draft team in infield, outfield, starting pitching, bullpen, and other. Other includes a historical factor of idiocy and a subjective element as to your track record of winning or losing.

IF - OF - SP - RP - Other
Outlaw: B - B - B - C- - B
Wyoming: B - B+ - B+ - B- - A-
Feigh: B - B+ - C+ - A- - A
VP: A- - C+ - A- - B- - B+
Reneg: A - C - B - B - C
UD: B- - B - A - B - D
PTI: C+ - A - B- - B - B - B
WW: B+ - B - B- - C+ - A
OED: C+ - B+ - B - B - C+
AG: B- - B - C+ - C - F

Add up the grade points, use +/-'s to break ties.

I figured playoff games based on matchups, karma, and the other factor.

Based on tom's rankings, the pressures on as PTI strives to overcome an other factor of B to overtake Walden for the fourth spot.

I thought it would be interesting to rank each team based on how many of the top 100 fantasy players each team has on its roster, (i.e., the more players you have, the higher your rank). I did this for two different lists of the top 100 players. Here are the results.
List 1.
1.) VP Golden Sox (15 players)
2.)DaFaze (13)
3.)tie Wyoming and Pine Tar (11 each)
5.)tie Outlaw, UD, and Renegades (10 each)
8.)Walden Warriors (9)
9.)Oedipus (7)
10.)AG (3)

List 2
1.) VP Sox (15 players)
2.)tie Wyoming and DaFaze (12)
4.)tie Outlaw and Pine Tar (11)
6.)UD (10)
7.)Renegades (9)
8.)Walden Warriors (8)
9.)Oedipus (7)
10.)AG (4)

Of course, this does not take into account the quality of players for each team outside the top 100, but just interesting.

After looking at Tom's and Kirby's rankings I have to raise an eyebrow. Yes I have had my problems in the playoffs but to rank me behind two teams who finished almost 50 games behind me last year seems a bit preposterous. Especially going off of Tom's overall draft grade which had the three of us (Outlaw, Renegade, PTI) about the same. I look forward to proving you both wrong.

At least Adam got 9 & 10 right! Renegades might land on 4 too.

Did you really think I'd end up in 8th, or were you trying to yank my chain?
