Watched primetime this past weekend. I'm not from LI and didn't know about them. They are def top 5. They are the real deal.
Jesters looks like a 5-10 ranked team
A few teams outside of the LI area that are better than I realized. Eaglestix looks like a top 5-10 team this year.
Trying to sort out where NXT Black, Ultimate LV, Aces Elite belong. Not clear how good the Mass and Conn teams are this year. NJ does not appear to have any elite teams.
Watched igloo a couple weeks ago. They may be a 10-15 team. PP are correct, they have a couple really good players but they are not a complete team yet.
Maryland teams have a massive advantage in strength of schedule over pretty much everyone else (with exception to a few big name programs - ES, Nxt, Aces etc). They play top teams just about every game. Its major component to rankings (NOT wins & loses) This can only be overcome by a high + Average Goal Differential. The good teams out there with weaker schedules will fall lower than expected/hoped for. This is why top 10 is composed of many Maryland teams in the early years & is hard to overcome without having a strong schedule. Also cause they are older & very good lol
