I think we can put to rest Preds or VLC making a jump to elite. So we are really talking BLC plus either True Kelly Post or Blue Claws as the final two teams. Kelly Post opted out of elite last year so it seems Blue Claws will likely be the last team since they have put teams in elite in other years like 29. Can BLC or Blue Claws jump up from the 7/8 slots?

My guess is no one really makes a jump and we end up:

Hawks
Madlax
FCA
Next Level
Crabs
True Annapolis
BLC
Blue Claws

There is a drop off between Hawks and ML to FCA and NL And then another drop off to the crabs and true tier. Then falls way off after that.

As far as game outcomes, there may be a few surprises here and there but might end up with chalk.

AAA on the other hand seems to be a lot more unpredictable.
