Pre-Season Players Poll

We've polled all the players and the result is an extremely biased, 'partisan', and absolutely un-scientific poll of who has the best squad of teams:

1. Akaoni - 61 pts - 1 top choice
2. The CEO - 56 pts - 1 top choice
3. Jaybird - 48 pts
4. Jutdog - 47 pts - 2 top choice
5. (tie) Babblemur - 43 pts - 2 top choice
5. (tie) Phunmunki - 43 pts
7. Boaris - 42 pts
8. NotaTurtle - 40 pts - 2 top choice
9. (tie) Gunz - 30 pts
9. (tie) Some Guy in Illinois - 30 pts

The bias became evident when considering the players who were ranked last:
Jutdog: 3 times
NotaTurtle: 3 times
Some Guy in Illinois: 1 time
Gunz: 1 time

However - who cares! Obviously Akaoni has the best squad of teams, but Babblemur will be the surprise winner in the end due to the historic undefeated season and national championship by the Butler Bulldogs.
