This is going to be a pretty competitive division with 5 talented human owners: Buffalo Black Stars (Demnotready), Maryland Terrapins (bb2118), SD Blitz (me), Toledo Rockets (Squish) & Western Winners (croverja).
Anyone of you guys want to take a shot at handicapping this division? I'm scouting it right now and will take a gander at it tomorrow.

My predictions:
1. Toledo Rockets - cup runner-up, talent with know-how, wins the division this season.
2. Western Winners - Despite the poor color scheme (green and light blue???), croverja was able to edge out the Safugnoff Eagles in for the IV.19. He has talent, he's been tested -- and probably has the best shot at supplanting the Rockets.
3T. SD Blitz - emerges from a bot-heavy division to promote...so pretty much untested. I think I have talent, but are my player builds good? Time will tell.
3T. Buffalo Black Stars - I wish I had a Madson Guaita on my teams. Lots of players...not sure about the core talent level though.
5. Maryland Terrapins - seems to have the lowest salaries, but maybe I'm misjudging the value of rating stars -- which are very good. Big stadium --> long term success.
6-10: Bots - unless one of the humans throws in the towel, these guys are the second division.

i dunno made some good additions to the team, lost to the rockets 12-6 in the final 4 regional overtime loss, it will def. be a competitive season. Honestly think anyone of us could take it.

I agree for the most part with what's been said. I think it's anyone's game. I don't see Maryland winning it because I played with them last year and they are a little run happy which doesn't do much for you in GI.
All signs point to my QB Kegley having a huge year and his performances will make or break my team. The Toledo defense is stout but not perfect. If Kegley doesn't throw at least 2 TDS in a game, Toledo is VERY beatable.
I think it'll be a coin toss to see who wins.

Good analysis. And, I admit green and light blue don't match, but I'm not great with color schemes... It's better then orange and maroon.

I dont expect too win the division this season. I went with all young guys in the beginning and have been building them up. It should pay off in a couple of seasons. As long as I get a couple of wins over the human players Ill be happy.
