Northbaybbguru makes the best point. Any team can go 8-2 or even 10-0, it all depends on strength of schedule. Going 8-2, which is a good thing none the less, wont help you at the end of the year for playoffs. When CCS seeding is made, it is strength of schedule and who your key wins are against. Oceana went 8-1, that doesnt mean they will be the best team in the PAL north. Westmoor is still hands down the league favorite, and they had the 4th best record out of their league this preseason. I cant see any other team from the PAL competing against the schedule they have put together. The second best team will probably be SSF behind Paul Carion, HMB following behind them. When it really comes down to it, South City and HMB will be fighting for second place, behind Westmoor going 12-0 for a 3rd straight year.
