In my IPA South Fork had by far the best record the past two seasons, so naturally I ranked them #1, but they lost in the first round. They have the best player, but I don't think that always translates to playoff success. He struggled this past year in the postseason, so the Stallions didn't really have a chance. If he had hit, his team may have won.
Actually, the one year that I used your San Francisco 49ers' style uniforms, in my 1910 season, South Fork won the Pro Cup. They also had the two best players in the league that season. So when one struggled the other picked up the slack. The past two years I switched their uniforms to the specialized ones that Low made for me, and they suffered upsets each year. As far as South Fork is concerned, EC's graphics have some magic! Maybe for next season I need to switch them back to yours and see what happens.
Yes, you did nail 2076!

Uh Oh, I forgot to mention that I give a huge bonus to the team with the best uniforms and logos.
Remember in my IPA there is no interleague play during the regular season... so a great record may mean you just play in a weak division... I have a special schedule for my IPA... it is not game generated.
