As usual, the NSFL Ultimus winner will come out of the ASFC. Even if you do not look into past seasons, there is no way to miss the fact that the strongest teams are in that conference. Remember the New Orleans Secondline, the Ultimus champion last season? They have a great team for sure, not a chance in denying that. Their place? 4th in the conference with a 7 - 5 record, out of the playoffs with 1 game to go, so a must win game for them in Week 13 to scrape in. Now look at the NSFC. Do not even look at the fact that the same record that gives you 4th place in the ASFC nets you a 2nd place in the NSFC. Get past that. But there is an expansion team in the playoff hunt. No disrespect to the Sarasota Sailfish, but if a team comes into the league, with all the challenges that entails and immediately gets into the playoffs, something needs to change in their conference. Besides, we all know that the Wraiths will make it to the Ultimus and lose, so the team that wins the ASFC championship game should automatically get the Ultimus. My bet this year goes to the Orange County Otters.
