Through the first four games I think that not only myself but most of the league must be surprised by the success of the San Jose Sabercats. Looking at season predictions you would think they would be in a much worse spot; however, they sit at a cool 3-1. Despite the nice record there are flaws in this team that are already apparent, first off, their rushing attacking is one of the worst in the league, it is the worst statistically speaking averaging 69 yards per game. Maybe it is not as bad as I thought that number is sick, however looking at the game scores all their games through 4 weeks have only been decided by one score. The 3-1 could easily be 1-3 however that is not to discredit them at all, a victory is a victory no matter how it happens, we have seen that in S24 and S25 on their back-to-back Ultimus runs. The biggest disappointment must be Austin, these guys were arguably the favorites to win the ASFC and they sit at a lowly 1-3, it looks like they have the same case as San Jose in that their scores have all been within one score, not sure if this is over thinking of strats or just a bad case of sim luck. It is strange to see their team be almost intact and better than last season, yet they sit at the bottom half of the division. I think they can turn it around but at 1-3, and at time of writing 1-5-1 they will need a lot to go right for them to make the playoffs.
