Looking at each conference, I think there are a couple legitimate contenders in each: Milwaukee Bucks and New York Jests are realllllly tough, along with Extra Crispy and SF Warriors. After that, there's a glut of talented competitors that lack either the depth or star power to unseat those other teams: Red Pandas, Tasty Tardsicles, Issaquah Iguanas, Meridian Hill McMornings, and the Barbaric Yawps. I think there's a definite edge of talent in the Big 8, so there will be very few "gimme" victories on that side when it returns to conference play in the last third of the season. That could definitely help the Warrioirs and Extra Crispy save energy for the playoffs for a deep run. Should be really fun to watch!
