Last season, you picked Drew 5th and we ended up 1st.  So, I'll say that kap has a great chance to win the division

This is the Year of the Guards in Freedom.  I picked Guards as the top returning player for 9 of the 12 teams.  This season Freedom is going to be very tough!  It will be hard to beat having the National Champion and runnerup, as we did last season, but the conference is deeper and tougher this season and there are several teams capable of making a title run again this season.

The conference had a steller non-con season!  6298 RPI for the conference, #1 in Naismith D3, and we currently have 9 teams in the NT chase, 1 in the PIT, and the last two are not far out of a PIT spot.  I don't know if any conference, in any World has ever put all 12 teams in the post season, but as unlikely as it is to happen, there is a posibility this season in Freedom.  My guess is that we will end up with 9-10 post season teams with 7-8 being in the NT.
