We're now five games into the season, so I'll answer this prompt with reference to each team's performance through five games. Nine of fourteen teams are 3-2 or 2-3, and it's hard to say that any team half a game above or below .500 is a particular surprise or disappointment at this stage. But the one that stands out to me from this pack is the San Jose Sabercats. San Jose had to make some last minute roster moves to even field 11 defensive players, and their quarterback appears to be one of the people alienated by HO's decision to fire the PPT Head as he stopped posting shortly after expressing his dissatisfaction with the decision. Predicted among the bottom two in the ASFC by a large number of participants in their Season Predictions, the Sabercats would be a playoff team if the season ended today.
The biggest underperformer in my opinion is another ASFC team, the Austin Copperheads. Sporting the third-highest total TPE in the league, they're 1-4 and sixth place in the conference. Austin has ten players over 1000 TPE - quarterback Jackie Daytona, his running back Zoe Watts and top target Videl-San on offence, and seven defensive players. They have over 1000 TPE at defensive end, all three linebacker spots and at three defensive back positions. Despite this, their defence is sixth in points allowed. I expect them to rebound in the remaining two-thirds of the season and to compete for a wildcard spot. (246 words)
