Well folks, it took all of three weeks for the poll to be thrown into a tizzy. But it happened, and we have a new number one team.
The New York Magpies' loss to the Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids at the Eastern Regional tournament was enough to make five of the nine panelists give their #1 vote to someone else. And, when the dust settled, the Orange County Bombers emerged on top of the second USAFL Top 20 Poll.

It's very rare you can get nine people to agree on very many things; dinner options, movie options, favorite AFL player, favorite Beatles song (or is that last one just me?), anything really.
But our expert panel, voting in the first USAFL Top 20 Poll of the season, agreed that the New York Magpies and Orange County Bombers, who finished 1-2 in Division I last season, are the two teams to beat as 2015 gets underway.

On October 18th, a new slate of USAFL National Champions will be crowned. Whoever lifts the John Harrell Cup in the center of Cooper’s Field at Onion Creek Soccer Complex in Austin will lay claim to the title of best footy club in the land.
The path between this day and that one is rather long, however, and in the intervening 27 weeks, each team will take to ovals across the USA and do battle, jockeying for position on the ladder.

"For lo' the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."
Though the last bits of winter have invaded spring on the East Coast, Spring is in fact here. In America, that means footy season is finally upon us. 34 clubs from coast to coast are ready for the 2015 season. Many questions have bounced around the heads of footy players and experts in the offseason:
The USAFL Executive Board is pleased to announce the 2015 USAFL National Championships is headed back to Austin, TX October 16 - 18 at Onion Creek Soccer Park. After careful review and a highly competitive bid process, the Board determined that Austin is the best destination for the tournament in 2015. The experience of the 2011 and 2013 events in Austin were fantastic and we look forward to welcoming all players, teams, officials and fans in October.
