Oxford's top three power against Poole reserve power for the title, in my opinion. Those are the two teams that stand out, although I think it looks a more competitive league than we've seen in the last few seasons (3rd to 8th could be any order, with Scunthorpe last).

1. Oxford
2. Poole
3. Glasgow
4. Berwick
5. Plymouth
6. Redcar
7. Edinburgh
8. Workington
9. Scunthorpe

Needs Erik Riss to stay fit all season, though. If he does - and he shows the sort of form he showed in the Premiership last season - he's arguably the signing of the year in the Champ. It's a big IF though. If he's out for large parts of the season, there's no guest/replacement that will offer his scoring power on that average.

That is after a two point deduction though. They did look like they could make the playoffs for a chunk of the season, but let themselves down very badly on the road - but even then, the closest they got to winning was at Poole and Glasgow. A very enigmatic team.

To be fair thats how the Workington sides have been built since their return with sh#t or bust riders, unpredictable makes for great viewing (providing they turn up), however if a season of consistency hits then big things could happen.

Plymouth will surprise lots of teams 

I really hope so. There appears to be a better vibe coming from the club than in previous years. Getting off to a good start and a consistent home surface are key
