For those who like stats, here are some from last year. Obviously, toughest league is a matter of opinion but here are some numbers (overall 56 of the 132 are back from last year, when we had 120 teams).
10 of the 11 leagues have a top 17 owner from last year's tourney. League #3 has 8 owners from last year. League #5 has 7 owners from last year while 1, 6, 7, and 10 have 6 owners from last year.
League #3 has 3 of the top 11 owners from last year including both of the teams that battled it out in the World Series of the championship league. League #10 has some well-known owners, two of which finished in the top 7 last year but league #7 has a past champion and looks tough as well.
I would not want to be in league's #3 or #10 and will pick #10 as the toughest IMO. It doesn't matter as we all start from zero now. It would be fun if SOM had the win %'s of everyone to see which is the toughest league in that manner.
Other notes from last year - there were about 20 owners fighting for the last 12 spots going into the last week of league #4 last year. If I remember right, at least two of the owners had to win their first round playoff in order to make it into the final 12. Three teams tied for the 12th spot and it came down to a tie-breaker. And don't give up - 8 of the owners that made the final 12 had a team that had a losing season on one of the 4 teams.
Good luck everyone. Let's have fun!!
