San Jose SaberCats
The most successful franchise in the AFL the past four seasons, the SaberCats lost in the Semifinals in 2003. Under two-time Coach of the Year Darren Arbet, the SaberCats became winner of four straight Western Division titles and are the only team to earn a first-round playoff bye in each of the last four years. In 2004, San Jose is led by quarterback Mark Grieb and a talented group of players on both sides of the ball.
