Changes

The AF2 currently is divided into two conferences: National and American. The conferences are further subdivided into three divisions each. Each division represents a region of the country in which teams play to keep travel expenses to a minimum and to develop regional rivals. Originally, the '''Barracudas''' were placed in the Pacific Conference.

The league expanded again to 34 teams with four divisions in the two conferences. '''Pensacola''' was moved to the National Conference and placed in the Southern Division along with Mobile, Birmingham and Tennessee Valley, whose home city is Huntsville, AL. Another 8-8-0 season ensued and although 16 teams would qualify for the playoffs, the '''Barracudas''' were not one of them. The [[Wikipedia:Peoria Pirates|Peoria Pirates]] would take the league title. Attendance for the season plummetted to 2,737 fans per game, third worst in the league. The '''Barracudas''' would use three QBs for the year: '''Charlie Peterson''', '''Bobby Clayton ''' and '''Josh Rogers'''. '''Peterson ''' got 12 starts and completed 240 passes on 438 attempts with 17 interceptions and 64 TDs for a 98.28 rating. '''Clayton ''' and '''Rogers ''' would combine for 16 TDs. '''Jack Walker ''' would lead all team WRs with 66 catches for 1,039 yards and 25 TDs. Kicker '''Dave Adams ''' would go 12-32 FGs with 82 points. '''Pensacola''' would finish an impressive 11th in team scoring while going 19th in total defense allowing 245 yards a game with 93 TDs.  Although improved in the win column in 2002 and sporting an explosive offense, the annual drop in fan attendance virtually killed the team. The '''Barracudas''' folded after the 2002 season. Three-year team totals are: 21 wins, 28 losses, one playoff appearance (lost), zero division titles, with a .429 win percentage.
