Short Update

Hey guys.  I don't really have the time to go through everything right now, but wanted to just make a couple of quick announcements. 

Congrats to Alex on winning the fantasy football league.  He started 1-5 and ended up winning every game but 1 the rest of the way to make the playoffs.  I truly haven't seen a comeback like it.  Good for you, Alex.

Alex wins the 4 bonus points that comes with this, Shawn comes in 2nd and receives 2 bonus points.  Joe comes in 3rd and gets 1 bonus point. 

The bowl pick'em is underway, no real updates on this yet.  Those will come after the weekend.

The Pro pick'em is down to the last week with a lot of games.  REMEMBER to make your picks throughout the playoffs.


SURVIVOR POOL is down to 2 teams, Alex & Rob.  I lost last week by picking Fuck Hodges and the Steelers. 

Loser's Pool is also in the last week, with Gary and I still fighting it out for 2nd place, with Shawn having sewn it up long ago.


That's all I got this week.  Just wanted to update people on the happenings.

First Point Update of the Season

We've finally reached the point where I can give an involved and detailed status of where we stand on the season.  Let's start off:

Fantasy Football:

Shawn & Alex won their games this weekend, leaving the two of them in the finals.  Shawn gets the honor of getting to be the last team that gets the shit kicked out of them by Alex this season on the way to his inevitable overtaking of the world. 

Hale & Joe will play for 3rd place and 4th place points. 

Over the weekend, Munez beat me locking up 5th place and I took home 6th.  Here are your points as of now.  (Shawn, Alex, Hale, and Joe are showing the average of their points that are available to them.

Shawn 11.5
Alex 11.5
Joe 9.5
Hale 9.5
Munez 8
Adam 7
Rob 6
Folden 5
Gary 4
John 3
Jim 2
Eplin 1

College Pick'em

Rob ran away with the college pick'em, Shawn came in 2nd, and Folden 3rd.  This is important because there are bonus points given to the top 3 in everything except for the survivor and losers pool. 

Our Final point totals in this go as follows.

Rob 12
Shawn 11
Folden 10
Alex 9
Munez 8
Gary 7
Adam 5.5
Joe 5.5
Eplin 4
John 3
Hale 2
Jim 1

Survivor Pool

Me, Alex, and Rob still are in the Survivor Pool with 2 weeks to play.  Here are the points in this one:

Adam 11
Rob 11
Alex 11
Gary 9
Hale 8
Eplin 7
Shawn 5.5
Joe 5.5
Jim 4
Folden 3
John 2
Munez 1


Losers Pool:

This one has Shawn already winning it with Me and Gary fighting it out for 2nd and 3rd place:

Shawn 12
Gary 10.5
Adam 10.5
Eplin 9
Rob 8
Joe 6.5
Munez 6.5
Jim 5
John 4
Hale 3
Alex 2
Folden 1


These four categories are either complete or near complete, there wont' be a lot of variance left in these.  However, the next ones still have a lot of changes to go through

PRO PREDICTIONS & BOWL PICK 'EM

I don't have any points tallied for this yet, so these are the x factor going forward in the league. 

Pro Pick'em

With two weeks left in the bowl pick'em it's really tight.  At the top Gary holds onto a 2 game lead, with Alex and Rob tied for 2nd behind them.  Alex had a rare bad week to fall.

Munez is in 4th with 117, with me and Hale tied at 5th with 116. 

After that there is a drop off to Shawn at 110 Folden at 117 and Eplin at 106 in the 7-9 spot.

Our points (as of now)

Gary 12
Rob 10.5
Alex 10.5
Munez 9
Adam 7.5
Hale 7.5
Shawn 6
Folden 5
Eplin 4
Joe 3
John 2
Jim 1


This brings us to our College Predictions.  I'm going to attach the college predictions sheet after this so everyone can see where we are at this point. 

In the top 4, no one was able to get more then 2 teams in the finals.  Everyone got Clemson, and then there was a smattering of Ohio st and Oklahoma for some people.

At this point, 6 people have their champion still in teh running, 7 people have their runner up.  All of these are Clemson for everyone, (except for me, having Ohio State and Clemson)

This means that if Clemson makes the finals, the point differences could vary greatly.

As of now here's where everyone stands:

Rob 12
Adam 11
Hale 10
John 9
Folden 8
Joe 7
Eplin 6
Alex 5
Gary 4
Jim 3
Voyten 2
Munez 1

Rob has 38 points in the lead.  I'm 2nd with 33.  I think the only way Rob can fall out of the top spot here is if Ohio State wins the National Championship.  Other then that, depending on Clemson winning or losing the National Titlea  lot of people could jump or fall.

In the attachment, the Yellow highlights in the individual awards represent getting a finalist in the category who didn't win.  You received 1 point for that this year.


The rewarding of bonus points for someone being the only person to get a correct prediction in a category goes as follows. 

Adam - Ohio St winning the Big 10
Voyten - FAU winning Conference USA

That is it.


Bonus Points. 


I'll also attach the bonus point spread sheet.  If you can figure out my weird method to follow it.  But here's the overall totals here.

Rob 21
Alex  14
Hale  11.5
Shawn  11.5
Adam  11
Folden  10
Joe 9.5
Munez  8.5
Gary 8
John 8
Eplin  6.5
Jim  5.5



OVERALL STANDINGS

Here's where we stand at this point:

Rob 71
Adam 61
Alex 59
Shawn 55.5
Hale 51
Gary 50
Joe 43.5
Folden 39
Munez 37.5
Eplin 33
John 26.5
Jim 17


Still a lot of fluctuation and 2 categories taht haven't even started being counted yet.  Until next time.

Updates Updates

Hey guys been a few weeks since I updated.  So let's see where we stand.

Fantasy Football

The regular season has come to an end, and we have some resolutions.  Alex made the unbelievable comeback of his team starting 0-5 yet he still made the playoffs.  He won 7 of his last 8 games in the best comeback story I think in the 12 years of this league.  Well done Alex.

He beat Rob in an elimination type game, jumping him via the points scored tiebreaker.   

Joe hit a late season losing streak, dropping him to a tie at 7-6 along with Rob and Alex, his points scored helping him to stay in the 5 seed. 

I had a late season surge to power myself to 8-5 and the 4 seed, helped a little bit by Folden's strategy of not playing a QB or WR in the last game of the season. 

Munez finishes at 9-4 and in the 3 seed, tied with Shawn and Hale, but beaten by the point tie break.

Shawn and Hale end as our 1 and 2 seed and enjoy the luxuries of a first round bye.

Points so Far

Rob was in great playoff position, but went 1-3 down the stretch, and just about every other game went the worst way possible for Rob. 

Folden fell apart at the end finishing in 8th. 

Gary pulled out 2 wins to end the season, which brought him from last to 9th, which is a big difference of 3 points in the final overall football god standings.

John finished in 10th, Jim 11th, and Eplin's 7 game losing streak ends the year for him in 12th.

Rob 6
Folden 5
Gary 4
John 3
Jim 2
Eplin 1

Shawn and Hale are guarenteed somewhere between 12-9 points.  The rest of us could fall to 8 or 7 points.

Matchups
\
Munez Vs Alex

Man this one looks bad for Munez.  Alex's team is putting up about 150 points a game.  That being said, noone's stifled their opponents scores this year like Munez.  He's like the bitter poison pill to everyone he plays. 

The winner gets Hale the Snail.

Adam Vs Joe

I've been lucky enough to play Joe twice this year and beat him twice this year.  I feel like this luck is going to run out.  I've got some injury issues and Joe's team looks like it's finally fully healthy. 


Survivor Pool


The survivor Pool has dropped to 4 people with 4 weeks to go.  Rob lost his 1 game cushion by choosing Carolina last week.  This loss also knocked Hale out of the running. 

Eplin was able to make it through the tiebreak round with the high points for the group of people who got knocked out a few weeks ago.

Here's where our points are laid out so far.

Hale 8
Eplin 7
Shawn 5.5
Joe 5.5
Jim 4
Folden 3
John 2
Munez 1


Losers Pool

The losers pool is closer to it's resolution.  Shawn already won the losers pool.  Rob & Eplin were just eliminated tied for 4th.  So they'll play things out for 4th and 5th.  And Gary and I are playing for 2nd and 3rd.  Here's our point totals at the moment:

Shawn 12
Adam 11 or 10
Gary 11 or 10
Rob 9 or 8
Eplin 9 or 8
Munez 6.5
Joe 6.5
John 4
Hale 3
Alex 2
Folden 1


College Pick'em

We're in our final week of the pick'em, and Rob's got that shit locked up.  He's up by 10 and there are only 8 games available to pick from.  Shawn and Alex are a point apart for 2nd, Munez and Folden likely fighting it out for 4th and 5th.  It appears there's some room for everyone to rise of fall a little bit.

Pro Pick'em

Alex is trying to go wire to wire in the lead here.  He's got a several game lead.  We'll get more into that next week. 

The College Pick'em points will start rolling in next week, we'll get to that then too.


Bonus Points. 

So, I'll try to do as comprehensive of a review of who has earned what in our bonus points so far.

Fantasy Football Bonus point for highest score of week.

Alex 3
Rob 3
Joe 2
Shawn 2

Shawn 3
Hale 3

Total bonus points at this point. 

Alex 10
Rob 9
Hale 5 1/2
Shawn 5 1/2
Munez 5 1/2
Joe 4 1/2
Folden 4
Gary 4
Adam 4
Jim 2 1/2
Eplin 1 1/2
John 1 1/2


Of course this is without factoring any category winners or the prediction bonus's so that's going to change big time.  There are only two weeks left in the bonus points for pick'ems. So, the number we get from that will be everyone's baseline going forward so I don't have to add these up again. 


So, basically, at this point, I still can't give you guys a mock of the standings.  However, once the college predictions mostly roll in tomorrow we can start with some mocked standings so everyone can see where they are.  Those will of course be without pro predictions or the bowl pick'em.

ALSO, Everyone sign up for Bowl pick'em on ESPN.  You should have gotten an email link.  Thanks guys.  Hopefully an update next week!
