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.

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

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!
