The dust has temporarily settled, and there's a shake up in the standings. How much of one, I'm unsure of, but let's journey through this together, and see where we all stand.
SURVIVOR POOL
The Survivor Pool has ended. One by one people fell, starting with Jim in week 2, and going until week 13. But, as my pick of the Steelers prevailed, Shawn's Washington pick did not. That's a big 50 point bonus to me.
PICK'EM
Colin stepped on everyone's throat finishing the college pick'em with a 10 point lead over 2nd place.
Civ had 17 correct predictions this weekend, giving him his 4th 10 point bonus of the season.
Folden had 11 correct pro games, keeping his lead going strong. Rob kept pace, staying 4 games back. Joe dropped one to 5 back. Geiss and Jim sit at 6 back.
PRESEASON PREDICTIONS
Let's go through the predictions and who got what right.
4 teams in the College Football Playoff
Alabama (Adam Jim, Joe, Munez, Rob, Geiss, Civ)
Clemson (Jim)
Michigan St (Voyten, Eplin)
Oklahoma
ACC Champion Clemson (Adam, Jim, Folden, Joe)
AAC Champion Houston (Voyten, Eplin)
Big 10 Champion Michigan St (noone)
SEC Champion Alabama (Adam, Jim, Joe, Munez, Rob, Geiss, Civ)
Pac 12 Champion Stanford (Civ)
Big 12 Champion Oklahoma (noone)
MAC Champion (Eplin, Joe)
Sun Belt Champion Arkansas St (Voyten, Munez, Colin, Rob, Civ)
Mountain West Champion San Diego St (Adam)
Conference USA Champion Western Kentucky (Adam, Jim, Voyten, Folden, Joe, Colin, Rob, Eplin, Gary)
So this is how the points stand out for that.
Jim 100
Joe 100
Adam 100
Voyten 80
Rob 80
Civ 80
Eplin 80
Munez 60
Colin 40
Folden 40
Geiss 40
Gary 20
As far as the individual awards go, nobody has a finalist for the Doak Walker award or the Chuck Bendarik award, or the Heisman.
Rob, Gary, and Jim each have a finalist for the Biletnikoff award, and Joe still has a good shot for the AP coach of the year award winner. We'll have to wait for that though.
NFL Predictions
The cherry has also been popped on the NFL Predictions. The Panthers clinched their division this weekend, giving Joe, Munez, Eplin, and Gary 15 points.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
The season is over, and it didn't happen without some drama.
Jim earned the first round bye, beating Civ this weekend, solely because of Antonio Brown's punt return for a td. This caused Civ to lose and Folden to lose the first round bye. Just another reason for more people to hate Jacoby Jones.
Joe beat Rob by about 2 points, sweating it out Monday night, while getting outscored by Eplin by 24 points. This means Eplin only missed the playoffs by about 9 points in the tie break. Hell of a come back by Eplin, he ended up just short.
This means Joe, who started 0-4 made the playoffs. Me and Civ who both started 0-3 ended up in the playoffs as well.
Colin, despite being 9TH IN THE LEAGUE in points. Finished the season on an 8 game winning streak and in first place.
Rob, despite being 5th in points, finished with an average of 116 points a game scored against, will miss out on the playoffs.
Here's how the playoff bracket looks
1. Colin
Bye
4. Adam
5. Civ
3. Folden
6. Joe
2. Jim
Bye
Jim and Colin each earn 20 points on top of their score for the first round bye. The winners of the two quarterfinal matchups will also get 20 points.
So, let's see where we all end up now.
Fantasy Football points + College pick'em + Pro Pick'em + Predictions + (Bonus)
NOTE: The Bonus will include not only the weekly pick'em bonus, but Colin's 40 point bonus for the college pick'em and my 50 point bonus for the survivor pool. The first round bye bonus will be figured into fantasy score.
The college and pro predictions are all included in one.
Colin 120+138+107+40+ (50)=455
Jim 110+118+116+100+(10)=454
Folden 90+125+122+40+(30)=407

Update 12-1-15
This is the last week before the Conference champions are named. Scores are going to get whacky, and they're starting to this week. Let's start and go through everything.
SURVIVOR POOL
And we're down to 2. Joe made the mistake of trusting the Jacksonville Jaguars and has hit the bricks.
It's down to Shawn and I, after we both watched as Arizona squeeked by San Francisco on Sunday.
40 points are on the line for the victor.
PREDICTIONS
The first Prediction of the year is in! Unfortunately, none of us got it correct, as Oklahoma won the Big 12 championship.
As far as it goes, there are 8 conference championships this weekend. Many of which people are still in line to win.
PICK'EM
Put a fork in college pick'em people, because it's done. Colin has a 7 point lead with only 6 games up for grabs this week. Congrats Colin, you win the 40 point bonus.
Pro Pick'em was more of the same this week.
Folden got 10 predictions correct, tying him with Joe, Rob, and myself. Meaning that noone gained any ground.
His lead is at 4 over Joe and Rob, 5 over me, and 6 over Geiss and Jim.
With 22 correct between both pick'ems Rob wont the 10 point bonus. This leaves Joe as the only person to not get a pick'em bonus this year.
This is the last week for 10 point pick'em bonus before we revert back to the 5 point bonus after the college pick'em is finished.
Colin 50
Adam 35
Civ 30
Folden 30
Gary 20
Eplin 15
Voyten 10
Jim 10
Munez 10
Rob 10
Dan 5
That is the bonus points that everyone has acquired this year. Colin's includes his pick'em overall win bonus.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
One more week of Fantasy Football. Let's go through it.
In for sure
1. Folden 9-3
2. Colin 9-3
3. Jim 8-4
4. Adam 7-5
5. Civ 7-5
Civ and I haven't technically clinched a spot yet, but it's near impossible for either of us to be passed based on the tie break. (barring a 50 point output by Civ)
This is essentially jockying for position. If Jim beats Civ this weekend, then Folden and Colin's game essentially becomes a play in ame for the first round bye. Whichever one of them loses, won't pass Jim in points for the tie break (barring, again, a 50 point or under game by Jim)
On the verge
6. Joe 6-6
7. Eplin 6-6
8. Rob 5-7
This is where things get interesting. Here's how each person here gets into the playoffs. the easiest one is Rob. If he beats Joe and Eplin loses, he's in. It's that simple.
Eplin would need to win and hope that Joe either loses, or that if Joe wins, he outscores him by 30 points.
Joe would need to win and not get outscored by Eplin by 30 points. Those are your playoff scenarios.
Out of it
Munez 5-7
Shawn 4-8
Gary 3-9
Geiss 3-9
Munez fell out of it last week, and Geiss picked up his 3rd win.
Points: Fantasy wins + college pick'em + pro pick'em + bonus = total score
1. Folden 90+122+111+(30)=353
2. Colin 90+133+98+(50)=371
3. Jim 80+118+105+(10)=313
4. Adam 70+123+106+(35)=334
5. Civ 70+119+90+(30)=309
6. Joe 60+118+107=285
7. Eplin 60+126+100+(15)=301
8. Rob 50+126+107+(10)=293
9. Munez 50+120+95+(10)=275
10. Shawn 40+122+103+(10)=275
11. Gary 30+119+88+(20)=257
12. Geiss 30+119+105+(5)=259
1. Colin 371
2. Folden 353
3. Adam 334
4. Jim 313
5. Civ 309
6. Eplin 301
7. Rob 293
8. Joe 285
t9 Munez 275

Quck Thanksgiving Roundup
I'm not going to do a point update this week, but I wanted to give a quick round up of what went down over the weekend.
Survivor Pool
The Survivor Pool took it's 9th victim of the year. Rob had Philadelphia who got slaughtered by Tampa Bay. I'll let Rob play himself out here, "Tampa Bay knocked out both of my teams this year. Most hated team forever now." Well put.
That leaves, Joe, Shawn, and I left with 40 points on the line. Dallas got the job done for me, Jacksonville for Shawn, and Seattle for Joe.
Pick'ems
Colin widened his lead in the college pick'em. He's now up 5 over Eplin and 6 Rob and I. A solid week this week will probably seal this for Colin.
Folden opened up to a 3 point lead after he had a good week and Jim had a bad one. Jim, Rob, Joe, Me, Shawn, and Geiss are all within 6 points of Folden.
With 23 correct picks this weekend, Eplin has earned the 10 point bonus. This plus Eplin's fantasy win make this his best week in a couple of months.
Fantasy Football
Shawn and Gary were both eliminated from playoff contention over the weekend, each falling in their respective games.
Jim and Colin each clinched a playoff spot over the weekend with victories. My call of Jim getting upset by Geiss this weekend wasn't a very good one. Jim beat Geiss by 67 points.
So, with two weeks left where does that leave us for the playoffs?
In for sure
1. Jim (8-3)
2. Folden (8-3)
3. Colin (8-3)
4. Civ (7-4)
Civ hasn't techically clinched a playoff spot according to Yahoo, but one look at the schedule shows you he's in. At 1180 points, two 5-6 teams (of which there are 4) would have to win out and pass him in points. The only two that could realistically do that at this point are Rob and Joe, who play each other in the last week of the season. So Civ's in.
The rest of the season is going to be about finding out which of these two teams gets the first round bye. Folden and Civ play one another this week, next week Folden plays Colin and Civ plays Jim. Exciting finishes at the top.
On the verge
5. Adam (6-5)
At 6-5 I would need to win one more game to get into the playoffs. This being for the same reason as I had with Civ. I play 1st place Jim, and close out with Shawn.
On the fringe
6. Rob (5-6)
7. Joe (5-6)
8. Eplin (5-6)
9. Munez (5-6)
All with the same record, yet all in much different positions. It's pretty simple for Rob and Joe. Win this week and then the winner of their game is definitely in.
For Eplin and Munez it's the same. They play each other in Week 13, so the surest way to getting in the playoffs is to win out.
Rob and Eplin play each other in Week 12, so we can look at this as another elimination game for Eplin. Munez plays Colin and is the same for him.
Because of his points scored it's feasible for Rob to lose this week and still get in. He would just need to finish in a tie for 6th place.
I guess there are still many possibilities.
Out of playoff contention
10. Shawn
11. Gary
12. Geiss
Good season boys. Sometimes it just isn't your year.
I'll be back next week with a point update before the College Football conference champions are announced. Happy Thanksgiving.

Weekend Preview:
Let's take a look at the fantasy games this weekend.
Adam 5-5 vs Civ 7-3
Civ has a 7 game winning streak, and my team can't string together 2 wins in a row to save it's life. Here comes Civ clinching a playoff spot.
Upset Alert: Jim 7-3 vs Geiss 2-8
Jim's starting QB is out and Antonio Brown is on Bye. Looks like a good time for Geiss to get that 3rd win.
Gary 3-7 vs Eplin 4-6
Gary and Eplin both need to win to have any chance for playoffs. Gary is 3-7 despite having the 6th most points in the league. Poor bastard.
Rob 5-5 vs Colin 7-3
Rob loves to mention how he has the most points against him by far this year. On top of that, as shitty as Colin's team was early in the year, it's actually scored quite a few points the past 4 weeks.
Colin for the win.
Munez 4-6 vs Folden 8-2
Munez is freefalling, Folden just keeps fucking winning. Munez needs a win to stay in the playoff hunt.
Game of the Week: Joe 4-6 vs Shawn 4-6
This is as close to an elimination game as we're going to have this week. The winner clings on for another week, while the loser is out of the playoffs.
Survivor Pool:
Shawn already moved on with the ballsy Jacksonville Jaguars pick. That leaves Joe, Rob, and I to fight it out on Sunday. Someone is going down this week. Blood in the water and the sharks are circling.
Predictions:
This is actually a huge week for the predictions. The way that a lot of conferences positioned their schedules we have a lot of games that will decide each side of the conferences the next two weeks.
After Saturday we will have a very clear version of what's going to happen.

Football God Update: 11/18/2015
We are closing in on the conference champions and the first big point shake up of the season.
Looking at the chart, there isn't a clear cut leader heading down the stretch. Most people have a couple of playoff teams that aren't going to make it. Most people have a couple of teams winning their conference that isn't going to happen.
So, there is no real reason to project much for now. Instead we'll just do a normal update.
SURVIVOR POOL
It's been three weeks since the last survivor pool update, and it's only led to one casualty. Geiss picked the Saints in Week 9, leading to his elimination. Week 10 had Joe, Rob, Shawn, and I all picking Carolina.
New Orleans was universally the worst pick of the season for everyone. They were responsible for 7 strikes this year, the Cardinals and Ravens the next closest with 3 strikes a piece.
Basically, the Survivor Pool could end any week now. Exciting finish.
COLLEGE PICK'EM
The college pick'em has fluctuated again. A couple of weeks ago Civ had a commanding lead. After a couple rough'ens, Colin now sits on top with 108 points. Rob and I are behind at 105, Civ at 104. Folden, Eplin, and Shawn are at 102 and 101.
With 3 weeks to go, it'll be difficult for anyone else to catch up, unless they have a monster week this week.
PRO PICK'EM
The Pro Pick'em is similar. Folden had a big lead, and squandered it with a very bad week 10 performance. Because of that he's opened the door for people to get back into it, he now shares the lead with Jim at 92 points.
Rob and Joe are 3 points back at 89. Shawn and I are at 87. Geiss is at 86. After that there is a drop off.
Pick'em Bonus
Week 1: Adam, Dan, Eplin (5 point)
Week 2: Adam
Week 3: Colin, Gary, Munez
Week 4: Folden
Week 5: Jim, Gary, Civ
Week 6: Civ
Week 7: Civ, Voyten
Week 8: Adam
Week 9: Folden
Week 10: Folden
Week 11: Adam
Adam 35
Civ 30
Folden 30
Gary 20
Voyten 10
Jim 10
Munez 10
Colin 10
Dan 5
Eplin 5
Those are the pick'em bonuses so far this year, along with how many points each person has earned in them.
Since our last update, Folden won the bous 2 weeks in a row, while I won this most recent week. Folden, Civ, and I are dominating the bonuses this year, with Gary doing pretty well too.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
With 3 weeks to go in the regular season, we finally have our first playoff spot clinched. At 8-2 Folden has punched his ticket.
Right behind him at 7-3 is Civ, Jim, and Colin. Each needing one more win to clinch their spot as well. Jim and Folden are in position for the 1st round byes at this time.
Civ is on a 7 game winning streak since starting the season 0-3, pretty impressive. Colin is 7-3 despite being 8th in points scored, and also being a huge douchebag.
Rob and I are both at 5-5 and on the ledge of the playoffs.
Behind us at 4-6 are Joe, Eplin, Munez, and Shawn.
At this point, Geiss is officially eliminated from playoff contention, and Gary is very very close. For Gary to get into the playoffs he would have to win out and hope that he wins a point tie breaker against any other 6-7 teams that may be tied for 6th. One more loss and he's certainly done. And, even if he wins out he may be out too.
For Rob and I at 5-5 we sort of have a 2 game lead over the 4-6 teams. We have more than 100 points more than any of them, so we would win a tie breaker against any of them. Joe, Eplin, Munez, and Shawn need to win and hope that we lose to have a shot going down the stretch.
The playoff picture looks like this right now
1 Folden
Bye
4 Colin
5 Adam
3 Civ
6 Rob
Bye

Obviously these stats are very driven by fantasy point totals. There has been less separation in the pick'ems than usual. Bonus points and fantasy points are the main decider so far.
The next update will be the week of Conference championships. So we can have one more update before things go fucking insane.
Looking at the chart, there isn't a clear cut leader heading down the stretch. Most people have a couple of playoff teams that aren't going to make it. Most people have a couple of teams winning their conference that isn't going to happen.
So, there is no real reason to project much for now. Instead we'll just do a normal update.
SURVIVOR POOL
It's been three weeks since the last survivor pool update, and it's only led to one casualty. Geiss picked the Saints in Week 9, leading to his elimination. Week 10 had Joe, Rob, Shawn, and I all picking Carolina.
New Orleans was universally the worst pick of the season for everyone. They were responsible for 7 strikes this year, the Cardinals and Ravens the next closest with 3 strikes a piece.
Basically, the Survivor Pool could end any week now. Exciting finish.
COLLEGE PICK'EM
The college pick'em has fluctuated again. A couple of weeks ago Civ had a commanding lead. After a couple rough'ens, Colin now sits on top with 108 points. Rob and I are behind at 105, Civ at 104. Folden, Eplin, and Shawn are at 102 and 101.
With 3 weeks to go, it'll be difficult for anyone else to catch up, unless they have a monster week this week.
PRO PICK'EM
The Pro Pick'em is similar. Folden had a big lead, and squandered it with a very bad week 10 performance. Because of that he's opened the door for people to get back into it, he now shares the lead with Jim at 92 points.
Rob and Joe are 3 points back at 89. Shawn and I are at 87. Geiss is at 86. After that there is a drop off.
Pick'em Bonus
Week 1: Adam, Dan, Eplin (5 point)
Week 2: Adam
Week 3: Colin, Gary, Munez
Week 4: Folden
Week 5: Jim, Gary, Civ
Week 6: Civ
Week 7: Civ, Voyten
Week 8: Adam
Week 9: Folden
Week 10: Folden
Week 11: Adam
Adam 35
Civ 30
Folden 30
Gary 20
Voyten 10
Jim 10
Munez 10
Colin 10
Dan 5
Eplin 5
Those are the pick'em bonuses so far this year, along with how many points each person has earned in them.
Since our last update, Folden won the bous 2 weeks in a row, while I won this most recent week. Folden, Civ, and I are dominating the bonuses this year, with Gary doing pretty well too.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
With 3 weeks to go in the regular season, we finally have our first playoff spot clinched. At 8-2 Folden has punched his ticket.
Right behind him at 7-3 is Civ, Jim, and Colin. Each needing one more win to clinch their spot as well. Jim and Folden are in position for the 1st round byes at this time.
Civ is on a 7 game winning streak since starting the season 0-3, pretty impressive. Colin is 7-3 despite being 8th in points scored, and also being a huge douchebag.
Rob and I are both at 5-5 and on the ledge of the playoffs.
Behind us at 4-6 are Joe, Eplin, Munez, and Shawn.
At this point, Geiss is officially eliminated from playoff contention, and Gary is very very close. For Gary to get into the playoffs he would have to win out and hope that he wins a point tie breaker against any other 6-7 teams that may be tied for 6th. One more loss and he's certainly done. And, even if he wins out he may be out too.
For Rob and I at 5-5 we sort of have a 2 game lead over the 4-6 teams. We have more than 100 points more than any of them, so we would win a tie breaker against any of them. Joe, Eplin, Munez, and Shawn need to win and hope that we lose to have a shot going down the stretch.
The playoff picture looks like this right now

5 Adam

Football God Update: 10/27/15
All Hallow's Eve is upon us. So here's your super scary Football God update.
TRENDING UPWARD
Four weeks ago Civ was in 11th in the college and pro pick'em, and 0-3 in the fantasy league. He seemed dead in the water for Football God.
Four weeks later and he's 4-3 in fantasy and 1st in the college pick'em. He's still balls in the pro pick'em, but it's an impressive turnaround. What's even more impressive is that he earned at least a share of the 10 point bonus every week for 3 of those 4 weeks as well.
TRENDING DOWNWARD
Our other newbie, Eplin, started hte fantasy season 3-1. Since then he's gone 0-3. He's in 10th in the pro pick'em, and hasn't had a pick'em bonus since week 1. Eplin is in 3rd in the college pick'em, so there is reason not be optimistic there.
SURVIVOR SPOOKINESS
The last two weeks of the Survivor Pool have had opposite results. At the beginning of Week 6 there were 7 people remaining in the pool. We took 6 different games between the 7 of us, nearly guaranteeing that some people would lose. Instead, everyone moved onto the following week.
Week 7 wasn't as fortunate to everyone. Munez chose the Chargers over the Raiders, which back fired. And, Folden made the very ballsy pick of not picking anyone at all. This move is unprecedented...and stupid. Apparently, Folden forgot to make his pick, while moving into his new house. Congrats on the house, homey. Diapers on your pick.
So, heading into week 8, we still have 5 people remaining (Rob, Shawn, Adam, Geiss, and Joe).
COLLEGE AND PRO PICK'EM
There are 6 weeks left of the college pick'em season and here is where we stand.
Civ has 83 and a 2 point lead over Colin. Eplin and I are both 5 points back. Rob, Munez , and Jim are all 7 points back. Everyone else is 8 to 10 points back.
So, for now. Anyone can still win this thing, however those that are further back need to make a move now or lose out on the big 40 point winning bonus. Simple as that.
In the Pro Pick'em there is still more time to make some moves.
Rob has the lead there with 70 points with Shawn only one point behind at 69. Folden and Jim are 2 points back at 68. The rest of us are between 66 and 58 with Gary bringing up the rear.
For the Bonus, I won the 10 points this week with a combined 22 points, 1 point in front of Folden and Rob.
Here are the pick'em bonus results so far by week this year.
Week 1: Adam, Dan, Eplin
Week 2: Adam
Week 3: Colin, Gary, Munez
Week 4: Folden
Week 5: Jim, Gary, Civ
Week 6: Civ
Week 7: Civ, Voyten
Week 8: Adam
FANTASY FOOTBALL
This weekend Geiss got his 2nd win, and Folden his 2nd loss. Meaning that the records from 1st to 12th are between 5-2 and 2-5.
Rob beat Gary this week to move to 4-3, Gary fell to 3-4
Colin (4-3) pounded me (3-4)
Jim (5-2) beat Folden (5-2)
Voyten (4-3) beat Munez (3-4)
Geiss (2-5) beat Eplin (3-4)
Civ (4-3) beat Joe (2-5)
TOTAL SCORES
Fantasy wins (10 points each) + pro pick'em + college pick'em + bonus = total
Jim 50+68+76+(10)=204
Folden 50+68+73+(10)=201
Rob 40+70+76=186
Civ 40+59+83+(30)=212
Colin 40+63+81+(10)=194
Voyten 40+69+75+(10)=194
Adam 30+65+78+(25)=198
Gary 30+58+75+(20)=183
Eplin 30+60+78+(5)=173
Munez 30+61+76+(10)=177
Geiss 20+64+74+(5)=163
Joe 20+66+73=159
STANDINGS
1. Civ 212
2. Jim 204
3. Folden 201
4. Adam 198
t5. Colin 194
t5. Shawn 194
7. Rob 186
8. Gary 183
9. Munez 177
10. Eplin 173
11. Geiss 163
12. Joe 159
So, there we are. In 3 weeks Civ has gone from 11th to 1st.
Eplin and Munez both dropped 4 spots, but Gary had the furthest drop going from 3rd to 8th.
I jumped 4 spots from 8th to 4th. Other than that most people stayed close to where they were before.
Joe is holding down that McLane spot at dead last place. However, he's a much more competetive 12th place then his brother ever was. Our two time champion needs to get moving if he's going to have a shot to 3 peat.
That's it for this week. Happy Halloween fags.
