FF: Results Week 15 - Playoffs Week 2

The championship game is set. It will be PADS versus the Spies. The last time they met was to determine who would get a bye in the playoffs. Now they play for it all.

Here are last weeks games:

PADS(4) 106
USC(1) 87
The defending champ, PADS has taken down the number 1 seeded USC. These two teams have been battling all season for the top positions before PADS slide to fourth. USC had beaten PADS in their last meeting.

XII(6) 61
Spies(2) 80
The Spies beat up on Xillers II. It was apparent going into Monday night that the Spies would win. Xillers II had beaten the Spies in their other game this year.

Next week is the final game.

Spies vs PADS

PADS seems to have turned his fortune around in the playoffs but the Spies have been strong late this year.

It should be interesting.

FF: Results Week 14 - Playoffs Week 1

The first playoff games are over. Here are the results:

XII(6) 100
Expo(3) 54
This turned out to be a disappointing game for Expo and a sad way to end her season. Her bench out scored her starters 73 to 54. Still it wasn't a bad season for her. Xillers II moves on to the semi-finals.

Kato(5) 71
PADS(4) 127
PADS soundly defeated KatoBack. He had three 20+ players (34, 25, 24) lead him to victory. It will be an all human semi-finals. KatoBack had a reasonably good season, considering that she was basically a placeholder. She has nothing to be ashamed of.

Next week is the semi-finals.

PADS(4) vs USC(1)
PADS and USC had been fighting for the top spot all season (until PADS slipped to fourth in the final game). USC won their only other encounter.

Spies(2)
XII(6)
The Spies have been on a roll lately with four straight wins. However, Xillers II has been best against the top rated teams and won their last game.

Good luck.

FF: Results Week 13 - End of Regular Season

Well the regular season has come to an end.

POW(10) 74
USC(1.1) 110
USC handily beat POW to finish 10 and 3. USC had already clinched a first round bye but now he is the number 1 seed.

Expo(3.4) 91
Kato(5.5) 41
Expo did her part in trying to help Dragon Run. KatoBack scored the lowest total points of anyone all season and her bench sucked too. Both of these teams are in the playoffs.

Smash(8.8) 102
Drago(7) 79
SmashPanic acted as the spoiler in this game. DragonRun needed a win to make the playoffs but SP would have none of that. DragonRun ended the season with 4 consecutive loses. This outcome ensured that a non-human team would make the playoffs.

XII(5.6) 92
Snap It(8.9) 106
In a surprise win, Snap It's defense scored 49 points to overtake Xillers II. This brought Snap It into a three way tie for seventh with SmashPanic and DragonRun. Snap It has won both of their meetings. Xillers II will still be in the playoffs, in the number 6 spot.


PADS(1.2) 92
Spies(3.3) 128
The Spies got the high score for the week to secure the first round bye.

Final regular season rankings:

Seed Rank Team  Record Points  PA   Streak

10   10   POW   1-12-0 354     1257 L1

Dragon Run, Snap It and SmashPanic all tied for seventh place, just out of the playoffs. Their season is over but there's always next year.

First round of the playoffs:
USC(1) - BYE
Spies(2) - BYE

XII(6) vs Expo(3)
This is the worst draw for this household. Expo is favored but these teams have split their regular season meetings. Who will win this rubber match?

Kato(5) vs PADS(4)
These two teams also split their regular season games. PADS is heavily favored. KatoBack has been in a three game slump with their last game scoring only 41 points. I'm rooting for PADS.

Good luck to those teams in the playoffs.

FF: Results Week 12

This week the league scored the highest number of points all season. With a total of 1012, we beat the previous high (wk10: 895) by more than a hundred points.

USC(1.1) 111
Snap(8.9)62
USC routed Snap It to keep hold of the number one spot. He is assured a bye in the playoffs since he has the tie breaker against the teams that could tie his record. Congrats. The loss puts Snap It out of playoff contention. Interestingly enough, this is the first time that Snap It had the lowest weakly point total.

Smash(8.8) 106
Spies(3.3) 120
The Spies narrowly beat SmashPanic. She did it in standard form, by playing all of her highest point scorers. SmashPanic however, would have won if he would have started any other quarter back. This loss also ends his playoff chances. The spies are still in the hunt for a playoff bye. If she beats PADS next week, she will take it (because they will have split their series and she will have the secondary tie breaker, total points).

Kato(5.5) 74
PADS(1.2) 131
PADS took Kato basically by having more high scoring players. He is still tied for first place but he needs a win next week to get the bye. This loss by Kato leaves the door opened a crack for Dragon Run. PADS extends the longest current winning streak to 4 games.

XII(5.6) 93
POW(10) 114
Xillers II was the first to lose to KatoBack and now he is the first to lose to POW. Fortunately for him, he is guaranteed a playoff spot because of the loss by all of the teams below him in the standings.


Drago(7) 93
Expo(3.4) 108
Expo's win is a hollow one since she is now out of the running for the playoff bye. The loss was pretty bad for Dragon Run. To make the playoffs, he needs to win next week and have KatoBack lose.

Here are the standings. They are now in the order of their tournament hopes.

Seed Rank Team  Record Points  Streak
1    1.1  USC   9-3-0  1157    W2
2    1.2  PADS  9-3-0  1178    W4
3    3.3  Spies 8-4-0  1202    W3
4    3.4  Expo  8-4-0  1189    W1
5    5.5  Kato  6-6-0  991     L2
6    5.6  XII   6-6-0  1127    L1
-    7    Drago 5-7-0  1013    L3
-    8.8  Smash 4-8-0  1069    L3
-    8.9  Snap  4-8-0  942     L1
-    10   POW   1-11-0 279     W1

This week:

POW(10) vs USC(1.1)
In the least consequential game of the week, POW and USC face off. USC is guaranteed a bye and POW can't make the playoffs. Xillers II will be routing for POW since he doesn't want to be the only team that lost to them.

Expo(3.4) vs Kato(5.5)
With a win, Expo will move into third place but with a loss, she will stay at 4th. Dragon Run needs a Kato loss here.

Smash(8.8) vs Drago(7)
SmashPanic could be the spoilers here. Dragon Run needs a win to have a hope at the post season.

XII(5.6) vs Snap It(8.9)
In the second least consequential game, Xillers II play for the possibility of fifth place. I guess this one is for pride.

PADS(1.2) vs Spies(3.3) (GOTW)
The winner of this game determines who gets the first round bye. That should be exciting.

Good luck this week

FF: Results Week 11

Remember that because of thanksgiving, you need to set up your team earlier this week (ie there is are games on Thursday).

Drago(6.7) 78
USC(1.2) 91

Dragon Run needed to win this game and he would have if he had started his backup QB. But USC is glad that Leftwich's great game was unforeseeable.

Expo(1.1) 58
XII(6.6) 141

Xillers II grabbed the high score of the year to beat Expo (who had the low score of the week). This dropped Expo out of the first place tie.

POW(10) 62
PADS(1.3) 99

I know that POWs starters sucked this week but they were good last week, so I don't want to hear about it anymore. I'm sure that PADS didn't mind.

Spies(4.4) 100
Kato(4.5) 95
(GOTW)
The Spies edged out KatoBack by benching all the right people. Her bench scored a total of zero points.

Snap(9) 79
Smashpanic(8) 78

In an amazingly close game, Snap It has nearly killed SmashPanic's playoff hopes. The teams were tied late into Monday nights game when Snap It's WR caught a 1 pt pass to take the game. This is the second week in a row that Snap It has one by a point, which he deserves. We all remember the controversial one point loss to the Spies when Snap It lost his star RB due to glitches.

Here are the standings. They are now in the order of their tournament hopes.

Seed Rank Team  Record Points  Streak
1    1.1  USC   8-3-0  1046    W1
2    1.2  PADS  8-3-0  1047    W3
3    3.3  Spies 7-4-0  1082    W2
4    3.4  Expo  7-4-0  1081    L2
5    5.5  Kato  6-5-0  917     L1
6    5.6  XII   6-5-0  1034    W2
-    7    Drago 5-6-0  920     L2
-    8.8  Smash 4-7-0  963     L2
-    8.9  Snap  4-7-0  880     W2
-    10   POW   0-11-0 165     L11

Playoff rundown:

USC and PADS have a lock on the playoffs. They are just playing to get the first round byes.

The Spies and Expo are pretty much assured a spot. It is still possible (I think) for one of them to fall out but that is highly unlikely. I'm pretty sure that 7 wins gets you in the playoffs. These two are also hoping to snag one of those byes.

KatoBack and Xillers II are holding onto the last playoff positions.

But Dragon Run is only one game out. He has a real chance at the playoffs, especially if KatoBack starts losing since he has the head to head advantage.

SmashPanic and Snap it are pretty much out of the playoffs. Theoretically, there is still a chance that one of them can make it, but I'm not even sure of that.

This week:

USC(1.1) vs Snap(8.9)
Snap It can be a spoiler of USC's bid to be a top seed.

Smash(8.8) vs Spies(3.3)
SmashPanic can do the same spoiling action to the Spies.

Kato(5.5) vs PADS(1.2)
Another week of confliction in my house, I want PADS to win so KatoBack falls but Arial wants the opposite so she has a chance at a bye.

XII(5.6) vs POW(10)
I'm going to try to convince Arial to set up POW this week for me, so that I don't subconsciously sabotage him.

Drago(7) vs Expo(3.4)
Dragon Run needs this win to keep close to the playoffs. Surprisingly, Expo would like to win this as well.

Good luck this week
