Welcome to the 26th playoffs of the DFC... Defending champ DMOsborne seeks to become the 2nd back-to-back champ in four seasons... Drew Morris tries to complete one of the greatest seasons in DFC history with a 3rd title... Steven Ray and Mark Gainey also try to define their "GOAT" status with a 3rd title, while Zack Graves and Tad Roose seek to be THE GOAT with 4 championships to their names - (if Zack wins, it's his 3rd title in 4 years, and that is truly Dynasty status)... Matty Pinky hopes to finally get over the hump to take a title home to the Pinky household (to match upstart younger bro Mitchy's title) while Jacob Pinky seeks to redefine his career of losing in being a champion... and Garrison wants to make his hometown of Bainswick proud by getting his name on the plate... can Jeremy The Burgeler become the first rookie 23 seasons to win a championship? and finally, can Yours Truly actually win a title in a game I created?

TIEBREAK GAME
Florida State vs Clemson, total points scored
-------------------------
Playoff rules - 10 games, with a TB game. Your record and TBA from the regular season doesnt count going forward, except for determining the seeding in the playoffs.
Out of the 8 in this round, the best 4 records will move forward. Ties in record are broken by the TB game. If there is a tie after factoring in the TB, the higher seed breaks the tie (example, Jacob Pinky and Matty Pinky both finish 7-3, tied for the 4th spot to move forward, and both are 4pts off TB score, Jacob automatically moves on, Matty is eliminated. However, in the same scenario, if Matty is 4 pts off and Jacob is 5, Matty moves forward because of better TB, despite lower seeding)
