The DFC Power Poll top three to finish the season is Mark, Yours Truly and Lori Smith. Mark's streak of .500 or better finishes extends to 33 regular season weeks.

Wild Card Weekend
In the Roose Conference, Big Eddy's 8-0 was huge, and DMO's 6-2 beat out Jenn's 6-2 via tiebreak, while Tom's 5-3 went up in smoke. In the Ernst Conference, Michael and Wookiee both scored 8-0 weeks, beating my 5-3 and Lil Eddy's 6-2.

Divisional Playoffs
Justin tanked, going 2-6, and DMO's tiebreak luck ran out, losing 4-4 to Big Eddy's 4-4, while Drew coasted into his third Final Four at 5-3. On the other side, Mark and Chris both had 5-3 records, enough to beat Mikey's and Lori's 4-4.

Final Four
Drew had a 6-2 record, but Eddy's 7-1 was better, sending him to his first DeuceBowl, while Mark once again choked at the end, losing 5-3 to Wookiee's 6-2.

Deuce Bowl V
Both Eddy and Chris went 5-3, but Arizona's 31 to St Louis's 7 gave the TB 38 points total... enough for Chris' guess of 41 to beat Eddy's 45, as The Wookster wins his 2nd DFC title in three years.
