DFC Week Four Results

Here are the weekly results for DFC VI Week Four... corrections have been made to Jon Osborne's TBA, Mark Gainey's record and Lori Smith is 10th now in the DFC Power Poll

Weekly Winners
Joining the group consisting of Lori, Drew, The Wookiee and Tad (which shares one of his wins), Justin Glenn becomes the fifth person in DFC History to claim his third lifetime weekly win, and completes just the 13th undefeated week ever. And, he also is the 2nd person to have 2 regular season undefeated weeks in a career, having done it once before in Week 5 of DFC III. What's more impressive is when you toss in his 8-0 Wild Card Weekend peformance of the DFC IV playoffs, he's now the only person to go 8-0 three different times. Congrats Justin.

In second place for the week, at 7-1, is Matt Latta, while rookie Jason Barnette takes 3rd for the week at 7-1. Tad is in 4th, at 6-2, and Scott Latta rounds out the top five with 6-2. 6th place is Tommy McLeod, tied for 7th is Young Garrett Cheney and DMOsborne, and in 9th is Jason Demastus. Tied for 10th is Mark Gainey and Lori Smith, both at 5-3

Also finishing:
5-3: Jenn Ernst, Eddy McBroom, Eddy Jr, Jon Osborne, Daniel Powell, Tim Wasyluka, Gina Williams
4-4: Tom Johnson, Tebe Shaw, Drew Morris, Jason Duren, Yours Truly, Ryan Sherman
3-5: Ty Coffey, Angie Pilgrim, Sarah Hasha
2-6: Michael Nipp, Tyler Campbell
0-8: Willis Watkins

Standings
Fulaytar Conference
North Division
The Great Bear of the North, Matt Latta, has finally risen to his title--at least after Week Four. He and DMO hold a tie over the lead, while the TBA's importance comes in to play. Three games back, a three way tie ensues for 3rd place, as Tom finally begins to show he's got some experience in this game. Angie's early season victories are long forgotten, while Ty is contiuning to show signs of improvement and DFC maturity. This is shaping up to be a pretty good division.
Matt Latta, 21-11 (15.5)
DMOsborne, 21-11 (16.5)
Tom Johnson, 17-15 (13.5)
Angie Pilgrim, 17-15 (15.25)
Ty Coffey, 17-15 (19.5)

MidCentral Division
Justin is showing all the signs of a champion, as his 8-0 week continues to pour on the domination over the league. Tommy also is rolling, while rookie Jason is showing why he was ranked in the Top Ten in preseason. This is a rebuilding year for Jennifer, while Tebe's struggles continue.
Justin Glenn, 24-8 (10.25)
Tommy McLeod, 22-10 (15.0)
Jason Barnette, 18-14 (14.5)
Jenn Ernst, 16-16 (12.25)
Tebe Shaw, 15-17 (12.25)

West Division
Duren and Tim Wasyluka are truly the only people to have led their division from day one, as Jason is hoping that the mid-season "slowdown" doesnt occur this time around. Sarah and Demastus also do well, while Eddy is seemingly finding his groove... Drew we still dont know about.
Jason Duren, 20-12 (20.33)
Sarah Hasha, 18-14 (14.75)
Jason Demastus, 18-14 (19.5)
Eddy McBroom, 17-15 (10.0)
Drew Morris, 16-16 (13.5)

McBroom Conference
East Division
The Mighty Gainey keeps his track to regular season dominance followed by a playoff collapse, as Yours Truly's pick of Oregon over USC doesn't seem like such a good idea now.... with a correction, however, we are both tied at the top. Though he showed early signs of success, Tyler has fallen behind Garrett once again. See the note on Willis below.
Mark Gainey, 18-14 (12.5)
Yours Truly, 18-14 (14.75)
Garrett Cheney, 17-15 (21.75)
Tyler Campbell, 15-17 (9.0)
Willis Watkins, 10-22 (11.0)

South Central Division
Perhaps my hopes that one day Jon and Scott making the playoffs might actually come true, though it is early. Of course, Jon was never good enough for a recognizeable season collapse, but Scott still has to be careful. Very competitive division, as Tad's last place record here would be good enough for 2nd in the East, South and West divisions.
Jon Osborne, 21-11 (7.0)
Scott Latta, 20-12 (14.75)
Eddy McBroom Jr, 20-12 (18.0)
Lori Smith, 19-13 (13.25)
Tad Roose, 19-13 (14.25)

South Division
The weakest division in the league right now, as Tim still holds a solid 3 game lead over Gina and Daniel, five over Ryan, and Michael... poor Michael... need I say any more?
Tim Wasyluka, 20-12 (15.5)
Gina Williams, 17-15 (10.75)
Daniel Powell, 17-15 (12.5)
Ryan Sherman, 15-17 (20.25)
Michael Nipp, 13-19 (13.75)

The DFC 500
Though it sounds like a NASCAR race, its actually in recognition of the DFC's 500 game selection (regular season). It was supposed to be Tennessee/LSU, but the weather had other plans, so the 500th game to be played within the confines of the DFC regular season was none other than... Cincinnati Bengals taking on Chicago Bears. Cincy won, 24-7. Tebe, Jennifer & Tom picked Chi-town... everyone else had sense.

The Willis Watkins Controversy
Willis is a rookie in my division, the East Division, who leads a very busy life and has missed sending in his picks 2 1/2 of the four weeks of the season (1/2 because he gave me his pro games at church). Now, there is someone else who is standing by ready to jump in--he only missed the DFC sign up earlier because he misunderstood the email to begin with. Previously, I told him that I could just slide him in and slide Willis out--
--before you cry foul, there is a precedence for this... Ty Coffey took over for an injured Shawn Sharp in DFC III, while Eddy McBroom Jr jumped in and took over for someone in DFC II--
--but it would be unfair just to punt because I never spoke to Willis about his dismissal. So, here's the deal... to make it fair, I'll make this DFC announcement. If Willis misses his picks once more (he has gotten them in for Week Five), he'll be suspended for substance abuse, and given an invitation next year. His replacement will fill the spot, we'll use previous methods of record adjustment and such. I see this as the best course of action, to be fair all around--a warning given, with a backup plan ready to go.
If there are any thoughts to this process--both in agreement or disagreement--please let me The DFC Admin (me) know.

Lies, Darn Lies and Statistics
--Let's begin today with the drive for 300... Jennifer has already gotten there, and barring disaster, I'm there this week (298). Michael (293) may come this week, probably the next, while closing in is Tommy (288), DMO (287), Tom (285) and Matt (283)
--The scary thing about Jennifer's three season reign atop the all time win list is not only is she a girl, not only did she cross 300 wins at least a week before everyone, but she's not even at 200 losses yet, which no other DFC'er in their 6th season can say that. She has 197, so that may change this week, but impressive nonetheless.
--Tad Roose had all of one week to enjoy his spot in the All Time Top Ten before Justin Glenn blew out the week at 8-0. Now they both sit tied for 10th on the all time list, both with 247 wins. Given the slower season that Big Eddy is having, its feasible that Justin, and even Tad, can catch him in 9th place, where he is with 260 lifetime wins.
--Lori looks to be the next at 200 wins, as she's at 192, while Tim's 184 wins aren't far behind. Garrett is 19 away from 100 wins, while Tyler's 63 total wins so far this year leaves him 37 from 100... its possible. Not likely, but possible.
--Taking a look at college, that 10th spot on the All Time College list vacated by Wookiee earlier this year is a three way battle between Drew (151), Jon (150) and Tad (150)
--Demastus has 98 college wins in his career, and can not only hit 100, but can at least tie, if not pass the retired Shawn Sharp for 24th on the all time college list. Seems like a distant ranking, but hey, thats the way you do it.
--The rookies are starting to make some headway... Gina Williams' 12 college wins this year just passed Ross Kingrey (retired) for 35th on the all time list.
--The list of "Top Ten All Season" in the DFC Power Poll just got a name shorter... Sarah drops to 14th overall, after spending the first three weeks in the DFC Power Poll. That leaves Justin, Tommy and DMOsborne.
--Daniel crawls out of the Bottom 10, however, to 19th overall, the first time he's been above 20th all season. Rookie Jason Barnette also reaches that feat, going from 21st, to 28th, to 26th all the way up to 13th in the league this week.
