DFC Week Six Results


Week Six Results

The Week That Was
He did it in the third week of Season 1 with a 6-2 record, he did it in Week 10 of DFC III (2002) with a 6-2 record, and now Matt Latta is the 10th member of the "At Least 3 Weekly Wins in a Career" club with a win this week... you guessed it--6-2. He's the Great Bear of the North... hear him roar.

Looking at the rest of the Top Ten for the week, Tim Wasyluka finishes at 6-2, as does DMOsborne and Ty Coffey, both at 6-2, for 3rd and 4th place. Tied for 5th is Scott Latta and Tommy McLeod, both at 5-3, while Tyler "Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell is in 7th at 5-3. Jon Osborne finishes in 8th at 5-3, Gina Williams in 9th at 5-3 and finally, Jason Duren in 10th at 5-3.

Also Finishing:
5-3: Angie Pilgrim, Lori Smith, Daniel Powell
4-4: Drew Morris, Eddy McBroom, Jason Demastus, Ryan Sherman, Mark Gainey, Yours Truly, Garrett Cheney, Eddy McBroom Jr, Tad Roose, Michael Nipp
3-5: Tom Johnson, Tebe Shaw, Sarah Hasha, Jason Barnette, Justin Glenn
2-6: Jenn Ernst

Standings
Fulaytar Conference

North Division
Not only making a run for the division crown, DMOsborne may be gunning for the MVP trophy with the kind of season he's having... however, a San Diego win the past Monday night would leave Matt Latta in front of the division via TB, so nothing is certain yet. Angie Mark Osborne is also keeping pace, making her bid for Rookie of the Year, while Ty Coffey is having a great season as well. Tom keeps at .500, but knows he's got to get some wins soon to make the postseason again.
DM Osborne, 32-16 (16.0)
Matt Latta, 30-18 (12.17)
Angie Pilgrim, 28-20 (16.17)
Ty Coffey, 27-21 (19.2)
Tom Johnson, 24-24 (12.17)

MidCentral Division
Having such a great year, Justin can afford one down week... but only one. Tommy is right on his back, one game behind, as this appears to be a two man race--a race that, for the first time in DFC history, doesn't include Jennifer Ernst, who is having a Michigan Wolverines kind of year... high expectations, low results. Jason is trying to pull away from Tebe and both are trying to avoid the division cellar.
Justin Glenn, 31-17 (12.2)
Tommy McLeod, 30-18 (12.8)
Jason Barnette, 24-24 (14.17)
Tebe Shaw, 22-26 (14.0)
Jennifer Ernst, 20-28 (12.8)

West Division
Duren has opened up a four game lead over Demastus, the largest in the league, and is looking to become a wire-to-wire division leader this season. Eddy, Drew and Sarah (and even Demastus) could all be a runner up, if only they could catch Jason Duren's commanding lead.
Jason Duren, 30-18 (18.4)
Jason Demastus, 26-22 (22.17)
Eddy McBroom, 25-23 (11.83)
Sarah Hasha, 25-23 (16.33)
Drew Morris, 23-25 (14.33)

McBroom Conference
East Division

Truly, the East Division has now become the NL West of the league. It hurts me to say that we, including Yours Truly and The Artist Formerly Known as the Mighty Gainey, are simply mediocre this season. This allows, however, Tyler "Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell to shine, especially with his stellar TBA, while Garrett's momentum from last season hasn't transferred to this year. The info on James Hawbaker is below.
Mark Gainey, 27-21 (11.6)
Tyler Campbell, 25-23 (9.0)
Garrett Cheney, 25-23 (21.67)
Yours Truly, 23-25 (12.5)
James Hawbaker, 9-31 (TBD)

South Central Division
Lattas and Osbornes abound this year, as both would get their first playoff berths this year if the playoffs started tomorrow... but alas, they don't. Eddy Jr, Tad and Lori are all within one good week of going from first to last and back again in the same weekend--its happened already.
Jonathan Osborne, 30-18 (10.5)
Scott Latta, 29-19 (13.0)
Eddy Mc Jr, 28-20 (19.0)
Tad Roose, 27-21 (13.33)
Lori Smith, 27-21 (13.33)

South Division
Big Tim keeps the lead in the division, as Daniel's beginning to gain a little. Gina also seems on the verge of breaking out, as she's only a good week or two away (though there are only six weeks left) while Michael is beginning to gain a little ground on Ryan to climb out of the bottom, a la Major League's Indians.
Tim Wasyluka, 29-19 (14.17)
Daniel Powell, 27-21 (13.5)
Gina Williams, 26-22 (12.17)
Ryan Sherman, 23-25 (25.67)
Michael Nipp, 19-29 (12.83)
Used Their TB Drop This Season:
Justin Glenn (1); Mark Gainey (1); Tommy McLeod (2); Jason Duren (3); Jenn Ernst (6); Ty Coffey (6)
DMOsborne has also used his TB for week 6, but it will not be reflected until next weeks standings.

The Introduction of James Hawbaker
Because he misunderstood the sign-up email, James--a friend of ours from Valleydale Church (an sbc fellowship) didn't sign up properly, and was therefore left out of the league though he wanted to join. I told him to make picks, because out of 30 participants, there was bound to be someone who didn't stay fully committed... and Willis Watkins wasn't able to finish. James has made picks for three of the six weeks, and his record came out to be 9-15. James will not be eligible for the playoffs this season, as he missed three weeks of the first half of the season, but I have full confidence he will not miss any more. Willis will be exiting with a 12-20 lifetime record that he can build on, if he so chooses to return in DFC VII, because he will get an invitation. Any comments or concerns can be addressed to the DFC Administration, where they will be duly noted.

The DFC Power Poll
1. David Mark Osborne, 32-16 (16.0) (2)

*Returning Feature*
If the Playoffs Started Today...
Your weekly glance at where everybody stands for the postseason...
The Fulaytar Conference
DMOsborne would be the North Division champ for a second straight season, and also take the #1 seed into the playoffs, and along with Justin Glenn, seeded 2nd and the MidCentral Champ for the 2nd straight year, get the coveted first round bye.
Jason Duren would win the West, and be seeded 3rd for his first parlay into the DFC Postseason, but he'd be in Wild Card Weekend along with Matt Latta (4th), Tommy McLeod (5th) and Angie Pilgrim (6th)
The McBroom Conference
Jon Osborne would not only get his first postseason berth, he'd do it ranked 1st in the conference and with a South Central Division title. Seeded 2nd and enjoying his 3rd division title in four seasons would be Tim Wasyluka... both Jon and Tim would get the bye.
Mark Gainey would win his fourth straight division crown, but be placed in his first Wild Card Weekend seeded 3rd, along with Scott Latta (4th), Eddy McBroom Jr (5th) and a for the first time, a TBA tiebreaker would be used to break the deadlock between Tad Roose & Lori Smith--and Lori would win the tie for the 6th seed.

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics
--The Road to 300 has been completed for Jennifer a few weeks ago, and Yours Truly this past weekend... with one win, Michael gets to 300, and with 2 wins, DMO is there. Tommy needs 4 victories, and both Tom and Matt are 8 games away from the milestone.
--Though perhaps not as cool as "double 0" marks (100, 200, 300), hitting 250 wins is Drew Morris (251) and Scott Latta (250) and a few away is Jonathan (248)
Lori Smith got her 200th of her career this weekend, while Big Tim Wasyluka is at 193, at least, probably 2 weeks away.

--Next up for 100 is Young Garret Cheney, who has 89 wins in 1 1/2 seasons of his career
--The battle to get into the All Time Top Ten College ranks is still deadlocked, as Drew, Jonathan and Tad all are at 154-99, with Scott at 152-101. With the season that Jon and Scott (and even Tad) are having, compared to the struggles that Eddy (#9, with 158) and Tom (#8, 159) are having, its feasible that one, two or even all three could end up 8th thru 10th in the all time records by the end of the season.
--Looking at Pro Records, Tom still leads the pack at #1, while Yours Truly and Jenn Ernst are now 3 games back in the chase to usurp Big Johnson from his three year reign atop the Pro picks.
--In DFC V, out of 12 weeks, four were won by 6-2 records, four by 7-1 records and an unprecedented four weeks by an 8-0 margin (not including my week of 8-0, which finished second to Michael's 8-0). By comparison, through the halfway point of the season, four weeks have already been won by 6-2 marks, only one by 7-1 and one by 6-2.
--Who holds the record for most weeks won? Jennifer Ernst, with six career weekly wins. Mark Gainey is second with 5, while Michael Nipp and Eddy McBroom each won four (Eddy's fourth was a three way tie between Tad Roose, Jon Osborne and himself)
