The Week That Was (corrected, with Jason Duren's proper stats)
Though I'm afriad we'll never hear the end of it, congrats to Tebe Shaw of the MidCentral Division who, in his second week of his second season not only wins the week (his first), he also lands atop the DFC Power Poll Top 12 (below)

Jason Duren, after getting the email that made me realize I didn't give him credit for one win, finishes 2nd at 7-1. Tied for 3rd, at 6-2, is Gary Eubanks, Eddy McBroom St and Jason Turnbow. David Mark Osborne, Zack Graves and Michael Nipp all tie for 6th at 6-2. In 9th is Gina Williams, in 10th is Trey Cartledge.

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics

• First and foremost, Tad Roose. From DFC I to DFC II, Tommy McLeod went 19 weeks scoring at least a 4-4 record. It was an impressive record, until Mark Gainey came along and shattered it, going 33 weeks from DFC III to DFC V. And now, with a 6-2 record this weekend, two time DFC Champion Tad Roose has now tied that seemingly impossible record. The last time he dipped below .500 was Week 4 in DFC IV, and now 33 weeks later, he's a good weekend away from owning the record.
• To give you perspective, the next longest active streak right now? Mark Gainey is at 13 weeks. After that, Yours Truly, Matt Latta and Eddy McBroom are at 9 weeks.
• With his stellar two opening weeks, Matt Latta has now caught up to David Mark, and passed Tommy McLeod to be in a tie with DMO for 3rd on the all time list. And as a defending champion, he's doing better than anyone ever has in their defense season.
• DFC Legend Wookiee Fulaytar, two time champion, has fallen another spot on the all time list. Lori Smith registered her 241st victory this weekend, passing Wookiee for 18th.
• There are 11 former DFC'ers to spend a season or less in the league, and to pass all of them on the all time list you need to notch 56 wins, passing Vic Paschal, to enter the stats of active players. From last season, Gina Williams and Tebe Shaw passed it last week, while Json Barnette and Ryan Sherman passed 56 all time wins this weekend. James Hawbaker is next, at 47, though admittedly, he didn't have a full season last year.
• Matt Latta got his 200th college win this week. Next up, Michael (198), David Mark Osborne (195) and Tommy Mcleod (193).
• I advertised it a little last year, but had my numbers wrong... this time, though, I did the math. Somewhere around Week 7 of this season, the DFC will log in its 15,000th football pick. Not kidding.
• Along those lines, Week 4 will bring us our 600th DFC Game. We've been doing this a long time.
• Finally, out of 34 active players in the DFC, 15 of them have never seen the playoffs. Of course, five of the 15 are in their first season, and five of the remaining 10 are in their second year. Out of the final five, longest drought is Jon Osborne at five full seasons, followed by Jason Demastus and Sarah Hasha with four seasons, and Tyler Campbell and Garrett Cheney are in their third seasons now.
