Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics

• Though it didn't seem like that big of a week for some, looking back, it ranks as one of the most successful week in DFC history. Out of 39 people, only one had a losing record (Jason Duren, 3-5), and three had a 4-4 record (Joey Thornell, JustFish, Mikey Nipp), and everyone else? 5-3, 6-2, 7-1, and yes, 8-0
• For The Big Wasyluka, it was a huge week. He got his first undefeated week, and vaulted from 12th to 3rd in the DFC Power Poll, only behind Trey Cartledge and Yours Truly via TBA
• For Trey, the success continues. Starting slowly last year (3 of the first 5 weeks were losing efforts), he finished huge, got to the Final Four, and considering this week's 7-1 record, in the last three regular season weeks, he's 20-4. And if you think I'm trying to jinx him by saying this, well... you're right.
• I have to feel for poor Tyler Campbell, however. Now in his fifth season, he's never posted above a 55 win season, never been to the playoffs, and typically is out of contention by Week 7 or 8. His roommates include Trey, who we discussed above, in his 3rd season, and two DFC rookies, Bradley Pinkerton, who just popped into The DFC Power Poll at #8 (Tyler has spent a total of 4 weeks in the DFC Power Poll, the last being Week 5 of DFC VII) and Jonathan Lenning, who is at 6-10, but that includes an 0-8 non-respondant week. Could the DFC Veteran of the apartment be the low guy on the DFC pole already?
• Daniel Powell deserves props this week two. Last week he was off on the TB by 1. This week, he was off by 1. Add those two together, divide by 2, and you have his TBA.. 1.0. I don't have the stats on such week to week TBAs, but thats mucho impressive.
• All time wins & losses... Eddy Jr and Jonathan Osborne become the next two to join the 400 club.
• Michael Nipp breaks another record, of infamy. With his latest 4-4 record, he now officially has the most losses in DFC history, with 343. He now the only DFC'er with at least 300 wins to have less than 100 between his wins and losses, at 433-343.
• Don't laugh, Big Tom Johnson. You're second on that list with 338 losses, and exactly 100 separate your record, at 438-338.
• Over in the College Catagory, division title holder James Hawbaker got to the 100 college wins mark. Sarah Hasha is 2 away from 200, while 300 is still a bit away. Jennifer looks like she'll get there first, while Yours Truly and Matt Latta are trailing behind.
