so, ABC is choosing to show Texas against Nebraska, a game that, while it might be good, is overwhelmingly predicted to have Texas romp in the Big XVII Title game... and the SEC Championship Game, a game featuring two teams with 24 wins between them, a game that there is no consensus on who might win this game, a game featuring a former Heisman winner (SuperTim) against a Heisman hopeful (Ingram) is relegated to a middle-of-the-afternoon, non-primetime game?  Really?  Just sayin'.

The Week That Was
Capping off a that was almost a disaster, Chris Croyle chalks up 7 wins in the final week of the season to get his first career win, and get his second straight 50+ win season.  Coming in second, and narrowly missing the playoffs is Tom Johnson, also getting a 7-1 record, while Zack Graves returns to the DFC after missing a few weeks nursing a groin injury (his own, we hope) to finish in a tie for 3rd with Jonny Osborne, both at 6-2.  Drew Morris is gaining momentum heading into the postseason, finishing 5th at 6-2.

In 6th place, Lt Dan finishes his season at 6-2, while in 7th is Young Garrett Cheney at 5-3.  In 8th place, rookie Stevie Ray and Trey Cartledge tie up for 8th and rounding out the top ten is Jason Turnbow, at 5-3.

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS

• The Mighty Gainey has one more week to do something that no one has ever done--get a weekly win in four straight seasons.  He won Week 4 in both DFC VII and VIII and then Week 11 in IX.  Currently, he's part of a very small group that has done it three seasons in a row--Lori Then-Smith-Now-Beirne (DFC III-V)... Matt Latta (DFC VI-VIII)... Mikey Nipp (DFC I-III)... Tom Johnson (DFC IV-VI)... and actually, Gainey did it once before, in DFC III, DFC IV and V.
• There is also one more week for an undefeated week to happen.  Since DFC I, we've had at least one 8-0 week per season, and in the case of DFC VIII, we had 5 happen.  However, its been since Ryan Sherman did it in DFC IX, Week 9 since someone has chalked up 8 wins in a single week... that's 14 weeks.
• The current longest drought between undefeated weeks was 15 weeks. 
• It was a miserable week for Yours Truly--a 3-5 meltdown stopped the 5-3+ weekly record at 15 weeks, 2 shy of tying Matt Latta's 17 week record. 
• The next longest current streak now?  No joke.  Sarah Hasha at 5 weeks.
• Gina Roose continues her 4-4+ streak, now at 18 weeks.  She's 2 weeks away from hallowed ground... only 5 DFC'ers have ever gone 20 or more weeks with at least a 4-4 record.
• The defending DFC Champion, The Mighty Gainey, is set to clinch his 8th straight postseason appearance, not only the longest consecutive streak, but also the most playoff berths ever.  Drew Morris, former champion, would get his 7th appearance if he can get in this year, while Yours Truly and Big Eddy both had 4 season consecutive berth streaks, in 2nd place.

DFC X Week Twelve Games

Just a note... think carefully about your picks.  Once they are submitted, THEY CANNOT BE CHANGED.  

There is a Thursday NFL Game... you can send in your pick for this early, then send the rest in by Saturday morning.  But when the first game kicks off on Saturday morning, all picks are locked.  Any picks submitted after Saturday, 11a (which is when the first game starts) will be disregarded.

As picks are submitted, playoff spots and divisional races will be decided, and when playoff spots and division titles are confirmed, I'll try to announce them on this site...

DFC X Week Ten Results

The Week That Was
I wasn't sure if he'd ever taken a week or not (talking to Matta Latta earlier tonight, I told him I couldn't remember).  Look in my big stat sheets and found out that DMOsborne has won twice previously... but not since Week 1 of DFC V, over five years ago.  As it is, a 7-1 record this weekend gives The DMO another win.

DMOsborne won via tiebreak, edging out Chris Croyle, with his best showing of the season, finishing 2nd.  Tied for third is former DFC champ Matt Latta, and three time former champ Tad Roose, both at 6-2, and in 5th is rookie Lt. Dan Sellers.  In 6th is Young Garrett Cheney at 6-2.

In 7th place is former DFC Champ Drew Morris at 5-3, in 8th is Gina "Wife of Tad 'The Dynasty' Roose" Roose, and tied for 9th is Yours Truly and Tom Johnson, both at 5-3.

Also finishing:

DFC X Week Ten Games

COLLEGE GAMES
(9) LSU Tigers (7-1) at (3) Alabama Crimson Tide (8-0), 230p, CBS
The Gators finally had their "big game" coming out party last week, albeit against a defenseless Georgia team, and its time for Bama to do the same. Even being jumped by Texas in the AP Poll and the standings, as long as Bama can get to the SEC title game, they've got a shot at the whole shebang, but this is the biggest test of the year. LSU got good all of a sudden.

Florida State Seminoles (4-4) at Clemson Tigers (5-3), Time TBA
Hard to tell in this game. Depends on which FSU team shows up. FSU's defense stinks, Clemson's is mediocre at best. Where's the game, Clemson? Eh, FSU in a shootout. -- Sez 2 time DFC Champ & Hall of Famer Wookiee Fulaytar. Its also worth noting this game will help shape the outcome of the Atlan... er, the Coas... er, the Coaslantic Divi... uh... no one knows who is in what division in the ACC.

(17) Ohio State Buckeyes (7-2) at (12) Penn State Nittany Lions (8-1), 230p, ABC
The Big Ten has lost a lot of its luster in recent years, mainly due to the inability of Ohio State to win the big games. It's easy to forget that even with 2 losses, OSU still controls their own destiny and can return to the Rose Bowl if they find a way to win out. Penn State's defense has been very stingy this season at Happy Valley, giving up an average of only 7 points per game at home. The real question will be can Terelle Pryor step up and lead the "Buckeyes" in their latest "big game" or will the Nittany Lions stifle the potential phenom? -- Sez James Hawbaker, a member of the Big Ten/Iowa faithful

Oregon State Beavers (5-3) at (24) California Bears (6-2), 6p
Personally, I think this will be the "toss up" of the weekend, and don't let that #24 in front of Call fool you. Only one game separates these two teams, and OSU is not that bad, while Cal is really not that good. Pick 'em!

NFL GAMES
Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (5-2), 12p, CBS
I would have totally gone Cincy on this one, but the Ravens dismantled the Broncos on Sunday, and truly--they looked really good. And how much stock can you put into the Bengals? However, lest we forget Cincy is one freak Bronco foot bounce away from being 6-1.

Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) at Jacksonville Jaggywires (3-4), 12p, CBS
And, I would have totally gone Jax this week... except they lost to the 0-344 Titans. Badly. Really badly. But the Chefs... well, they suck.

Dallas Cowboys (5-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-2), 720p, NBC
I see the Boys as down, the Eagles as climbing, and somehow, McNabb is not only healthy, but actually playing well. Go figure.

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) at Denver Broncos (6-1), Monday Night, 730p, ESPN
Sadly, all I can think of is, the shine is coming off the Broncos now. Especially after getting slaughtered by the Ravens.

TIEBREAK GAME
LSU/ALABAMA... two of the best defenses in the country. Total points scored.
