DFC XI Week Nine Results

(14) Nebraska 31, (7) Missouri 14
Florida 34, Georgia 31 OT
Oregon State 35, California 7
Penn State 41, Michigan 31 (tiebreak game, 72 points)
San Francisco 49ers 24, Denver Broncos 16
Tampa Bay Bucs 38, Arizona Cardinals 35
New Orleans Saints 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 10
Indianapolis Colts 30, Houston Texans 17

 
I learned a lesson some eight years ago... when it seemed that the Cleveland Browns were winning the game, with just a few seconds to go, I went through and added that extra win to everyone who picked Cleveland.  Then, in the last play of the game, one of the Browns players tosses his helmet.  The subsequent penalty then causes Cleveland to lose the game, and then causes me to go back to my DFC sheet, and have to remove a win and add a loss to half the league, then remove a loss and add a win to the other half, and it was an hour that I could've saved.  Which taught me, make sure I'm sure before I add and announce...

 
THE WEEK THAT WAS
So last night, I blurted on The DFC BLogspot that Dan Sellers has won his second career week, and that I'd have the results today.  And looking today... Matt Halpert has won the week.  Not only has he won the week... its the FIRST week he's ever won.  I was expecting to say "third" or maybe "second" but the DFC VIII Rookie of the Year takes his first Weekly Crown.  Good job.

 
And Lt. Dan comes in 2nd, both at 6-2.  Here comes Matt Latta in third, Scott Latta in fourth and in fifth, here's Sarah Hasha, all at 6-2.   Eddy Jr gets sixth at 6-2, in seventh is Hurrican Rhett, eighth is The Mighty Gainey, in ninth is The Big Wasyluka and rounding out the Weekly Top Ten is Young Garrett, all at 5-3.

LIES, DARN LIES AND STATISICS
  • So, this has been a tough season for DFC Perennial Successes... Mark Gainey is possibly going to miss his first postseason ever, defending DFC Champion Lori Beirne is looking like she might be the fifth defending champion in ten full seasons of the DFC to miss the postseason following a title.
  • That sounds crazy, but it gets even worse when you realize that in two of those seasons, when Wookiee Fulaytar won his titles (DFC III and DFC V), he didn't particpate the follow season.  So only three times has a defending champion made the postseason the next year--Matt Latta won DFC VI, back to the Deuce Bowl the next year, beaten by Tad Roose, who following his title in DFC VII, got knocked out of Wild Card Weekend in the next season.  Mark Gainey won DFC IX, and got to all the way to the Final Four last season before losing to Lori... who might miss the postseason.
  • Wanted to also focus in on something else... worst seasons.  With three weeks left, thats 24 games to make or break whatever records one might be looking at, not to mention to shore up Rookie of the Year (its Randy Latta's for the losing) or to lock up another MVP title (looks like I might get a third straight--eat that, Gainey)
  • Drew Morris' worst season ever, DFC III, a 50-46 effort.  He's at 33-39 right now.  Do the math, and thats a 17-7 record needed to just equal that 50 win season... Gainey's worst record ever is his 58-38 record last season.  He's at 38-34, putting him at needing a 20-4 record to equal that own mark.
  • Scott Latta is not faring much better.  The much hyped preseason #1 is sitting at 37-35, though he only needs 13 more wins to equal his career worst 49-47 record in DFC VII
  • Jennifer Ernst has seen her star fall too... her worst career record ever was in DFC VI, going 50-46.  Right now at 36-36, she'll need another 14 wins to match, 15 to surpass.  And none of these DFC'ers are projected to make the postseason.
  • Daniel Powell has also had some rough seasons... in DFC I, he was 32-24, but did come into the season late, missed a few weeks, and we also had a 11 week regular season, as opposed to the 12 we have now.  His worst after that comes in DFC IV, at 47-49, but right now at 32-40, he does have some making up to do.
  • More upbeat LDL&S next week, when I'm not so frakkin' tired!
