Other notes:
- Congrats to Justin Dearing... not only did he take home the Rookie of the Year Trophy last week, he also captures the TBA Trophy, for having the lowest overall TBA this season.
- Of course, Justin's 12.0 overall was the 2nd highest ever, only beaten by John Wolf's 12.5 in DFC XII.
- For comparison, Tim Wasyluka has the best Season TBA in history, scoring at 5.0 in DFC XV.
- Matt Halpert is seeking to become the first back-to-back DFC Champion in league history, and is trying to be only the 4th DFC'er to make it back-to-back DeuceBowls (Drew Morris in II & III; Matt Latta in VI & VII; Mark Gainey in VIII & IX)
- Mark Gainey's big two weeks in the postseason has put him within striking distance of the all time playoff record. Big Eddy owns the most playoff wins with 139 (including his 6 wins from this past weekend), while Drew Morris is at 136. Gainey has 127, and with a big week in the Final Four, plus a good showing in DeuceBowl XVIII, he can get to 140 postseason wins, the most all time.
- This is also the first time in DFC History where 3 of the 4 participants have won DFC Titles before -- Gainey in DFC IX... Steven Ray in DFC XV... and Matt Halpert last season in DFC XVII
- And joining the seasoned veterans in the Final Four? Young Mitchell Pinkerton, in his first playoff run, first divisional title and possible MVP award.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
With upsets and a DFC record 114 points scored in the tiebreak game, everything was upended, divisions were won and lost at the last moment, and for the first time, the 9th best record in the conference will be the 8th seed in the playoffs... we'll get to that.
If you can believe that a guy who has won 4 straight division titles over his now 9 full seasons has never actually won a week, then believe it. But finally, with an undefeated mark, Brad "The Lawdawg" Latta can hold up a weekly victory trophy as his gets his first weekly win of his career. (I totally had to double check this info with the DFC Archives, because I didn't believe it either.
And even with a down year, Chris Croyle ends the season with a bang, going 7-1 for 2nd place, while Steven "Mister" Ray wins the division, probably the MVP and 3rd place for the week. Tied for 4th this week are Trey "The Answer" Cartledge, Tyler "The Sexy Beast of the DFC (self appointed)" Campbell and Matty Pinky, while Lori "Sunshine" Beirne takes 7th place.
DMOsborne ends the year in 8th place, and Big Tom Johnson watched an undefeated week fall along with his Miami pick, but enough for 9th, and finally, Brad "The Bald One" Ashby takes 10th, all with 7-1 records.
Also Finishing:
6-2: Big Eddy Mac... Little Eddy Mac... Matt "The Mad Scientist" Halpert... Drew // Morris... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey... Bradley Pinky... Grandy Latta... Hurricane Rhett... Drew "The Grassman" Warren... Yours Truly... Rick TOOLIE... Jenny Ernst... Mitchell Pinky...
5-3: Atlanta Bill Seybolt... Marky Mark "The Funky Bunch" Wahlwarner... Remodeling Clay Shaver... Big Tim Wasyluka... Jacob Pinky... Zack "The Attack" Graves... Casey "The Realtor" Lewis... Michael "The Wheel" Ferris... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Danny Powell
4-4: James "The Not Playoff Maker" Hawbaker... Young Garrett.... Justin "The Rookie" Dearing... Jonny Oz... Mikey Nipp... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers... Sarah "Sashay" Hasha...

THE DFC RULE THAT WE NEVER THOUGHT WOULD COME INTO PLAY
What happens if a Division Winner has a worse record than someone in another division who didn't win their division. This almost happened a few years back, and there was no official rule in place of the unlikely event that it DID happen.
So what happens when Eddy McBroom Jr wins the South Division with a record of 59-37, but is only 9th in the conference, while Justin Dearing gets a 60-36, good enough for 8th in the conference? Well... here is the official rule:
If someone wins Division A, but another in Division B has a better record (but didn't win their divisional title), the Division A winner will still get the nod.
So like it or not, Justin Dearing, despite winning Rookie of the Year, sits out this postseason, while Eddy McBroom sneaks into the 8th position.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
It's only been done one other time, and Lori "Sunshine" Beirne did it in Week 9 of DFC XVI in 2015... so two years ago. That milestone? Going 10-0. The 2nd time it was done was this weekend, by Justin "The Rookie" Dearing, who all but wrapped up the Rookie of the Year honors this year. Oh, and he won the week.
Coming in at 2nd for the week, Tyler "The Self Appointed Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell (I'm not making that up, by the way -- he did appoint himself that years ago), and Tad "The Dynasty" Roose gets 3rd, both at 9-1.
At 8-2, Brad "Lawdawg" Latta in 4th, Steven "Mister" Ray in 5th, Yours Truly in 6th, and Jenni Ernst in 7th. Big Eddy Mac gets 8th, Matt "The Mad Scientist" Halpert in 9th and gRandy Latta takes 10th, at 7-3.

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS
- Congrats to Mitchell Pinkerton, who is possibly headed towards the MVP title and unless he has a collapse of historic proportions, his first playoff spot. He's sitting at 56 wins, and with 18 games left, needs only 4 more wins to surpass his best season ever and get to 60 wins for the first time.
- Sixty wins is a huge achievement, as its not something most do frequently. Mark "The Dynasty" Gainey has the most 60+ win seasons with 10, while Jennifer Ernst & Big Eddy both have 7, and Yours Truly, Lori "Sunshine" Beirne and Tad "The Dynasty" Roose have 6 each.
- Also for Mitchell, he and Remodeling Clay Shaver are in a battle for the College Title, with Mitch having 34 wins, and Clay with 32.
- Steven Ray and Big Eddy Mac are with 25 and 24 respectively in the NFL record race
- Meanwhile, Jonathan Osborne has a 8.29 TBA, while Tyler has 8.43, and James Hawbaker and Justin Dearing both have 8.86 in the TieBreak Average Title race
- With an 8 game lead over Casey Lewis, it looks like Justin Dearing may have the Rookie of the Year honors wrapped up, and is on the edge of becoming the first rookie to make the postseason in that rookie year since Michael Ferris did it two years ago in DFC XVI

THE WEEK THAT WAS
This deep into the season, Mitchell Pinkerton really has laid down the first true evidence that he's the season frontrunner for the MVP Award this year. Winning his second week, young Mitch is the only record at 8-2 this week, and takes over the #1 spot in the league from Big Eddy, as well as now moving into an 8 game lead in the North Division. Lots of games to go, and a lead can be lost (ask Young Garrett who, in DFC V, won 65 games, and needed only to go 2-6 in Week 12 of that year... to turn around and go 1-7, lose a playoff berth to Wookiee Fulaytar, who went on to win the DFC title as the 8th seed. Ah, DFC History)
Yours Truly comes up short again, in 2nd place with 7-3, while Hurricane Rhett Barnett gets 3rd, alsl in 7-3, and Jon Osborne gets 7-3 for 4th place. A three way tie between two Lattas and a Wasyluka for 5th, while "The Bald One" Brad Ashby is moving towards the best season of his career, getting 8th place.
In 9th, Popman Brett Smith at 6-4, while Justin "The Blend" Glenn and The One who Appointed Himself the "Sexy Beast of the DFC", Tyler Campbel, tie for 10th at 6-4.
