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.

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.
