THE WEEK THAT WAS
From the category of "I hope I don't jinx the poor bloke", but Daniel "3D" Powell hasn't made the postseason since DFC XII, way back in 2011... but he made a big statement today, winning this week, his 7th overall in his career and his 2nd this season, with a 7-1 mark and super close to nailing the TB game. 

Coming in tied for 2nd is Garrison "The Pride of Sandy Springs" Ryfun and Tad 'The Dynasty" Roose, with Zack "The Attack" Graves in 4th, all at 7-1.

Jeni Ernst takes 5th with 6-2, as does the rest of the Top 10... Aussie Nate Johnston gets 6th...

TIE BREAK DROP! Every year after Week Four, the TB Drop comes into place. It will eliminate your worst TB of the year, factoring in the other weeks besides that.  The only way that will come back into play is at the end of the season IF and ONLY IF there are two tied in all standings -- the worst TB drop will be added back in for that week only, to determine playoff spots/seedings

DFC XXIII: Week Four RESULTS

THE WEEK THAT WAS

It's been crazy times for the Pinky family, as the only Pinkerton of the four with a DFC Title, Mitchell, is at the bottom of the standings.  Bradley, former division winner is middling in the middle. And Jacob Pinky, perennial also-ran, is having a career year... though I'm sure I just jinxed him.

All that said... Matthew "Pinky the Eldest" Pinky takes the week, with a stellar 9-1 record, his fourth in his long career.  Coming in 2nd, Aussie Nate Johnston at 8-2, with Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod in 3rd, and the aforementioned Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky in 4th, DMO in 5th, and Drew "Slash" Morris in 6th -- all at 8-2

The rest of the top 10 ended up at 7-3, including Brad "The Bald One" Ashby at 7th, Yours Truly in 8th, and in a three way tie to round out the Top 10, Big Eddy Mc, Lil Eddy Mc, and Tyler "SPSBotDFC" Campbell.

Also Finishing:

7-3: Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers... Garrison "The Pride of Dahlonega" Ryfun... James "The Pick Maker" Hawbaker... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey... Grandy Latta.. Hurricane Rhett... 

6-4: Jonny Oz... Big Tom Johnson... The Big Wasyluka... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... Brad "Lawdawg" Latta... Wook Fu... Drew "Grassman" Warren... Jenni Ernst... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Young Garrett... Roth from Wyoming... Lil Stevie Ray... 

4-6: Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Chris "Yo Teach" Croyle... Daniel "3D" Powell... Mikey "High" Nipp... Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky

LIES, DARN LIES, & STATISTICS
Here comes the random numbers and facts, taken directly from The Massive DFC History Spreadsheet, that are all true... 

• First up, as a reminder, the current top spot in regular season wins totals 1300 wins, and hit that number  this week.  Who is this, you might ask?  Yours Truly.  1,300 wins in the regular season over 23 seasons.  Self brag? Yep. 
• Your top five in this category - Tommy McLeod (1262)... Jeni Ernst (1260)... Drew Morris (1252)... and Big Eddy McB (1245). 
• A few milestones hit in the 3 weeks of this season so far -- David Mark Osborne crossed 1200 wins, and sitting at 1,205, he's one of only 8 to do so (besides the top five I just listed, you have Jon Osborne (1224) and Mark Gainey (1222))
• The next two likely to hit 1200 in the next few weeks are Eddy McBroom Jr (1185) and Tad Roose (1181).  Remember, this is REGULAR season wins -- we'll talk All Time Wins in an upcoming LDL&S section
• Michael Nipp finally hit 1100 this season, and Tyler Campbell looks to be the next to hit 1000 wins for his career, as he's sitting at 982.
• Trey Cartledge got the 900 mark so far (912)... and despite his worst effort, Young Garrett Cheney has stumbled over 900, now at 904... 
• Other milestones of note... Zack Graves is 10 wins away from hitting 900 for his career... 
• There have been 87 people who've played this little game of ours over the last 23 years. If you want to be in the Top 50 all time, a retired Bill "Atlanta" Seybolt sits at 227 wins.  Randy Latta, active, is your #30, with 718 wins regular season.   Brad Latta sits at #25 with 775, and the aforementioned Zack Graves sits at #20 all time.
• Rising through Week 3: Jacob Pinky, 4 games over .500 this far into the season... Drew Morris, the defending DFC Champ not missing a beat and at #1... Daniel Powell, spent this entire season, all 3 weeks, in the top 10 
• Falling through Week 4: Garrison Ryfun, the pride of Kennesaw, follows up a stellar rookie season with a rough start... Tim Wasyluka, the defending South Division Champ has really stumbled out of the gate... Matty Pinky, watching 2 of his brothers dominate him in the ratings

THE WEEK THAT WAS
The NFL is known as the great equalizer, and it truly was this week... truthfully, it was somewhat of a disaster for nearly everyone -- but this is why we play... er, pick... the games...

While Drew "The Grassman" Warren notched his fourth career win (and first since DFC XX Week 2 in 2019), he did it with a wholly unimpressive 6-4... it was the 2nd worst weekly win since Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers stumbled to a weekly win last season with a 5-5 mark... ironically, also Week 2. 

In fact, except for 10th place, the entire top ten was 6-4... beginning with Tommy McLeod in 2nd, Mark "The Mighty" Gainey in 3rd, Brad "Lawdawg" Latta in 4th, Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky in 5th, and then Lil Stevie Ray, James "The Pick Maker" Hawbaker, Jacob Roth (from Wyoming) and Aussie Nate Johnson in 6th through 9th.  

Finishing up the Top 10, at 5-5, is one DMOsborne.

Also finishing:

5-5: Chris "The Wookiee Berserker" Fulaytar... Grandy Latta... Drew // Morris... Jonny Oz... Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers... Hurricane Rhett... Big Tom J... Yours Truly... David "What Tha" Tuck... 

4-6: Mikey "Low" Nipp... Zack "The Attack" Graves... The Big Wasyluka... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky... Tyler "The Self Proclaimed Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell... Eddy Jr... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... Chris "Yo Teach" Croyle... 

3-7:  Jeni Ernst... Garrison "Pride of Noccalula Falls" Ryfun... Danny "3D" Powell... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Big Eddy McB

2-8: Young Garrett... Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky... Brad "The Bald One" Ashby

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Strong start for one Daniel Powell, who does have a habit of starting fast and fading in the stretch, but a 9-1 Week One is solid.  It's Danny "3D" Powell's first weekly win since Wk7 in DFC XV (2014).

James "The Pick Maker" Hawbaker grabs second at 8-2, with Trey "The Answer" Cartledge gets third at 7-3.  Lil Stevie Ray comes in 4th, Tad "The Dynasty" Roose in 5th, getting 6th is Drew // Morris, in 7th is David "What Tha" Tuck, and Big Tom Johnson takes 8th, all at 7-3.

Nailing the TB guess is both Hurricane Rhett and Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers, both finishing at 6-4, enough for 9th and 10th. 

Also finishing
6-4: Yours Truly... Brad "Lawdawg" Latta... Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey... Big Eddy... Bradley "Pinky the Wisest" Pinky... Tyler "SPSBotDFC" Campbell... Wookiee Fulaytar... Aussie Nate... Garrison "Pride of Marietta" Ryfun... Jenni Ernst... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... Brad "The Bald One" Ashby... Drew "Grassman" Warren

4-6: Tim "The Big" Wasyluka... Young Garrett... DMO... Roth from Wyoming...

THE FINAL FOUR THAT WAS

Short and sweet... Defending DFC Champ Steven Ray and DFC VIII Champ Drew Morris dominated.  Rookie Garrison Ryfun fell way short, and newly crowned DFC Hasha MVP winner Tim Wasyluka couldn't get it together one more week...

Both Drew & Steven finished with an 8-2 record, tied exactly on the TB at 14 off (though this will remain tied as it doesn't affect anything headed into DeuceBowl XXII)

Big Wasyluka's season ends in the semi-finals, this in his 8th playoff appearance (but first since DFC XVI), and actually his very first final four appearance in his 19th overall season. He finished the week at 6-4.

Kudos to Garrison Ryfun, for a great rookie season, and his bid to be the first rookie champion since Shawn Sharp in DFC I (there's a name I haven't typed in a DFC Email in a long time). He finished his week at 5-5, but his 11-9 overall playoff run this season moves him from 57th to 44th in the playoff standings -- among current DFC'ers, he's right behind Michael Nipp's 12-12 career playoff record. 

In the 22nd edition of the DFC Championship, we have Drew // Morris (the // being the nod to Slash, who himself holds Drew's guitar skills in high regard), winner of DFC VIII.  He's in his 21st year in the league, 7 time West Division Champion, MVP winner in VIII and XIV, and with his 24-6 run in the postseason this year, before we even get to next weekend, he's now #1 on the all time Playoff Win list, and is now #2 not only on the Regular Season win list (1233-771) but also #2 on the All Time Win List (1409-855)... behind... Yours Truly. Boo ya. A win next weekend would not only give Drew his 2nd championship, he would then hold the record for most seasons between titles (13 seasons, besting Mark "The Mighty" Gainey's 8 years between titles, from IX to XVIII)

Finally, Steven Ray, the humble, quiet principal who keeps showing his football prowess by not only grabbing his 2nd championship last year (the first being in DFC XV), but now has a shot to do two historic things -- be only the 2nd DFC'er to win 3 titles (Tad "The Dynasty" Roose won II, IV, and VII), but the very first to ever go back to back.  Essentially, Steven Ray is on the verge of becoming one of the all time greats. 

Full results and seasonal recap coming after DeuceBowl XXII!  

Yep, we've done this for going on 2 1/2 decades.

DFC XXII Final Four GAMES

Your final four... The new, reigning DFC MVP Tim Wasyluka... the Defending DFC Champ Steven Ray... The Young Rookie and Pride of Ellijay Garrison Ryfun... and the Classic Veteran and former DFC Champ Drew Morris.  

Best two records compete in DeuceBowl XXII... Ties are broken by traditional tiebreak score. Seeds will not break a 2nd tie, as we will go to another tiebreak specific to those DFC'ers within the tie. 

There is a Thursday night game -- so yes, you can submit the Thursday night game and the rest on Friday, but ALL games must be in by Friday kickoff at 430p

And here are the games for the next round... remember that the top four records advance, using the tiebreak game to break any initial tie. Any tie remaining refers to higher seed. These rules are for this week only (DFC Final Four rules cease using seeding as a tiebreak)

All games must be sent at same time, and must be in by Saturday at kickoff.  You can change your picks as needed until Saturday morning, when all games are locked in.

 Tim * Steven * Eddy Jr * Garrison - Congrats, you have the weekend off. See you next weekend.

The following games are for Yours Truly... Tommy... Wookiee... Rhett... Brad A... DMO... Drewski... Matty Pinky...  you are able to change your picks during the week, but ALL picks, both college & NFL must be submitted by kickoff of first game, otherwise you will forfeit that game. I'll make my picks Thursday, submit to a third party so when I go 10-0, it'll be legit.

THE WEEK THAT WAS 
Perhaps it was a little too late, but perhaps the greatest DFC'er of all time (to be fair, Tad "The Dynasty" Roose has 3 titles, as opposed to two, but comparing overall careers may put Gainey in the top spot) had a grand week to finish the season overall. And yet, I had to check three times to confirm, Mark "The Mighty" Gainey has not won a DFC Week in 13 years -- 139 weeks -- since DFC IX in 2008... but congrats to Gainey for his 10th Weekly Win of his career, finishing the season at 8-2.

Coming in 2nd for the week, another legend that will fail to make the postseason, Big Eddy finishing up at 7-3, while Drew // Morris and Grandy Latta tie for 3rd at 7-3.

Brad "Lawdawg" Latta takes 5th, Brad "The Bald One" Ashby and Matt "Pinky the Eldest" Pinky tie for 6th, Garrison "Spawn of Macon" Ryfun and Lil Eddy Jr tie for 8th, and Jonny Oz and Tad "The Dynasty" Roose tie for 10th to round out the Top 10 -- all at 6-4.

PLAYOFF RULES REMINDER

Out of the entire league, the top 12 records will get playoff berths.  All division winners are guaranteed a spot -- if a divisional champion's record is outside of the top 12, the division winner in particular will be the 13th seed. 

Top four seeds in record get a First Round Bye.

The Wild Card Weekend will consist of the remaining 8+ DFC'ers, in the playoff first round. After determining playoff seeds, the seasons TBA will be disregarded and will no longer count. The best FOUR records out of the 8+ will advance to the Divisional Round, the Conference Semi-Finals, joining those Four who had first round byes. 

Then, the best Four records out of those 8 will advance to the DFC Final Four. The best of the two that weekend will then go on to DeuceBowl XXII.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
It's his 9th win lifetime, but his first weekly win since Week 4 of DFC XVI (2015), and Big Tim Wasyluka is a Week 10 decent showing away from not only wrapping up the South Division title, but also the top seed in the playoff, and his first Most Valuable Player title... what a year for Big Tim -- so we'll see how he does in the postseason, as traditionally, he's struggled -- finished 8-2 this week.

Coming in 2nd for the week, also at 8-2, Bradley "Pinky the Wisest" Pinky, with Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky in 3rd at 8-2. Yours Truly gets 4th at 7-3, with Zack "The Attack" Graves in 5th and Mikey "High" Nipp in 6th, at 6-4.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Two DFC'ers ended the week with a 6-2 record, and only 2 off of the tiebreak score... thus, we revert to a new record tiebreak rule installed this season... the rule states that if there are identical records, look at the tiebreak game itself -- if one person picked the winner, they'll get the nod over someone with the same record if that person didn't pick the winner of the game. 

Hence, Eddy Mc Jr is denied his first weekly win since DFC XV in 2014, ending up in 2nd for the week -- and Lil Stevie Ray becomes but the 14th (by my count) DFC'er to win two weeks in a row. Like I warned you people... Steven is suddenly on fire, and will be the one to beat in the playoffs, as the defending DFC Champ.

For the rest of the top ten, also creeping up quickly as we head to the postseason, Brad "The Bald One" Ashby takes 3rd, The Big Wasyluka continues his great year for 4th, And Big Tom Johnson gets 5th, while Jenni Ernst and Wook Fu tie for 6th, all at 6-2.

Mark "The Mighty" Gainey seems to have righted his ship, this week for 8th, at 5-3, also the record of Bradley "Pinky the Wisest" Pinky for 9th, and wrapping up the Top 10, Brad "Lawdawg" Latta.

Also Finishing:
5-3: Tyler "SPSBotDFC" Campbell... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Yours Truly...

4-4: Zack "The Attack" Graves... Drew // Morris... DMO... Tha Croyle... Big Eddy... Grandy Latta... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Garrison "Pride of Villa Rica" Ryfun... Mikey "High" Nipp... Danny P... David "What Tha" Tuck...

3-5: James "Standings Shaker" Hawbaker... Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers... Jonny Os... Matty "Pinky the Eldest" Pinky... Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky... Drew "Grassman" Warren... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Hurricane Rhett... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky...

THE WEEK THAT WAS
It's getting about that time of the season when Steven Ray gets hot... it's happened every year for the last few seasons, He bumbles about in the first part of the year, then as we turn the corner and stride to the postseason, here he comes -- he did just that last season, en route to winning the whole thing, his 2nd DeRamus Plate Championship. 

And here he is, in Week 7, taking his fourth weekly win of his career, this time at 8-2.  Coming in 2nd, at 7-3, Eddy Jr, and in a close 3rd, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge, also 7-3. The Big Wasyluka continues his fabulous season at 6-4, good enough for 4th, while Drew // Morris and DMO tie for 5th place. Drew "Grassman" Warren gets 7th, Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinkerton gets 8th, Big Tom J in 9th, and rounding out the Top Ten, Wookiee Fulaytar.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Leave it to Texas & Oklahoma to have a score so jacked up, that someone who picked 66 for the TB would still be 37 points off... thus is the score that gives a rookie his first weekly win of his career, as Garrison "The Pride of Marietta" Ryfun takes home the crown, edging out #2 Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... both had 9-1 marks for the week. 

A handful of 8-2 records are up next, with Hurricane Rhett in 3rd, Mitchell "Pinky the Youngest" Pinky in 4th, and iun 5th, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge (all three former DFC champs by the way, in XVI, XIX, and XI respectively.
