PFL - WEEK 7

WEEK 6 RECAP

Hard to believe, but the 2012 fantasy regular season is already halfway over (playoffs start week 14).  Above I have posted what the playoff bracket would look like if they started today. These spots are not locked in by any means.  We still have a long way to go and, fantasy football success can change in the blink of an eye.

POWER RANKINGS

1) Team Washburn – 1,085

2) The Griz – 1,018

3) Show Me Your TD’s – 1,008

4) California Defenders - 962

5) A Cinderella Story - 939

6) The Swanson Meat Tornado - 892

7) Team Boutsis - 860

8) One Goal 2012 - 853

Only movers were Team Washburn moving to 1^st, and One Goal 2012 moving from 6^th to 8^th.

LEAGUE BUSINESS

Since there were 3 opposed to me tweaking the league settings (with regards to playoff seeding) no changes will be made for the 2012-2013 season.    Looks like a toss-up as to who will get the number 2 seed, as all those in the Costanza division are close in the standings and power rankings. Next year, however, I will change the settings so that the teams with the best two records will get the 1^st and 2^nd seeds in the playoffs (regardless of division).

TRADE

After close examination, I have decided the trade between the California Defenders and Show Me Your TD’s to be fair, and was upheld.

THE DETMER AWARD

Team Washburn has been on a roll!  Not only did they take over first place in the standings and power rankings, but they were the first team to win the Detmer Award twice this year.  When asked for comment, Kimball replied:

"It looks like lightning does strike twice after all . . . My success can be attributed to 2 factors: 1) You have to follow your heart when it comes to setting your lineup, and 2) It doesn’t hurt when your QB’s can score 100 points by themselves."

Kimball has managed to thrive even though he is in the tougher Kramer Division, and has had the toughest schedule (1,025 points scored against).

GAME OF THE WEEK

Lot of interesting games this week, but the game of the week for week 7 is Team Washburn vs One Goal 2012.  It is projected, by ESPN analysts, to be the closest game this week.  Team Washburn has got the momentum, but One Goal 2012 has got something to prove.  Kimball commented:

"Normally the 1^st place team is able to handle the last place team without much resistance, but One Goal scares us a little this week.  They are playing hungry . . ."

Jeff, of One Goal, stated:

"This week will show what I’m all about . . . a win will propel me into the playoffs . . . and a loss will make me a laughing stock to my fans . . . but more importantly, my family.  “I’m tired of getting paid to lose . . . I vant to vin” (in Jeff’s best Nacho Libre voice).
