Yep, there’s a winner’s bracket and a loser’s bracket. The only ones not playing are the bottom two teams.
Sweet, I have a reason to continue living for at least one more week, though I’m not sure I would want to be considered the best of the losers.
Woo! I’m going to the Oak Bowl!
I got a little lucky with this one. I think anyone in other league going up against Calvin Johnson wouldn’t have had a chance. DragonAsh was a formidable opponent. I was worried with his late season surge. But I pulled it off, mainly with the help of C.J. Spiller and Aaron Hernandez of all people.
And barring a major collapse, it looks I’ll be up against Cliff’s Clavins for the finale. Which is really the one team I’ve been hoping to avoid facing again. I think it’ll be one epic finale.
Also, I decided to go with a big risk move and play Nate Washington instead of Steve Smith. They both ended up scoring exactly 19.20 points.
Looks like we’re heading to a suitably epic finish. I’ve got 34 points and Frank Gore against the Steeler D tomorrow night for a trip to the…um…Sapling Bowl.
Was a good match but ultimately Helu, Daniels and Cruz were crushed by McCoy, Spiller and Hernandez. I was banking on Megatron (came through big-time) and Colston…how the heck does Colston end up with less than 100 yards and no touchdowns in a game where Brees threw five touchdown passes and over 400 yards???
If you ask me Clavins deserves to lose just for playing Greene over Mathews. That’s insane.
If Big Ben doesn’t play tonight Wallace and Brown might struggle to get to 3 points, actually. Flip side, if Pittsburgh goes reasonably nuts and Mende gets the touchdowns, maybe San Francisco ends up with negative defense points?
I need Brown to get at least 18 yards to make it to the finals of another league with..er, jelly beans at stake…
Great year, really enjoyed it - look forward to playing next year!
As a Steeler fan, I am not proud of what I have done

Damn.
Guess this means I’ll have to return next year to go for the title again. Though for a guy who knew almost nothing about Fantasy Football at the start of the year, Division Champion and League Runner-up ain’t too bad.
Still disappointed with my team though. I was expecting a combined score over 400, instead I got 4 points from Steve Smith, and 5 points form LeSean McCoy. I did make a mistake putting in the Bears D instead of Cinci, although I don’t think it would’ve gotten me the win. I tried to play it safe in case they pulled Rodgers early, which wnet against my “all or nothing” strategy that got me to the end.
