Well…um…hmmmm…maybe next year. I’m out on the reset already. Had SD over Carolina. ---

I’ve had a horrible year with the NFL this year. Dead last in Salary cap, bottom third of Pick’em, eliminated in the first week of Survival, eliminated in the first week of the Reset Survival, and missed the playoffs in my fantasy league. Only redeeming point is I won my college Pick’em league. ---

Survival and pick 'em run throughout the playoffs, so keep getting those picks in. If you’re interested in the NFL fantasy playoff challenge, [see here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15858668). ---

From the second round of the survival pool, myself (Chicago Cardinals) and Frosty’s Picks were both perfect. Frosty’s Picks was awarded the title, although I’m not sure what criteria Yahoo used to determine that between 2 perfect 7 week runs after the league was reset. ---

Weird. 21 weeks w/out a gaffe, in Elim, Conf, Spread, etc and I forget to pick a team for the SB (in Elim only!). I think because I was locked in to Balt (and would have picked them anyway) it slipped my mind.
