Week 7

This is looking like the most competitive year we've had. I can see 6 teams winning, I'll let you figure out the 6 for yourself. 

1. Jake - Two wins a row by a wide margin will get you to #1 in the rankings. Getting solid production from all facets, finally.

2. Heydinger - Getting good production from players too, maybe not quarterback. Should be in it until the end but needs a couple of wins. 

3. Seth - Although he's got a good lead at this point, the lack of production from the the receivers may keep this team from winning the league.

4. Luke - Speaking of receivers, Luke needs one desperately. And Northwestern's non-interest in passing the ball isn't doing this team any favors either.

5. Knipp - I can very easily see this team going on a role too. Marqueis is back, Ball is himself again, and Abdullah is getting more involved every game. 

6. Schumann - Will you drop Roundtree already? He's dogshit. Also, needs a running back now.

7. Farber - It's rough with your two best players on bye, but Purdue's offense is getting worse too.

8. Haines - Until the quarterback play picks up, get comfortable in this position.

Blast from the Past:

Seth on casting his total points for the league vote, 11/22/11

Gentlemen of The League, what we decide today may never be used in our lifetimes, but future players of the league may be forever impacted by our resolution.  Monetary involvement may go from fifty dollars to life fortunes.  We need to establish guidelines that can withstand the test of time.  In the course of a thirteen week season, if a dominant winner does not emerge, what is the fairest way to decide a clear champion?  Many individuals would point out that total points from the season should be the tie breaker.  These individuals would argue that clearly, that person has the "better" team and should win outright. We also established earlier this season that we were committing to keeping a weekly competitive environment of winning to decide our champion.  We did this to model after a real season of football itself, which means a great deal to many of us.  Would this assertion be redundant if the person awarded the tie breaker was the same person who won the most weeks?  Or would it rather be consistent with the numerical values we have sought to keep amidst the temptations of a new scoring system.  It is the opinion of this member that he or she (for future members or leagues yet to be established) who wins the most should, in return, win the league to break the tie.  Where is the justice in a winner who did not win the most? A.
