BRFL 2017: The Final Tally



BRFL End of Season Results:

First to address a question that has come up before; no-drop points after the end of the conference championships. Simply stated, no-drop points don't get awarded unless a NEW AP Poll comes out. Think about why this is. You have dozens of bowl games happening over weeks. You have play off games. And, yes, wins in those games have an effect on the dropping or no-dropping. But how much? Who knows? The AP knows but they ain't sayin' until the last poll. Said Poll which comes out after the National Championship game. So there are no no-drop points awarded after bowl games or after the first round of the playoffs. In fact nothing at all happens after bowl games or the first round, except the lucky BRFLers who win those games bank the points for the wins.

For McLovin this is a crushing blow and a grave disappointment. Sad face. For the rest of us it's why we have been spared The Mikepocalypse; the humiliation of watching the guy who won it last year and picked DEAD LAST in the draft walk away with The Whole Cheese again.

Starting from the bottom:

#15, with unranked Florida, KBronieManWoman hits a serious sophomore slump.
Start with -7, no win, no no-drop, no move up = -7 BRFL

#14, with unranked Meechy, Timmy! The Evil Wolverine Conspiracy drops their bowl game, 19-26 to South Carolina. A promising season ends in disappointment.
Start with -6, no win, no no-drop, no move up = -6 BRFL

#13, unranked Kansas State. Q finishes strong with the bowl win, 35-17 over UCLA. Ends with + 2.
Started at -1, win the bowl that's 3, no no-drop, no move up = 2 total BRFL

#12, 20th ranked Stanford. Chip n' Dale drops the bowl to TCU, 37-39.
Start with 14. No win, no no-drop, AP drops you 5 = 9 BRFL

#11, unranked Utah. Randoogle wins the bowl game, 30-14 over WVU.
Starts at 8, 3 for the win, no no-drop, no move up = 11 BRFL.

#10 16th ranked Washington Huskies. ClemboSlice with another Season of Despair. Fucking Wash U could only beat shitty teams. Sad. Drops the bowl, 28 - 35 to Penn State.
Start with 17, no win, no no-drop,  wrathful AP drops you 4 = 13 BRFL

#9, 12th ranked USC. Bridgshit betrayed by the Curse of Sam Darnold. Drops the bowl to Mighty Ohio State, 7 - 24.
Starts with 19, no win, no-no drop, AP carves you a minus 4 = 15 BRFL.

#8. 24th ranked Virginia Tech. SkHunk gets bent over by the Okie State Cowboys, 21-30 in the bowl.
Starts with 18. No win, no-no drop, AP takes you down two pegs = 16 BRFL total.

#7,  21st ranked USouthFlorida. The Kitten in his debut season goes out with guns blazing. 38-34 over Texas Tech in the bowl.
Starts with 12. 3 for the win, 1 for the no-drop, 2 for the move up = 18 BRFL.

#6, 5th ranked THE Ohio State University. Jimbosuke wins the bowl over USC to close out a powerful end of season run.
Starts with 18. 3 for the win, 1 for the no-drop, naught because I don't move up = 22.

#5, 8th ranked Penn State. Seannie G and the Nittanys drop Wash U 35 - 28 to win their bowl.
Starts with 18. 3 for the win, 1 for the no-drop, moves up 1 place in the Poll = 23 BRFL

#4, Miami, the U. SockPuppet started so strong. Alas. Drops the bowl to Wisco, 24 - 34.
Starts with 27. Naught for the win, naught no-drop, and the AP docs you 2 = 25.
We'll always have The Turn-over Chain.

Here's something that's never happened; a tie for the Liberace.

#3, 22nd ranked Boise State.  BroFro and the Broncos, 38 - 28 they win their bowl over Oregon.
Starts with 19. Adds 3 for the win, 1 for the no-drop, AP moves you up 3 = 26 BRFL.
I'd say The Plan worked, Brohime.

#3, 7th ranked Wisconsin. Snottie's Badgers best Miami 34 - 24 for the bowl win.
Start with 24. 3 for the win, no no-drop because, oddly, the AP drops you 1 in the final poll = 26

I  have no idea how we will resolve this Liberace Cock-block.
And now, what you've all been waiting for:

#2, Number 1 ranked Alabama. McLovin'. Bama cruises through the first round crushing the much reviled gnome-faced, cherubic, troll-man mix Dildo Swinny 24 - 6. Then, a tougher time of it, but still, emerges victorious in the Final with the Hawaiin freshman at the helm finishing off Georgia in OT, 26 -23.
Starts with 16. 7 for the curb-stomp of Clemson, 12 for the win over Georgia, a no-drop and he moves up 3 spots in the final poll, that's 23 in the bowl season alone. Ends with 39.

With that amazing finish I was sure he had enough to put him over the top.
But, no.

#1, 11th ranked Notre Dame. DPo pulls off the win over LSU, 21 -17 in the bowl.
Starts with 33, 3 for the bowl win, 1 for the no-drop and the AP moves the Domers up just enough (3) to put Drewpie into the Winner's Circle with 40 BRFL points.

Congrats to the 'Po. Burn in hell, BungFeather.

More stats and $$ figures forthcoming.

Jimbosuke,
Commissioner for Life.

  1. The Liberace (Final) Solution:
    Requires an amendment to the Living Document…
    If the prior year’s winner of the Liberace finishes dead last in the next season and there is a tie for 3rd in the current season then the coveted bobble head doll remains in the possession of the prior year's 3rd placer.
    Thoughts?
    This will allow The Glitter Man to remain on my daughter's bookshelf next to Lady Diana where he can continue to tickle her keys for another year.

  2. I'd be okay with that. Snottie has cradled the Liberace in his arms a couple times before but BroFro has never had a chance to spoon with the Vegas Piano Pounder before.

  3. I'm fine with BroFro getting some spoon time with The Big Boy (in a candelabra lit room)...
    Snottie?

  4. Congratulations to DPo for the win!

    Interesting solution for the sequined statuette, are we voting on it, or is The Commish pulling the trigger with a decision?

  5. BroFro was, and still is, a big fan of Wladziu, especially the “Liberace by Candlelight” album and his sublime yet expansive rendition of Hello Dolly. I do feel he fits best in his current home however. Just don’t let him cough on the little girl

    1. No one can question your Liberace Fanhood. Wladziu. Nice. Kudos to you.

  6. Is DPo MIA?

    Perhaps just meeting with his financial gurus to determine his best save and spend options for his winnings.
    I REALLY hope I don't "forget" to bring The Commissioner's Cup to the Jambo this Summer, that'd be a shame.
