BRFL 2019, Inside the Numbers

This is what happened. This is how it went down.

QXX; Goes into Bowl Week with 31 points. Wins the bowl, 28 - 27 over Wisconsin. A bowl win is worth 3 points. (Refer to Living Document). AP poll comes out, she gets 1 for the no drop and moves up 3 spots. 7 point Bowl effort. And then, just to be an asshole, she adds fucking SIX from finishing 5th in GG. 13 points added to her 31 makes her the winner by a ridiculous margin with 44. Lawd have mercy!!

 McLovin; Clemson 29, TOSU 23, that's a semifinal win, worth 7 points. Came up short on the Natty. Still. Move up one in the final AP. Gets the no drop. It's a total nine point bowl season. Had +17 going into the bowls, got closed out of GG for sucking, that's zero. Final is 26, good enough for second place. 

Chicka. Chicka. 

Yeah. 

KMan; The Liberace comes home to Firebase Omega. Florida 36, Virginia 28. 3 points for the bowl win. Nails the no drop. No love from the AP. 4 point bowl season. Had +19. Snags another 2 from his GG finish. Add 'em up and it's 25, third place and the old piano pounder is headed to P Street.

Timmy! International Man of Mystery backed ND this year. Notre Dame schools Iowa State 33 - 9 that's 3 for the bowl win, 1 for the no drop and of course, 'cause it's Notre Dame, the AP moves the douchebags up 2. 6 point bowl season. Had +15. Bungled GG so, like, naught. Total is 21 on the season. Good enough to tie for 4th with...

Jimbosuke! Looks like Utah pretty much checked out after that ass-whipping from Oregon. BTW, I hate you, QXX. Texas 38, Utah 10. Are you fucking shitting me?! AP drops the Utes 4 spots. Minus 4 was  my bowl week. Had +24. Tied for 10th in GG, so got 1 point. 21 the final tally. I'm disappointed as shit. Fuck off.

SeannieG; LSU truck drags Oklahoma 63 - 28 in the semifinals. Embarrassing much? AP flushes you minus three down the Poll. Had +20 going into bowl week. Got one for tying for 10th place in GG (seriously, how do you live with yourself?) and it's 18 on the season total.
Point of order: SeannieG will henceforth be "Dog, the Bounty Hunter", "DogTBH" or just "Dog". SeannieG is just too close to, well, SeannieG. Identities must be protected.

CCS; Bama 35, Meechy 16. Thank you for that. Otherwise, Tide still a team I love to hate. 3 for the bowl win, 1 for the no drop, AP moves the boys from Tuscaloosa up one and CCS hauls in 5 on bowl week. Had +10. Makes a killing in GG with 7 for 4th place. Total on the  season is 17. Not too shabby.

Ronde'; The Gambler. Florida 36, Virginia 28. Zero, zero, zero on the bowl week. Had +12. Grabbed a nice 4 from his GG finish. Cashes out with +16. Again let it be noted that Ronde' was only one of two BRFLers to pick an unranked team, as immortalized in his emotionally wrenching haiku:

                                         "You all pick ranked teams
                                           Pussies are you with no balls
                                           Virginia to win"

BroFro; Army not eligible for a bowl game. Yes, the Bro's season sucked that  much. Had +5. But wait...GG perseverance pays off. The GG Champion bags +10 to finish with +15 which is way the hell better than I would have thought a doofus who picked Army would finish. It should be noted that Army was unranked and, by choosing the Black Knights, BroFro also distinguished himself as a "True Gambler". Congratulations. I guess.

Kitten; UCF 48, Marshall 25 in an ass whipping. 3 points for the bowl win. Wait...WHAT?! DIDDLE! DIDDLE!DIDDLE! 5 more for landing in the final AP at #25 (tied with Texas). That adds up to an 8 point bowl week. Had minus 1. Insanely picks up 8 for a third place finish in GG. Thus this bastard finishes with +15. Coin flip coming with BroFro come draft time.

DPo; A bold pick but a pretty horrible sesason. Let me disclose that these clueless turds were on my short list. Air Force 31, Washington State 21. Coach Leach bails (officially, this time). Bungled bowl game means a zero across the board on bowl week. Had +2 going into it. But wait. There's more! DPo chased BroFro hard all GG season. Thus he bags 9 from GG and his total is a much more respectable +11 on the season.

"Talk not of blasphemy to me, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me."

Snottie; Meechy 16, Alabama 35. Bitterly, bitterly disappointed, to quote our boy Jimmy. Dropped only 1 by the AP after this dog walking by the Tide. Had +5 going into bowl week. Picked up three from your GG toil. Total +7 on the season. Call me Ishmael.

Obama; Utah 10, Texas Longhorns 38. DIDDLE! DIDDLE! DIDDLE! 3 for the bowl win over the Utes, break into the AP at #25 so that's 5 more from the Diddle, strong bowl season with +8. Picked up 5 more for the power finish in GG. Had minus 8 going into bowl week, final tally turns out to be +5. Major redemption.

SkHank; Redemption? Not so much. SKankford was not bowl eligible. The SkHank entered bowl season with 0. He exited bowl season with 0. He picked up 0 from GG. His season ending total was Zero. I don't know what else to say.

SockPuppet. Nebraska. Also not bowl eligible. Zeroes down the line in the bowl season. GG delivers a zero. What the hell happened there? "Billy" losing his mojo or what? You started bowl week at minus 6. You end the season at minus 6.

And that's pretty much the way things went.

Next: talkin' CA$H.

GG, National Championship Round and Wrap up.

First, GG.

Here is where those hours obsessing over obscure games during the regular season come home to roost.

Clemson 25, LSU 42.

Remember, those GGers who had picked the semifinal games correctly were playing for 5 points. Everyone else was playing for 1.

BroFro, 5 points and he takes the GG cheese with an monstrous 82 points. The Bro now receives 10 points added to his BRFL final score. Plus the pride that goes with a GG Championship.
DPo; 5 points. Ends with 75. More importantly the Po picks up 9 points to be added to his BRFL total and, as we know, DPo has been sort of a BRFL bottom feeder for most of the season.
Kitten; 5 for the win, end the season with, um, 69. Also a BRFL catfish. Add 8.
CCS; A swing and a miss with Clemson. Zero. Finish GG with 68 points. Still, add 7 to your BRFL score.
QXX; 5 on the Natty. Total 66. The Championess adds 6 to her BRFL pile.
Obama; 5 on the win, finish with 65. Picks up 5 to add to the BRFL effort.
Ronde'; 5 for the win. End GG with 62. Apply 4 to your BRFL score.
Snottie; 1 to end with 59. Adds 3 to the BRFL effort.
KBron; 1 to go to 58 on the GG total. Add 2 to your final BRFL score.
SeannieG; 1 on the win. Gives you 57 on the GG season. Get one more for your BRFL total.
Jimbosuke; 0 but ends GG with 57, tied for 10th with Seannie G. I get one more in the BRFL.

McLovin; Stoogatz. Your BRFL total stays the same.
SockPuppy; Zed.
SkHank; Nada.
Timmy!; Oh, Timmy. Nothing for you.

Next up, the BRFL score round-up.

GG Rose, Cotton, Sugar Bowl Results

Alabama bests Meechy 35 - 16. This game was a lot closer than the score looks. Shea Patterson was off target on deep balls all day. If not for that this one could have gone the other way. Late touchdown by Harris makes it look lopsided. Wasn't.
Oregon edges Wisconsin 28 - 27 in an instant classic Rose Bowl.
Georgia bullies Baylor 26 - 14.

BroFro; 2 to go to 77.
Dpo; 2 to make 70. It appears Bro is untouchable.
CCS; SWEEP! Nice pull and another power  move. 5 to go to 68.
Kitten; SWEEP! Holy shit, what's gotten into you lately? 5 to go to 64.
QXX; 1 to go to 61.
Obama; 2 to go to 60.
Snottie; 2 to go to 58.
KBron; 2 to go to 57.
'BoSuke; 1 to go to 57. Shit.
Ronde'; SWEEP! Whoa, ho, ho, 5 to go to 57.
SeannieG; 2 to go to 54.
McLovin; 2 to go to 54.
SockPuppet; 2 to go to 51.
SkHank; 2 to go to 51.
Timmy!; Train hopping across Siberia. No cell coverage. 36.

One left.
Clemson vs. LSU on Jan 13.
These GGers picked the semi final games correctly and could pick up a "sweep" (5) if they pick this championship game right. If you pick it wrong, you get zero for this round:

BroFro,
DPo,
CCS,
Q,
Kitten,
Obama,
Ronde'

The rest of us are picking for 1 point. Including Timmy!.

Roll the bones.
