Season Seventeen Begins

 And we're underway with Season 17!

Here's the line-up:

1. KBronieBoy, Memphis Tigers, unranked, + seven

2. CCS, SMU Ponies, unranked, + seven

3. BreauxFreaux, Boise State Broncos, unranked, + seven

4. DPo, Liberty Jesus Freaks, unranked, + seven

5. Ronde', Virginia Tech Hokies, unranked, + seven

6. $$uke (bleshings upon him), Louisville Cardinals, unranked, + seven

7. DogTheBountyHunter, Kansas Jayhawks, #22 AP, + two

8. Lola, LSU Tigers, #13 AP, zero

9. Snottie, Tennessee Vols, #15 AP, zero

10. SockPuppet, Miami Hurricanes, #19 AP, zero

11. ChibaChews, Utah Utes, #12 AP, minus one

12. Q, Florida State Seminoles, #10 AP, minus three

13. Timmy!, Penn State Nittany Lions, minus five

14. McLovin, Ohio State Buckeyes, minus eleven

There has been some criticism of The Living Document, 2024 edition. The seven point bonanza for the unranked teams has been singled out for some shit-slamming. Allow me to point out that this new format was published on this here blog and emailed to each and every member of this august body on April 7, 2024 (see "12 Team CFP System" post from that date). The following four months would have been a good time to raise any concerns about the seven point bonanza. Now, it's too late. We'll just have to see how it goes. As it stands now, McLovin's pick looks vaguely suicidal and DPo's pick looks like a lock for big $$$. 

Let's see how it shakes out by January.

Still, we value harmony here at BRFL World Headquarters, so suggestions for how the BRFL should deal with the new college football landscape are welcome. With NIL money, the Tranny Portal and super-conferences I really don't know what the fuck to do. 

Let's get started, Brothers and Sisters.

Cash Money Spread Sheet (CMSS) BRFL 2023

Here is the link to the BRFL 2023 Cash Money Spread Sheet (CMSS). The password is Redskins76.

Here is a faster way. BRFL 2023.xlsx

If you don't want to go to all the trouble of dealing with prompts and passwords and similar such shit that will be sent to your email, with a time-sensitive, one-time password, as if you were getting the codes to the nuclear suitcase, then let's just break it down.

1. SockPuppet/Puppet Master: Champion. $374

2. Snottie: $332

3. KBron: $304

4. CCS: $234

5. Timmy!: $108

6. Ronde': $94

7. BreauxFreaux: -$46

8. Lola: -$88

9. DTBH: -$116

10. McLovin: -$144

11. DPo: -$159

12. $$uke: -$172

13. Chiba: -$172

14. Q: -$550 😭

The amount lost was $1 more than the amount won. Therefore, to balance the books, we give $1 to Q from the BRFL Slush Fund. This is the Commissioner's Award To The Loser (CATTL).

Recent changes to the Living Document should be reviewed. See April 7th blog post. These include a DPo proposed amendment wherein the top 12 teams (not just the top ten) in the inaugural AP Poll will be saddled with negative points, starting with the number 1 team which will start the season at -12.

And so on.
