BRFL Week 15 Results

 Week 15.

KBron. Memphis. Did not play (DNP). The AP bumps you up one. Bitch. +23.

Big Dom. SMU goes down to Dumbo, 31 - 34 on a walk off 56 yard FG. The pain is real. So real. The 'L' is compounded by the AP docking you minus 4. +42 is where you live, BD.

BreauxFreaux. Once again, Ashton Jeanty is THE MAN. Nothing less than The Heisman, as far as I'm concerned. Boise State Broncos 21, UNLV 7. 3 for the Conference Championship win (see the Living Document), +1 on the no-drop, +2 move-up from the Almighty AP, huge +6 weekend. +52 total heading into your BYE week in the playoffs. Only the Ponies can cock-block you from taking The Cheese. 

DPo. The God Squad DNP. +15.

Ronde'. VTech DNP. Unranked, it's all about zero. +13.

$$uke. Louisville DNP. So close, yet so very far. +19 on the season.

DTBH. Kansas DNP. Your brief run at relevance comes to an end. 0 on the season.

Lola O. LSU DNP. So nowhere. Minus 1 on the year.

Psycho. Tennessee doesn't play for the SEC championship. Yet the playoffs beckon. Just to be an asshole, the AP drops you 1. + 28 on the year. 

SockPuppet. Miami DNP. From contender to Mr. Nobody in just 15 weeks. AP rubs salt in your wounds. Minus 1 in The Poll. +25 on the season. 

Chiba. Utes DNP. Just a piss-poor season for you, My Lad. Minus 10. Are you even bowl eligible? Too lazy to look it up.

Q. FSU. 😂😂😂DNP. Minus 21.


Timmy! Penn State 37, Oregon 45. Will James Franklin ever win a meaningful game? The AP takes it easy on you, only minus 2. + 24 on the season and you're playoff bound. The law of averages says that PSU gets a win, at least in the first round. Then again ... James Franklin.

McLovin. Ohio State DNP for the conference championship. Again. Ryan Day coaching for his life in the playoffs. Weirdness: 1 for the no drop. And the AP says "+1" move up on The Poll. +7 on the year. Make a run in the playoffs or die, McLovin.

GG Week 15 Results

 GG, Conference Championships Edition


There were no sweeps. 

Arizona State ass-whips Iowa State. Sun Devils 45, 'Clones 19. Most people picked Arizona State but early on it looked like the Cyclones were going to make a game of it. But then ... Cam Skattebo.

Georgia dumps Texas in OT. Dawgs 22, Horns 19. Very few picked this one right. I wasn't one of the very few. This pisses me off. 

Clemson bests SMU. Tigers 34, Ponies 31 on a walk-off 56 yard field goal. SockPuppet is the only one of the fourteen BRFLers who called this one. Hating.

KBron. 1 to make 28.
BigDom. 1 to go to 31.
BreauxFreaux. 1 to reach 37.
DPo. Deuce. 36.
Ronde'. Double up. 21. Still not good.
$$uke. Just one. 51. Dumbass.
Dawg. Gutterball. 0 + 32 = 32.
Lola O. 1 to go to 29.
SockPuppet. 2 to get to 35. Nice.
Psycho. 1. 32. Get it together.
Chiba. 1 to reach 40. Threatening? Fuck you.
Q. 1. 23. Yeah. Twenty three.
Timmy! 1. 33.
McLovin. 1 to make 27. No big deal.

Commissioner Town Hall

A message from Your Commissioner. 

There are only Eight Bowl Games between now and the start of the CFP Playoff. As many a Talking Head much wiser than The Commissioner predicted, the ascent of the expanded 12 team playoff, NIL and the Tranny Portal have relegated Bowl Season to roughly the same heft as learning to write cursive or speak Gaeilge (pronounced 'Gwal-gah' but mispronounced as 'Gay-lick', which is an adjective, not a noun. But I digress).

I humbly submit that we take the best 6 of these games, split them into two sets of three games each. And we just play it straight. Usual GG rules. 

I feel compelled to hear the rest of you turds out on this because I am so mercilessly kicking the living shit out of all of you in GG.

Let me know.

Bleshings.

BRFL Week 14 Results

 Week 14


KBron. Memphis finally comes through for the Bronie. On the road vs ranked Tulane, Memphis 34 - Tulane 24. 1 for the win and then, DIDDLE!DIDDLE!DIDDLE!,  +5 more. +6 on the week. +22 on the season. Salvation for Special K. 

BigDom. SMU disembowels lowly Cal 38 - 6. Dave Kent shit-fit. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +1 from the AP. +3 on the week and Dominic clings to a share of the lead with +46.

BreauxFreaux. Boise State ass-hammers the Beavers. Broncos 38, Oregon State 14. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +1 from the AP. Total on the season is +46. 
Both of these little bitches, Breaux and BigDom, are playoff bound. We'll see who does the cryin'. 


DPo. The God Squad loses another one. This time they take the 'L' from powerhouse Sam Houston State, 20 - 18. Hey, it was a road game. Stay at +15.

Ronde'. Virginia Tech beats up on Virginia 37 - 17 at home. Too little too late. +1 to go to +13. I always have to remind myself that you're not in last place. Weird. 

$$uke. Louisville destroys Kentucky U 41 - 14 on the road. The AP gives not one shit about this impressive win. +1 on the week. +19 on the season and fuck you all. 


DogTheBountyHunter. Kansas goes on the road and gets blown out by Baylor, 45 - 17. Who the hell is the Kansas coach? I don't know. But Dave Aranda is still an asshole and I think he should be fired and then murdered. 0 week. 0 season. Extremely pathetic. 

Lola O. Schizophrenic team much? In Death Valley, LSU schools Oklahoma 37 - 17. 1 for the win. Minus 1 on the season. What's the deal here?

Psycho. UT finds somebody they can beat. Tennessee Vols 36, Vanderbilt Commodores 23, at Vanderbilt. Is this, like, a rivalry game? Dunno! Comically, 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop and +1 from the AP. +3 weekend puts Psycho at +29. 


SockPuppet. You're fucking kidding me. In God-forsaken Syracuse, NY, The Orange 42 - Miami Hurricanes 38. Kyle McCord throws for something like 380 yards. That is just so wrong. The AP drops you minus 6. At +26, you suck hind-tit to Psycho. Own it. 

ChibaChews. Utah @ UCF and it's Utes 28 and the UCF guys 14. +1 for the win. You're at minus 10, Douche. 


Q. Oh, for God's sake. Florida rips Florida State to the tune of 31 - 11. This was a home game for FSU but, really, does it matter? Stay at minus 21. 

Timmy! Penn State mauls Maryland 44 - 7 in Happy Valley. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, +1 from the AP. +3 adds up to +26 on the season. PSU is headed to the Conference Championship. 


McLovin. Ohio State spontaneously combusts at home vs hated Michigan, 10 - 13. Many would like to lay this disaster at the feet of the Ohio State coaching staff which, it must be said, is not very good. But all year, all anyone heard was how talented the Ohio State roster was. What an incredible bunch of athletes had assembled in Columbus. 
Strange. 
If they were so wonderful, why couldn't they block a Michigan defense with a depleted secondary playing Cover 2 or Quarters, and barely blitzing at all, for the entire game? Why couldn't they stop a Michigan running game that everybody and their grandmother knew was coming? 
Dunno!
The AP is kind and only drops Ohio State 5. McLovin is dead in the water at +5 on the season. 
Fuck you, Ryan Day.
