WILD END TO SEASON
...with tie breaker surprises.

Week Fourteen in the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football, and the regular season is done for the year. We'll tell you who's going to be playing in December, who's missed out on a tiebeaker, and what the future looks like for the eight teams in the play offs.

But before we get to that, this important message in the name of fallen fantasy football teams everywhere.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FFL REPORTS FOR THIS YEARS "BEST OF SUBSIM".

Did we save some of the best games of the year till the final week? Oh yes we did. With only two teams clinched into the post season brackets, five teams were fighting it out for their seeding, and four more teams were scrambling to get that final berth. Let's take this apart from the top down, and see what this means as we head into the last two weeks.

The Dragons were the #1 team all year. Right from the first kick off in week one, they made it known they were here for another championship. They had been in a close race all season for the top position, and in week 14 were facing the Reapers. A win would give them the #1 seed. The Reapers on the other hand, at 4-9, needed the win and then some help just to make it to the play offs. Coach Rick's team put up some good numbers, but the duo of Eli Manning and Maurice Two-Dads', saw this game over early. With no mercy rule, the Reapers banged on the points and annihilated the Dragons 142 - 94. The win keeps the Reapers still in the hunt with a big score, while the Dragons, already seeded into the Championship, looked across at the Taipans/Black Cats game.

The Taipans had quietly slithered to an impressive 9-0 divisional wins and were looking for a clean sweep of the division against the Black Cats. The Dragons loss mean the Taipans could steal the #1 seed away with a win. The Cats, who put themselves in a position to win the final play off position, needed to stomp the Taipans. With everyone on the Cats playing in the early game, the Taipans put up a century plus score, and with the Dragons loss, snatched the #1 seed away. The Cats would lay in wait for the result of other games before knowing where their post season may lay.

The biggest game of the year, the Ghost Monkeys and Every Given Sunday. Divisional rivals within a half game of each other, the winner to advance to the Championship Series, the loser to also wait out other games. EGS benched Alex Smith for Drew Brees (why???) and the result came down to Monday Night. The Monkeys had a lead before their Seahawks defense took the field. EGS had Marshawn Lynch The Beast running for over 100 and a touchdown, but The gap was too big, and The Ghost Monkeys advance to the Championship Series with a 123 - 107 win. Every Given Sunday's post season rest on the result of other games.

Halfway through the season the Guns Of Hochuli looked like being the world beaters, until they got into a four game losing streak. In the final week they were pitted against the only zombie team in the league, the Delaware Destroyers. Last week I would have predicted a landslide win for the Gunners but it wasn't even close. Even with Darren McFadden (DD) out the Destroyers remaining players shot down the Gunners 112 - 67.

In so doing, the Destroyers stayed alive with a play off hope, while cementing the top four teams that would head to the Torpedo Bowl. Imagine what the Destroyer season could have been if their coach had shown up.

As the teams locked in from the Gunners loss, the Wild Boston Terriers, still growling after the backward pass by Rodgers weeks prior, needed to hold their position still. Against the BP Badasses, already elimated from the post season, the Badasses went to play spoiler and almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year. Coach McBee needed every yard of Rob the Gronk's 160 yards receiving to secure the Doggies in the Consolation Series with a 118 - 102 win.

The final play off spot would be decided by the result of the Helmand Nighthawks and the Nutcrunchers game. A win to either team still needed help and some points to get into the playoffs. The Nighthawks, picked by many (including me) to win the whole damm lot, rested in the hands of Antonio Gates (22 points) while the Nutcrunchers would leave it in the hands of Terrific Tom (28 points). In the highest scoring game of the week, Mister Chris finally got some much needed British redemption downing the Nutcrunchers 130 - 102, and putting himself into a four way tie breakers.

The top seven teams were in place as the Subsim Committee headed into overtime to break the lock. The first tie breaker rule was divisional winning percentage. Despite winning their last game, the Nighthawks were 3-7 within the division, and the first team relegated out of the tie breaker. Total points scored is the second tie breaker, and naturally, having made it this far, the Delaware Destroyers were zombi-ed out. The tie break between the Nutcrunchers and the reapers would come down to points scored.

Nutcrunchers -1225 points. Reapers - 1309.

The Reapers unlikely win and big score over the Dragons in the final game of the regular season elevates them to the #8 seed in the play offs.

Coach Pit upon being told he'd advanced into the post season, while doing cartwheels, (and not spilling a drop of beer), said "We circled this date at the beginning of the season. We came to play, and it was everything we thought it would be. We played it hard and in the end, we're just to come away with the win and look forward to next weeks game."

So here's how the post season will start out next week.

The Taipans (12-2) clinched the #1 seed in the Championship Division and will play # 4 seed, Every Given Sunday (8-6) . These teams did not meet in the regular season. The Dragons (11-3) as the #2 seed will host the #3 team, the Ghost Monkeys (9-5). The Dragons beat the Ghost Monkeys in two games during the regular season.

In the Consolation Series, three teams finished at 7-7 and the same tie breaker rules apply. The Wild Boston Terriers earn the #5 seed, having the same divisional wins as the Black Cats but scoring more points. They host the #8 seed, divisional rivals The Reapers (5-9) who they beat twice during the regular season. The #6 team of The Black Cats with 5-5 divisional wins, also host divisional rivals and the #7 seed, The Guns of Hochuli who have 4-6 divisional wins. The Cats and the Gunners split the regular season games 1-1.

So there we have it. An unlikely top seed, the favorite in the #2 position, and the line in Vegas for the Torpedo Bowl Champion is expected to come out of the Ghost Monkeys and the Dragons game. Next weeks column will be delayed in broadcast, originating from Candlestick Park late Monday night.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 3 sacks, 1 interception, 1 defensive touchdown, 1 blocked kick and allowing less than 14 for a total of 20 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the Seahawk Defense of the Ghost Monkeys with the Week Fourteen MVT.
