REGULAR SEASON ENDS
Play Off Seeding Upheaval

Week 14 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League and it's the final week of the regular season. The final chance to cement the play off positions. And for two teams, the final chance to play spoiler in the post season. And spoiler they did play.

Let's get through the mystery after we solve the most important thing for you to do today.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Top of the ladder, Guns of Hochuli and the Helmand Nighthawks. Nothing to play for, both teams have the top seeding of the division. Potentially, we looking at the Torpedo Bowl match up here. In four prior meetings this year, the Nighthawks and the Guns of Hochuli have split the season 2-2. Their most recent meeting only three weeks ago saw the Nighthawks thump the Guns of Hochuli and put the notion into Coach Casey that they may be one team who can go the distance with them. Not this week though. In a low scoring game which was replicated across all games this week, the Guns of Hochuli held off a late charge on Monday Night by the Nighthawks. Not even Justin Tucker (K) missing a 35 yard field goal, the first of the season and earning a negative score, was enough to slow down the Gunners. Guns of Hochuli round out the season by advancing to 11-3 and the #1 seed for the play offs, 108 - 84.

Game two of the weekend and the first of the possible spoiler games. In Oregon the Who Dat Nation were hosting the Drunk Monkeys. In the week prior, an unexpected win by the Nation elevated them to the #3 seed. The Nation was always going to go to the play offs with their win in Week 13, but their Week 14 gave would determine the final seeding.The Nation should have a walk in the park and demolished the Drunk Monkeys who have barely shown up this year. But show up they did, and the only demolition was by the Monkeys systematic annihilation of the Nation. The Nation QB Drew Brees carried on a league wide trait of low scoring this weekend leaving the way open for the Monkeys to run the ball. And run the ball they did. Le'Von bell ran the ball so much, he outscored the entire Who Dat Nation team. The Monkeys showed , as we have reported all year, had they shown up, the quite possible could have been the #2 or #3 seed in the play offs. Instead, their lack of attendance relegated them to 5-9 season record, just one game out of a play off position. Drunk Monkeys win over the Who Dat Nation 137 - 49 holds the Nation in limbo, pending the outcome of the final game of the week.

While the continental USA froze last weekend (except Florida) the Australian Taipans were hosting the Black Cats in the final game this year Down Under. Regardless of the outcome, more people showed up for this game than the Jets game (too soon?) Taipans have been the team heavily scored against but got a break this week when the Black Cats started both Derek Carr (QB) and the Chiefs (DEF). Rookie mistakes open the way for teams to get a win, and the Cats were no exception. Cats played poorly not even able to muster 100 points for the game. Taipans went back and forth on their QB situation all week, (Rodgers or Ryan) before settling on Aaron. A late injury to Aaron Rodgers jeopardizes the Taipans future but they were able to play through and get a much needed win over the Black Cats, 112 - 97.

With the loss, the Black Cats, Who Dat Nation and the Australian Taipans were all tied at 6-8 for the season. Back into the rule book for the count back.

The Taipans win over the Black Cats elevates them to a higher divisional seeding of 3-3. The Taipans have the most points scored throughout the year of the three teams and unbelievably, one week after being on the outside, the Australian Taipans enter the Post Season as the #3 seed. The shock loss by the Who Dat Nation in the final week also put them into a count back. The Black Cats have not been able to stop a four week run of losses, which has seen their scoring output diminish. Although they didn't score very many points this week, The Who Dat Nation has outscored the Black Cats 1909 - 1846. The Who Dat Nation arrives in the post season lucky to have survived the count back as the #4 seed. The Black Cats, a former Torpedo Bowl Champion, get 50 yard seats to the first weekend of the play offs as the #5 seed.

So lets look at our Championship Bracket for next week.

#1 Guns of Hochuli. Gunners get to welcome divisional rivals the Who Dat Nation to town. Two weeks ago the Nation convincingly beat the Guns of Hochuli, after the Gunners took care of the Nation in two separate occasions earlier in the week. Who Dat Nation, if they want to be the Champions, have the hardest path to the Torpedo Bowl, but they are one of the two teams who were able to beat the Guns of Hochuli this year.

#2 Helmand Nighthawks welcome the other international team, the Australian Taipans to Wembley Stadium. Nighthawks own the regular season 2-1 over the Taipans including a win just two weeks ago when the Nighthawks began their end of year scoring spree. Nighthawks and the Taipans are the #1 and #2 teams in most points scored, in part due to the Nighthawks late season surge. The Taipans however, hold the dubious honor of most points scored against. These two teams have historically met regularly in the post season for the past few seasons.

Drunk Monkeys and the Black Cats can pick up their 50 yard bleacher seats from the Will Call window this week. They both get a bye to play for the wooden spoon in two weeks time.

Next weeks edition will be published late as the Associated Subsim Writers will be at the Jets Saturday night, the Giants on Sunday and then a train down to Maryland for the Redskins on 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 235 yards with 3 touchdowns, and 4 receptions for 62 yards, for a total of 57.80 points, the highest score recorded this year, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Running Back Le'Von Bell of the Drunk Monkeys the Week Fourteen MVT.
