Wow! What an exciting way to finish the 2015 KSFBFFL regular season! Needing a victory to break their 4 game losing streak and secure the final playoff spot the Dixieland 3/5rs came out on fire and just DESTROYED the Polygamy Pounders.
Lets take a look at how the Playoff Bracket shakes out.
Pretender Bracket
First lets take a look at the "Pretender" Bracket. With the Coyotes recent loss they tumble all the way from a #2 seed to the #4 seed where they take on The Polygamy Pounders in the first round. Waiting in the wings is everyone's favorite Bridesmaid the PV Monkeys.
The only team on this side of the bracket with any championship experience is the Polygamy Pounders but that was back in 2011 and their title was a complete fraud due to their D/ST scoring 18 points on Monday Night Football during their Semi Finals match up against the 3/5rs.
#1. PV Porch Monkeys (12-1)
Fresh off 126 point beat down of the Coyotes the Porch Monkeys have locked up the #1 seed and a first round bye. As a reward for their great season the Monkeys have by far the easiest path to the championship game as they will face the winner of the Coyotes/Pounders match.
GM Pearce McKinney knows he has a lot to prove this post season “No one believes in us.” You hear that all the time in sports. You hear it so often that it’s almost become meaningless. You hear an athlete say it, and you just kind of roll your eyes. The thing about “no one believes in us,” though … is that most of the time it’s deserved. When people don’t believe in you — as hard to accept as it may be — what it usually amounts to is this: It means that you still haven’t proven it."
#4. West Canaan Coyotes (8-4) vs #5 Polygamy Pounders (7-6)
The Coyotes have rode the hot hand of Tommy Brady all year but they will need some production from the RB's (Combined 5 points last week) if they want their season to continue.
Pounders GM Keane Cheese is ready for the challege "Anytime you're having to face Tom Brady its gonna be a tough match up but with the way Cam has been playing lately we've got a chance. We have some major issues in our Running game as well but we will be addressing them this week. Above all else we have to band together and OVERCOME. THE. ADVERSITY. ON. THE. FIELD"
Projected Winner- West Canaan Coyotes 89, Polygamy Pounders 82
Look for the Coyotes to get just enough production out of Tom Brady and Demarco Murray to keep their season alive.
Contender Bracket
Wowzers, this side of the bracket is just LOADED with 3 former champions including the last 2 winners. The Cobbs may be a slight favorite but will face a tough test when they take on the winner of the 3/5rs and Firechefs.
With such a loaded bracket whoever emerges will likely be the one to give McKinney his second bridesmaid dress of 2015.
#2. Slobb on my Cobb (9-4)
With an impressive 136 point performance the Cobb's have locked up the #2 seed and put the league on notice that they intend to hold on to The Martin for another year. New starter Marcus Mariota shocked a lot of people last week with his 35 pt performance but GM Tristy Trupka was not one of them.
"We knew going in Mariota was a young guy with real physical attributes and a lot of potential" Trupka said "Given our playoff lock going into the week we decided to put our Boom or Bust lineup on the field. We could only win and boy did Marcus and Darren really come through for us"
#3 The Firechefs (9-4) vs #6 Dixieland 3/5rs (6-7)
Common logic says the Firechefs should dominate this game as they were the top scoring team all year and the 3/5rs had to snap a 4 game losing streak just to make the playoffs....but things aren't always as they appear. The Firechefs have scored under 80 points in 2 of their past 3 games while the 3/5rs exploded for 132 points in a do or die game last week.
"We lost focus after starting 4-1" The 3/5rs extremely good looking and charismatic coach said "We saw what Rebel Yell was able to do, taking home a trophy, and we started celebrating with them...but its not our trophy and I made it a point to the team that we have our own trophy to win. I sat them down and told them in no uncertain terms that WE, THE DIXIELAND THREE FIFTHERS, WILL BE THE ONE TO GIVE PEARCE MCKINLEY HIS SECOND BRIDESMAID DRESS OF 2015"
Projected winner - Dixieland 3/5rs 112, The Firechefs 83
Looks for the 3/5rs to continue their hot hand with a blowout victory of the reeling Firechefs.
