    Holy cow Bill!!!!

    I bet your QB had 50 points today... maybe more. I felt pretty good about my team scoring roughly 140-145 until I saw your QB dropped half-a-hundred by himself. Hell I bet you beat me with your QB, RB and WRs alone.

    To add to my woes, one of my starting RBs (Grigsby for Zona) fumbles after a 13 yard dash on his first carry, and gets pulled by Stoops. The freshman they replace him with runs wild and he Grigsby never sees the field again.. LSU decided to go back to the RB platoon... killers, just killers.

    Son of a...

    GRRRR


    I'm getting some of that player shuffle too Corey. Tech was using their other RB against the Aggies so the guy I started hardly touched the ball.

    Of course most of my problems are self-inflicted.
    Earlier in the week USC was acting like Sanchez might not play, so I left Max Hall in as my starter intending to change it later when things were more sure.
    I didn't notice that BYU was playing on Thursday!! So... I was locked in before I even noticed and what happened?

    Hall and BYU implode, and I get to see that Sanchez throws for 5 TD's.

    I wish I'd just stay out of my own way!!!

    I got lucky I forgot to yank my TE (Kyle Rudolph ND) and the Auburn Defense, both had bye's. Also kept Colt McCoy on the bench as I figured the PSU kid and PSU would hang 50 or more on UM, he still had a good score not 50 like Bill's guy though.

    Here's something I don't understand. I beat MotorCity Maulers 116-94 this week. But when I look at the standings under streak it shows I've lost 2 games in a row.

    Bill's team has certainly gotten hot, his division record might hurt him later if there continue to be ties.

    TOK,

    standing have not been updated to reflect this weeks results .... we've completed 8 weeks of play yet still only show 7.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think I've clinched a playoff berth......I need to ask the Commish if I can sit my starters! :wink:

    For all you owners competing for playoff spots, I ready to give up the Kansas QB to the highest bidder....! Think about it....I'm could use a couple of stud WR and a defensive upgrade!

    tempting T, tempting...

    still, I have Chase Daniel who doesn't have any more bye weeks...even when he sucks, he's worth 30 points due to offensive design. I have two defenses (USC and TCU)... I may need something more stable at RB or WR myself.

    Having Michael Floyd sitting out this week really hurt because the only time Houston Nutt screws up his use of Dexter McCluster is when he's in my starting lineup--

    Not that I am anywhere near making it but what is the criteria for making the playoffs?

    Tom, I could not find it explained in any definitive manner, however, I did see that there were two weeks of playoffs and assumed from that that there would be a four team play-off - likely the top 2 from each division. That could just be wishful thinking on my part but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....
