THE RUMBLE

The CFG Reader’s Rumble is a 24-team, head-to-head college fantasy football league sponsored by our friends at U-Sports/AthlonSports and FantasyTrophies.com.  U-Sports was good enough to donate the league management services and FantasyTrophies.com is donating a killer trophy to our winner (see picture below).

AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR!  Round One of the Playoffs is complete!  Here are the results:

CRAZYHORSE 176.15
Tony Horsemana 81.95
Summary:  DOMINATION, plain and simple.  The Horseman had no chance in this lopsided affair.  Neil Young’s squad is looking like the favorite to win The Fat Man trophy.

Mmmmmmm Beer 147.60
Mister Bait 134.80
Summary:  Both teams performed admirably, but in the end the explosive outings from Beer’s Joe Webb and Naaman Roosevelt were too much for Bait to overcome.

Make It Happen 168.70
Green Man! 110.45
Summary:  Make It rode outstanding performances from Ricky Dobbs and Toby Gerhart to destroy Green Man, who’s Daniel Thomas and Mardy Gilyard came up small when it counted most.

Minimen 129.55
Cantrells Calvary 91.80
Summary:  Minimen’s trio of Keenum-Dunbar-Salas clocked in solid games to help take care of an overmatched Calvary squad.

THE FINAL FOUR
* Mmmmmmm Beer (9-2) vs. Minimen (8-3)
Can Beer win his league-leading 6th game in a row?

* CRAZYHORSE (9-2) vs. Make It Happen (8-3)
It’s a battle of two Geek Forum regulars here:  Neil Young vs. MikeTTU

CFG ESPN PICK’EM

The CFG ESPN Pick ‘Em is a pick-the-winner game with a twist: Players must rank their picks in order of confidence.  There are 28 competitors on The Quest for the Fat Man - affectionately referring to the trophy donated by our sponsor, FantasyTrophies.com (see picture above).

Weekly Summary
Two weeks to go, and it looks like a six-man race for the Fat Man.  carolina blue has taken a 5-point lead over Debaser.  Bullrush-Organization has made a push into the Top 5 with a nice 42-point outing last week.  The pressure is on as we enter the home stretch.  One slip up, and you could be out of the running.
