Week 10 Recap

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Each year, our league seems to experience more and more parity. And yet things have never been as close as they are this year. With only three weeks remaining, I can honestly say the following: EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE STILL HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS! Think about that. That's pretty amazing.

Week 10 saw Big B, Willey, Kav, CCD, and B Jones notch important victories.

Macon in now three games up in the Alba Division, and can likely coast to a first-round bye. In order to secure the regular season championship, however, Macon is going to have to hold off the fast-charging CCDs, who have won five in a row and are only one game back.

My early pick for owner of the year would have to be Willey. After Week 7, his squad was dead in the water with a 1-6 record. Three weeks later - and three victories later - Willey stands alone in third place of his division. Oh, and he just acquired some guy named Adrian Peterson.

I also need to give a big shout out to B Jones. The Runners have won three straight games and are now tied for third place in the Biel division. As surprising as it seems, B Jones now has a great shot of making the playoffs and doing some damage when he gets there. Do I have to remind you that this is the same B Jones who wasn't even going to pick up a kicker because it was too much of a hassle?

While Willey seems to be the early favorite for Best Owner of the Year, I'm not quite ready to make a prediction on Worst Owner of the Year. That's because Saber and Swanny keep trying to outdo one another. Combined, SABER AND SWANNY HAVE LOST SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW!!!! Their squads are both projected to put up 125+ points this week, though, so maybe they'll be able to snap out of their respective funks.

Proving just how superior the Biel division is compared to the Alba division, please note that Kav is in last place at 4 - 6. AND YET HE COULD STILL WIN THE DIVISION IF HE WINS HIS NEXT THREE GAMES. Things haven't been this tight since Big B tried to carry that punching bag full of water up three flights of stairs to his attic/room.

Fryx and TP share the distinct honor of having the worst record at 3 - 7. And yet they're both just two games back from second place in their division.

These final three weeks are going to be very, very interesting. Strap up, gentlemen.
