Week 11

Hey All,

It's coming down to the final week in all four divisional races in the UMFL. So this week's blog will be know as "The UMFL: Chase for the Playoffs Edition." Let's take a look at the playoff picture.

Western Conference
Pacific Division- This week's game between The Quite Smashing Pumpkins and The Little Flowers of Jesus will decide who makes the playoffs. Both teams are 7-3-1 and the winner here will take the division crown. Odd team out in this division are the Piranhas. The Piranhas sit at 7-4-0 with no chance to win the division. Wow, what a difference a couple of ties make in the race.

Midwest Division- The Mighty Birnkrandt Moose hold a one game lead over the Cunning Old Guys. If the Moose win this week they will take the division. If the Moose lose and the Old guys win, then the league will have to go all the way down to the fourth tie-breaker to decide the winner. That tie-breaker is total points scored during the regular season. Right now, the Old Guys have outscored the Moose, 872-868. So, to win the division, the Old Guys need to win their game, have the Moose lose their game, and then hope they hold on to their five point lead in total points scored. Whew!!!!

Eastern Conference
Southern Division- The Avalon Aces face the K. Kiwis for the division crown. The winner is in as division champs, the loser stays home.

Atlantic Division- The Thunder Mountain Lightning control their own destiny. If they win this week, they win the division. The Canoga Lakes Capitalists need to win their game this week along with a Lightning loss to claim the divsion title.

Okay folks, for this week we know there are some Thanksgiving Day games, so get your starting lineups into the commissioner by kickoff Thursday. All the byes are over in the NFL, so all players are eligible.

Have a great last week of the UMFL regular season!!!!!
