Locksmith Finishes Historic Season and
Removes All Debate on Who is #1
Though college football’s debate on
who is the real #1 will go on for the next 35 days, the CFGL’s best became
crystal clear n Saturday night. The
Locksmith capped a truly historic season with a 45 point week and he eclipsed
the all-time record for total points in a CFGL season. Saturday’s action only served as the crown
jewel of one of the most consistent seasons ever in The League.
The Locksmith used wins in his 20,
15, and 10 point games to run his season total to an incredible 507
points. Not only did he outscore the
biggest field in League history, but also outscored the previous eight winners
of the CFGL, eclipsing Barndawg’s record of 503.5 points in Season Eight. Perhaps the most impressive part of his
performance is that by weeks, this is the shortest season in CFGL history, with
only 14 weeks for picks.
Locksmith averaged more than 36
points per week, including a zero in one week and a seven in another. Without those two weeks, he averaged 42
points per week that included:
·
A single perfecto
·
4 conference bonuses
·
7 dog game winners
·
10 weeks of 30+ points
In week three, The Locksmith moved
into the top 10 with a KState $ line and 62 point week and never dropped
out. He added his perfecto in week six
and stayed in the top three the rest of the way. It was week 12 that his 20.5 point dog hit
and there was not a doubt the rest of the way.
Here are some of the past winners
that the Locksmith outperformed to set the record:
Historic
Results, Winner TOTAL POINTS
CFGL1 - Reidtard 340
CFGL2 - Hussion 384.5
CFGL3 - Honk City - 400.5
CFGL4 - Reilly - 462.5
CFGL5 - Hammes - 490
CFGL6-Dragon - 381
CFGL7- Primetime - 457.5
CFGL8 - Barndawg - 503.5

Congratulations to the Locksmith on
the greatest regular season in CFGL history…and on to the rest of the field.
Drew Bledsoe Falls Just Short Perfecto,
League Title, and Hall of Fame
As incredible as the Locksmith season was, it was nearly eclipsed by Drew
Bledsoe’s run at the champ. Drew Bledsoe
spent the last four weeks mounting a charge at the League champ and had Alabama
covered on Saturday, it would be he who is wearing the crown and taking home
the loot. Had the Tide been able to
cover the 7-point spread in the SEC Championship, Bledsoe WOULD be in the Hall
of Fame…the CFGL Hall of Fame as a League Champion. The Tide would have provided him a 75 point
week and the 20 point perfecto bonus would have given him enough to surpass the
Locksmith by 17.5 points. As it falls,
GDBITHOF ends up in second place with an incredible 472.5 points. He wins Carroll’s Credit Union by more than
70 points.
Stumblin’ Drunks Take Advantage of
Beast Infection Staggering to the Finish
One time League leader, Beast Infection
totaled just 54.5 points in the last three weeks of the season and the Drunks
take advantage of his temporary illness.
Stumblin’ Drunks ride a week 11 perfecto and 34.5 points on the
final day to take third place. Beast Infection’s
flare up was contained on Saturday as he only won 1 of his 5 picks.
The Infection’s condition nearly
worsened when RipperRipski scored 60 points and seemed destined for the
division win on Planet Weis. It was #68 John
Force however, who topped Ripski and the rest of the division on the day, stealing the 10
point bonus and allowing the Beast to win the Planet and take home an
additional $150.00.
RipperRipski finishes a strong #5 in
his rookie season and heads into the bowl games as a strong contender to take
that title home.
Coach, Nittany Lyin, and P-Horse Top
Their Division; Round out the Top 10
Nine year veteran Coach dominated
Petrino’s Hog Riders, winning by over 80 points and finishes #6 overall, his best
finish ever. The lifelong Irish fan
edged out rookie RollTideYall by 0.3 points and hopes that the Irish will be
able to edge the Tide in the same way in January. Two more rookies, Nittany Lyin and P-Horse
finish #8 and 9 respectively and win their conference. It was P-Horse’s
Saturday Heroics that netted him 70 points and the Shapiro All-Star title after
Deeds and Welchtwin battled at the top for most of the year. The Morgan Brothers, Doug & Kyle, round
out the top ten with Schematic Advantage.
Rookies are the Story of the Rest of
the Top 20
Season Nine had a record number of
rookies and they lined the Top 20 of the final standings. Of the rooks, Raider Power, goldline.com, and
KC Mizzou Mafia all survived final week zeroes to land themselves in the top 20
at #12, 17, and 20. In addition, Urban
CrierLiar and Col Touch Down had strong enough seasons to finish #18 and #19
respectively.
Overall rookies made up half of the
top 20 spots in the CFGL, making it clear that growth was “For the Good of The
League”.
The Bad and The Ugly and The Rest
Nine year veteran, La Maquina
finishes first out of the money and just three points out of his first year
paid by the League, he was also beaten by his rookie brother, who finished in
the loot…Three weeks ago, Mamacita looked like a lock for some money but her
last three weeks the weather changed on her picks...Last year’s bowl champion
TP3 finishes #29, and last year’s regular season champ, Barndawg finishes at
#39…Lowest finish in the Johnson family (7 total entries) goes to Mr. Kasey
Johnson who doesn’t score in championship week and finishes #35…One time
leader, Beaver Believer was the USC of the League as he ends the season at #55
after holding the #1 spot during the season…and last but not least, actually,
last and least, is Air Raid who finishes with just 122 points, averaging less
than 9 points per week.
League founders, Commish and Deeds would like to thank you all for an incredible Season Nine. Details on the Bowl Season will be forthcoming this week and we will run it all back with picks for the 35 bowls.
