Monday Morning Quarterback

No games are too close to call; Bracket progression will be updated tomorrow, after finalizing scores.

Championship Bracket:
#3 Silver City will dispatch #6 California and faces #2 Hill Valley next week.
#4 Toronto will defeat #5 Orgrimmar and comes up against #1 Phoenix in week fourteen.

#5 Orgrimmar will host #6 California to determine draft order; It has just dawned on me that the winner of this game should have the higher draft pick. So the new graphic will reflect that- the winner will pick ninth, the loser will pick tenth. All Consolation games will reward the game's WINNER with the higher draft pick.

Consolation Bracket:
#10 Bristol will knock out #11 Levee and matchup with #7 Chicago
#12 Oakwood will upset #9 Flint and challenge #8 New York

#9 Flint will face #11 Levee, with the winner scoring the fifth overall pick. The loser will pick sixth.

The official draft order is actually going to be:

 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 5, 6, 3, 4, 2, 1.

Best Start: RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Silver City (14.8pts)
The Lawfirm played over questionable regular starter Stevan Ridley, and came through with a very solid line; Both players ended up active, but Green-Ellis was the right call. Silver City ends up here when it matters: after mailing it in down the stretch, SCFC made a number of smart moves, even starting an active TE for the first time in like a month.

Worst Bench: S James Ihedigbo, Orgrimmar (18 pts)
Really this should be Toronto, as LTP's RB Reggie Bush aggravated an injury in warmups, and WR Tiquan Underwood put up all zeroes, with LaGarrette Blount and Jacoby Jones better options on the bench. But Toronto won despite itself, leaving the Horde second guessing its options: A bevy of benched IDPs scored better than the team's starters, along with deposed starting QB Colin Kaepernick. Optimally, the matchup might have gone to the wire.
