XII: Week Fifteen Recap

The top seeds continue on to the Larkspur Bowl final for just the third time in twelve years; first in LBV when #1 Phoenix defeated #2 Hill Valley, then last year when #2 Pawnee upended the #1 McFlys. This year, after HCM beat MMC and JSC dropped HVM, we'll see the 9-4 teams rematch after their week thirteen slugfest. 


RESULTS:

Week 15 Matchups

 

PHOENIX over BINGHAMTON (5th Place Game)
Phoenix's fifth place finish is its third worst of all time, but represents an improvement on last year's consolation bracket winning 7th place conclusion. David Montgomery and wire fodder Tony Pollard get the credit here, but it's another disappointing end in the desert. Binghamton Head Coach Mark Serokosz celebrated a birthday this week!

SOUTH PARK over MAR-A-LAGO
The Cows season of what-if could be extrapolated to a maddening degree here, as they might have drawn and defeated the Sanitation Crew had they had not lost a one point game in week seven. That said, they might have rolled over and died in week 14... so best not to get too hung up on theoreticals. The Grabbers should retire their namesake after the season. 

OHIO over PAWNEE
Demoralized after missing a chance to defend their title, the Pride are one-and-done in their consolation bracket bid, and will battle Mar-A-Lago for the third pick next week; Blame Kenyan Drake, who was pedestrian. Or credit Ohio, who had their 3-2 start leak away from them by doing things like leaving Michael Thomas (IR) in their lineup.

CARMEL over DEPUTY (11th Place Game)
Carmel can really take heart in what they accomplished this year- with all the injuries piling up early, this is probably the best 11th place finish in the league's dozen years. Not from a points perspective or anything, just from a grit and determination standpoint. Deputy went 1-6 in their last seven games, never exceeding 190 points.
