Final 4 Scores

For the most part, these are the games that people care about and even tweet about. I tried to get #Final4CollegeFantasyFootball trending, but I didn't have enough pull over the millions of other tweeters.. and my 200+ followers didn't join in the fun. That doesn't mean these weren't good games.. at least the #3 vs. #4 game was and the title game was a snoozefest only rivaled by.. well, the real title game.

#4 Scuba vs. #3 Joshua
Prediction: Josh 123-Scuba 113
Actual: Scuba 114-Josh 100
Scuba may have worked his way into a few dolla dolla bills with his minor upset win over Josh. Imagine this guy taking over for Bauman and then turning them into a final 4 team.. he almost reminds me of.. well, Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers this year. Captain Comeback himself. How'd Scuba do it? RG3, Pead, Jeffrey, and the Hook 'Em D all went over 20 and Swope and Carson Wiggs added 10 and 14 respectively. Josh gave it a shot with Montee Ball's 27, Blackmon's 38 and Jarius Wright's 14 but Landry Jones last season swoon continued and LSU's defense had it's worst game of the season. Tough game but a good game.
What it means: Landry Jones is back as is Montee Ball but Josh may need another QB anyway and he's losing Blackmon (slide coming). Scuba rode RG3 all year and he declared, Pead graduated and Jeffrey declared. Can he revamp? Doubtful. Both these guys fall.
If this were a JCVD movie it would be: Double Impact (only thing better than 1 Van Damme? 2.)

#2 Minnesota State vs. #1 T-Raz
Prediction: T-Raz 117- Brian 107
Actual: T-Raz 130- Brian 77
This game had high drama on it before the game but not during the game. The infamous trade crushed all momentum the title game had, much like media hype does for the Super Bowl (imagine following it this year? Ugh.) Did T-Raz need to sink to shady Belichek levels to win? Doubtful, but he did it anyway as he was led by Darron Thomas 22, Cody Hoffman (I cut him... seriously) 30, Florida 24 and LMJ 21.. Wright and Jones also pitched in 15 and 12. Brian couldn't get much going.. Murray 12, Trent 16, Bullock (KICKER) 17, and MSU's d 19. He also got 2 0s and a 1. Honestly. Ouch.
What it means: T-Raz is automatically the BCS winner this year and the rest of the league comes down to a vote. Did Brian do enough in the regular season to stay at #2? Will his swoon leave a bad taste in voter's mouths? Only time will tell. I will tell you this, this league will go through a rule change this offseason.
If this were a JCVD movie it would be: Sudden Death (Brutal)
