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.

More Scores
#7 Cherns vs. #8 Billy
Prediction: No score but Billy wins.
Actual: Billy 102-Cherns 82
I was right, Cherns couldn't get a full line-up and winners win when it comes to bowl games as Billy gets another victory, though, this one not for 1st place like previous years. Billy got double digit days from Luck, Burkhead, White, and Sammy Watkins which was enough to hold off 34 from Vick Ballard and solid games from Kenjon Barner and AJ Jenkins. The rest of the cast? Yuck, 13 points. Seriously.
What does it mean? Nothing, Billy will be back next year and Cherns will talk a big game, revamp himself, claim he's putting work aside to run the league then fall back into the same schedule of working too hard for no real reason and acting tough when he remembers the rest of us.
If this were a JCVD movie it would be: Street Fighter
#6 Joe-Dub vs. #5 Crass
Prediction: Crass wins
Actual: Crass 109-Joe-Dub 95Called it. I'm good like that, Brandon Weeden had a great game facing Stanford and not LSU or Alabama, which like I predicted, would get Crass the win. 33 from Weeden, 31 from Taylor and off to the races. Joe got some production from Sheelhaase and Ellington, but that wasn't enough with lackluster final games from Michael Floyd, David Wilson, and Ruben Randle.
What it means? Crass has been hanging around the top for the past few seasons and Joe probably had his best year. Both teams have a few NFL defections so it'll be interesting to see if either can put it together next year to get over the hump.
If this game were a JCVD movie it would be: Bloodsport (Probably the best game)

Some Bowl Game Results
#11 Fat Joe vs. #12 Zach
Projection: Zach 96- Fat Joe 84
Actual: Fat Joe 112- Zach 73
Edgar has one of the best HS teams in the state of Wisconsin year in and year out.. at least for their school size. That doesn't matter in fantasy sports as Zach found out this season. A rough start and then a rough finish to his first season as Joe blasted him 112-73 in the Toilet Bowl. Joe, fat as he is, had balanced scoring with EJ Manuel, Jared Abbrederis, Rashard Greene, Quinn Sharp, the Bama defense, and Nick Toon all going over 10 points. Zach was only able to get that production from Brock Osweiler and Le'Veon Bell. Both teams will need to re-assess rosters and should be more competitive now that they understand the league and how it works.
If this game were a JCVD movie it would be: Hard Target
#10 Perrins vs. #9 The Commish
Projection: The Commish 102- Perrins 87
Actual: The Commish 133-Perrins 85
Whoa. This team, finally showed it's true colors.. too bad for the commish all the season was gone before they finally busted out. Wilson 17, Polk 20, Gannaway FIFTY-FOUR, Hopkins 16, Costanzo 11. Perrins also got a 54 spot from Gino Smith, Fuller had 17 and then the next highest? Iowa defense with 5. Seriously. The good news for The Commish is Wilson, Hopkins and Costanzo are back. The bad news? Gannaway was a senior and Polk declared. Neat. Another lame finish in the middle of the pack. Perrins? He's garbage.
