Clearly, I did 10-7th already but blogger decided they weren't important to keep around. I think they were a tad too good and that's why they got the bump, so, I'll just have to re-do the early previews.
And 10th place belongs to the potential guy that doesn't even exist; nobody in the league knows him except Brian. Could Joe be Brian's split personality? Judging by the fact that they are similar in terms of team failure, I'd say that's a possibility. Until somebody outside of Brian meets Joe; we're going with Brian's split personality, "Joe" is in 10th place.
Joe's squad reminds me of The Titanic. You know, supposed blockbuster that instead wears you down and puts you to sleep? There is the one famous scene.. the part where Leo is on the front of the Titanic acting all cool..(like Joe's monster week followed by voting himself #1). The rest? Huh? There is more?
Joe's team, in fact, is kind of like that.. he has Michael Floyd. And... and... Well, Michael Floyd may not even play since he thinks drinking and driving is acceptable despite being told otherwise, multiple times. He has Scheelhause at the QB, a potential dual threat that can't really throw. He has holes at RB all over the place and a few WR from FSU with a QB that may not be able to throw and a clown from Duke. Awesome.
Like the big boat... this team is going down.
Best Player: Michael Floyd

Team Review: 6th Place "Minnesota State"
6-8. 108 points per game.
Nobody takes more time looking at their roster or analyzing Notre Dame's to find the next QB than Brian does. He puts a lot of work in, but doesn't get much out of it. It's fitting that the Vikings are his NFL team, he likes the Twins but doesn't have the player development they have. Dayne Crist is going to be around a few years, so he may not draft the next Notre Dame QB until the next draft. In fact, while watching this clip.. Brian gets tears in his eyes.
What Went Right: 2 2-game winning streaks including one to end the season. He went over 140 points 3 times, a solid feat over the season with up and down play from the QB position. He might have had the deepest RB mix in the season with Quizz Rodgers, Trent Richardson, Adam Robinson, Edwin Baker.. Michael Dyer didn't even see the field for him. Juron Criner can also catch the ball with the best of 'em.
What Went Wrong: Dayne Crist/Michael Floyd's injuries (even with a healthy Crist he wouldn't have put up the same numbers.. without a healthy Crist? Uck). BJ Daniels took a step backward this year after a promising freshman campaign. The WR's were up and down behind Criner with nobody stepping up as the for sure number 2.
What the Boosters are saying: "He's invested time and relationships for this league. Brian is a great guy; we haven't had character or law problems... for the most part. We have talent returning, next year is the year."
Hitting 6 wins up in Minnesota? I can just about guarantee that there was a soda celebration in the locker room after the bowl game to celebrate this amazing feat. What will be in store for next year? You can find that out when I do a pre-draft team preview!

Team Review: 9th Place "Smokin' Joe"
5-9. 103 points per game.
We all know the story, one time Joe put up what was then a record week and voted himself number 1 based on his blow-up. Since then, Joe has struggled to put together huge seasons and last year was no different, which was surprising to a few members of the league. In fact, I thought Joe had the potential to be a league favorite, and I expected big things out of Jake Locker, Michael Floyd, and Alexander Robinson.
What went right: He hit 148 and 149 early in the season and I thought he was going to roll the rest of the way, but soon after he hit a 5-game losing streak where he didn't reach 100. Joe ended the year winning 2 straight, including his bowl game and will look to carry that into next year. He had a little used QB in Nathan Scheelhause that may run more this year without Mikel LeShoure getting 400 touches a game.
What went wrong: Jake Locker still can't throw a ball straight. Michael Floyd decided 3 games was enough on the year (averaged 48 FOURTY-EIGHT per game in the 3 he played) and he also decided drinking was more fun. The North Carolina D (the only one in town) suspended 11/11ths or so of it's starting unit and averaged 3 ppg when Joe started them. Ouch.
What the boosters are saying: "We're happy with Joe, he's had a few off-field problems that need to get cleaned up, but we've all seen his potential. I'll keep pouring my money to the program as long as this guy is running the show."
