Worst possible score: -135 pts

As is customary at the end of each season, let's take a look at how divisions stack up against each other.

This year's cream of the crop is the Cavalry division, with 2 teams going to the postseason and no team under .500. Congrats to all 4 Cavalry regiments who went from worst in 2007 to best in 2008!

This year's lowest of scums is the Great Lakes division. Booo!

Here are the rankings:
1. Cavalry 107 pts
2. Atlantic 60 pts
3. Ring of Fire 30 pts
4. Ring of Cold 27 pts
5. Yankee 26 pts
6. San Andreas -33 pts
7. Deep South -105 pts
8. Great Lakes -118 pts

Finally, a quick look at the strenght of schedules of each team.

Arizona had the most brutal schedule of all, playing no less than 9 games against playoff-bound teams. They also played only 2 games against teams with a losing record, which incidently, Arizona won. This probably explains at least in part their 3-13 record.

On the other hand, Albany had the easiest schedule of all.

[i7b2fa67]Note: Keep in mind, this strength of schedule is not a true SoS(ie based solely on won/loss record), but rather the sum of all FFF points scored by a team's opponents. While not completely accurate, I believe it gives a good enough overall picture.[/i7b2fa67]

Here's the table:
Team SOS
Arizona 391
Boston 228
Oregon 177
Las Vegas 167
Fargo 148
El Paso 147
Anchorage 145
Tampa Bay 133
Tucson 96
Seattle 89
Honolulu 71
Charleston 66
Baltimore 57
Santa Cruz 42
Durham 34
Atlantic City 33
Tulsa 29
Hartford 8
Denver -24
New York -32
Shreveport -89
Long Beach -98
New Orleans -106
San Antonio -116
Huntington Beach -128
Sacramento -139
Memphis -156
Cleveland -164
Boise -177
Detroit -196
Chicago -277
Albany -334

Thanks for another great season of fff rankings!

we're not last!

Arizona really did play a brutal schedule with 14 games against teams .500 or better and 9 games against playoff teams.

Wow. No wonder it seemed like such a tough season in Boston.

And one of those games robbed this playoff team of their first-ever division championship.

And a question for you: which playoff team had the toughest SOS? That's right, your Tucson Toros did. The fact that we persevered in the face of such difficult opposition is a testament to my mad make-believe football team management skillz.

I'm awesome.

So, with an SOS almost twice as tough as yours, does that make me awesomer? You know, considering it almost came down to the last game of the year...

I knew Albany was weak. If he did not beat me this year for the Delta State FOF championship, then he neever will. I hope we get to play next year.

Everyone knew I was weak. Look at my starting backfield after Mena went down for the year, heck include Mena I had nothing at RB. I too hope to battle for the Delta State crown again and soon.

*sigh*...

Glad to see this long, long year over...

Now let's see that draft class!
