Week 11 Simulated Football League Standings

We are now down to just one week left in the Simulation Football League.  WhatIf Sports allows you to match up teams from different years or different eras.  Unfortunately, the college football section only allows you to go back to 1996 but it suits this purpose.


The object was to look at the last 10 years and determine two things:  1)  How good, really, is Boise State and 2)  Who is the best college football team in the last 10 years?  There have been several interesting results along the way.  Several Boise State teams that you wouldn't think of have defeated the so-called "national champions", many in the same year that that "national champion" was annointed.  


In this format set up by WhatIf Sports, the 10 Bronco teams are in the Boise State Division while the 10 "national championship" teams are in the Championship Division.  The schedule corresponded to a regular season in college football, with nine games against teams in your division and three games at random against teams from the other division.    At the conclusion of next week's games, the top two teams in each division will enter the SFL Playoffs.


The 2009 Boise State team and the 2001 Miami of Florida team have clinched regular season titles and will meet the #2 team in the opposite division in the opening round of the playoffs in two weeks.  The fight now, then, is for #2.  In the Boise State division, the 2006 and 2010 teams are still in the hunt while the 2004 USC team and the 2005 Texas team are battling for the other playoff spot.


Here are the Standings headed into the final week of the regular season.
