Simulation Football League Final Standings

The historic Simulation Football League regular season is history.  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 playoffs are set.  The 2009 Broncos, champions of the Boise State Division, will play USC, which clinched the #2 seed in the Championship Division with a victory over LSU this afternoon.  Meanwhile, Miami of Florida, which lost its only game of the season today to Alabama, will face the 2010 Boise State team.
