Esquire has named Kate Beckinsale the sexiest woman alive. That’s a fairly lofty title, and I’m not sure she’d be my choice, but I’d let her interview for the job.

Championship Result

• #3 seeded Tappa Kegga Day beat #8 seed SIAP, 79.09 – 78.17. SIAP set the perfect lineup, but their second highest scoring player was their backup QB and they received subpar performances from several players who had helped them get to this point. Brandon Jabobs’ injury didn’t help either. TKD was led by Marques Colston and Jason Campbell, and was able to pull off the win despite leaving a bunch of points on the bench. The all-time series between these two clubs is now tied at 8 wins each, but TKD holds a 2-0 advantage in the postseason (both championship games), which is where it really counts. This is also the first time since 1998 that the winning team didn’t score 80 points. SIAP is now 12-6 in the postseason, including 2-2 in championship games. Similarly, TKD is 11-5 in the playoffs and an identical 2-2 in championships.

Championship Record Watch

• With a 0.92 point victory margin, this was the closest Super Bowl in league history. It’s worth noting that the 6 closest championships have occurred in the last 6 years, and this is the 3rd time in 4 years that the big game was decided by fewer than 2 points.
• Matt Schaub’s 27.4 point performance is the 3rd highest individual player performance in a Super Bowl in the player stats era (2004-present)
• The combined point total of 157.26 makes this the fourth lowest scoring championship game ever.
• SIAP’s 78.17 and TKD’s 79.09 are the 9th and 10th lowest point totals in championship history, respectively.
• TKD now has 11 postseason wins, one behind SIAP’s record 12.
• TKD’s .688 playoff winning percentage is 4th best overall and tops among active teams. SIAP is right behind, at .667.
• TKD joins SIAP and The Hip as the only three franchises in PFFL history to win two championships. And yeah… those three teams have won half of the 12 championships to-date.
• TKD won its 100th overall (regular season + playoffs) this week and is the third team to do so.

Toilet Bowl Result

• The Jedi Masters captured their first ever Toilet Bowl championship, beating The Hip.

Franchise Ratings

View the Franchise Ratings

• Only twice before had a team reached a perfect 100.0 (the max) on the franchise rating scale. SIAP was the first to hit the mark following their championship season in 2004 and The Jedi Masters hit the mark last year. Well, four teams are rated perfectly today. TKD’s championship run, Post Mortem’s winning season, The Jedi Masters’ high points mark and SIAP’s second place finish (combined with their strong ratings to-date) rank all four as the most valuable franchises in the league.
• DDT surpassed Double D as the fifth most highly rated team in the league — both are four star franchises
• SaaBB’s division championship added a full star to their rating, while The Hip basically held steady and Winning Beer Money lost a half star.
• Hedfullalicker had a great season and is certainly a team on the upswing value-wise, but their lack of playoff success has them right in the middle with 2.5 stars.
• Turd Ferguson and Kramerica Industries both gained a half star, giving their stockholders reason to be optomistic.
• At the bottom, Camel Toe and CSPJ both achieved the lowest possible scores and are zero-star franchises.

In a result that seems only fair given their sheer dominance over all opponents this year and the PFFL record books, The Jedi Masters are the 2007 PFFL Super Bowl champions. Congratulations are definitely in order for Joel and Allen, who put together the strongest, deepest roster in the league.

Some Notes on the Super Bowl:

• The Jedis beat Kramerica twice this season (weeks 6 and 17), and now enjoy a 6-3 all-time advantage.
• Kramerica scored the 7th fewest points (74.77) of any team ever in a Super Bowl. The lowest? TKD’s 50 point day in 1997.
• The 167.88 combined points makes this the 8th highest scoring (or 4th lowest scoring) Super Bowl in PFFL history.
• The 18.34 point victory margin means this was the 5th closest Super Bowl game.
• Limited since it covers only 2004-2007, but still interesting: Carson Palmer’s 28.8 points and Drew Brees’ 25 points are the 2nd and 4th most points scored by a single player in a Super Bowl game.
• The Jedis are now tied with three other teams in second place on the list of most postseason wins with 8.
• The streak of teams who lose their first Super Bowl winning when they get a second shot continues to hold true. This is excellent news for DDT, Hedfullalicker, Kramerica, Post Mortem, SaaBB and Turd Ferguson — who are all 0-1 in championship appearances.

Toilet Bowl

• The Hip defeated Hedfullalicker, 72.85 – 58.98, in the Toilet Bowl.
• This is The Hip’s first Toilet Bowl title, and they are the fourth different team to win this exclusive prize (no prize) in the four years of its existence.

Franchise Ratings!

Per the franchise rating system setup, the ratings have been updated now that the season has concluded. The full list can be viewed here.

4-5 star teams

• The Jedi Masters improved from a 3.5 star rating to a perfect 5-star rating with their record setting season.
• SIAP’s division title also increased their franchise value back to the 5-star level.
• Post Mortem holds steady as a 4.5 star club.
• Double D rebounded from their Dominack Davis debacle of a year ago to jump back to 4.5 star range (from 3.5).
• Tappa Kegga Day’s wild card appearance was enough for them to add a half-star up to 4.5.
• DDT held steady at 4 stars.

2-3.5 star teams

• The Hip’s struggles continue, as this once proud franchise dropped from a 4-star rating to 3.5
• Winning Beer Money continued to gradually build their franchise rating back up — gaining a half star to 3.5
• SaaBB improved from 2 to 2.5, and likely would have made a bigger jump had they won their division
• Hedfullalicker dropped from a 2.5 rating to 2 stars

0 – 1.5 star teams

• Turd Ferguson’s pitiful year dropped them a full star from 2.5 to 1.5
• Kramerica was the lowest rated team in the league entering the season, but their division title and Super Bowl appearance has injected some value into their team, although only to the half star level (it should be noted that they are the highest valued of the 0.5 star teams, however)
• Camel Toe dropped from a 1 to 0.5 stars in their second PFFL season (all teams enter the league as 1 star teams)
• CSPJ remained steady a half a star, but is now technically the lowest valued team in the league.

Post-Season Party

Don’t forget that we’re celebrating the season with a playoff-watching party on Jan 5. You should’ve received an eVite link with more info. Division assignments for 2008 and the first round draft spot selection order will be determined during that party. Also, beer will be drunk.

French Supermodel Jennifer Lamiraqui congratulates The Jedi Masters on their championship and wishes you and yours a very happy new year!
