The real Quince Bowl XII is being played this week between TenQ and BQP. It’s a joke that either SOQ or QBC will make a Quince Bowl appearance. Think about this. The third lowest scoring team is playing the fifth lowest scoring team for a Championship berth. It’s pathetic.<\/p>\n

There isn’t a single team in the final four this year that appeared in the final four last year.<\/p>\n

The North division is 75% of the final four.<\/p>\n

This is TenQ’s first final four since 2007, QBC’s since 2006, SOQ’s since 2004 and BQP’s since 2003. With a win in week 15, it would be SOQ’s first Quince Bowl appearance since 2004, TenQ’s since 2003 and QBC’s since 2001.<\/p>\n

BQP has never made a Quince Bowl and is the only hope to avoid another repeat Champion. Only FahQ, QU and BQP are without trophy (FahQ lost to FRNQ in QBVII). Quince and QUnet are the only repeat Champions in QFL Nation history.<\/p>\n

TenQ<\/strong> appeared in 4 of the first 5 Quince Bowls, winning once. That score (136) in Quince Bowl II is still #1 in QFL1 all-time scoring history despite repeated rule changes designed to increase scoring. Since 2003 however the team has struggled, only placing third twice in ’05 and ’07.<\/p>\n

TenQ was instrumental in handing the 2006 Championship to OrigQ via the Larry Johnson trade and may have done the same thing for SOQ<\/strong> in 2010 via the Peyton Hillis trade (but without the tears and bloodshed). It’s important to point out for the record that SOQ finished dead last in 2009. The team’s last Championship was Quince Bowl VI in 2004.<\/p>\n

Double C is a vocal proponent of a QBC<\/strong> team that is only relevant by default and hasn’t placed better than fourth since 2006 and that was a fluky year under the old rule system that allowed a 1-2 record in the playoffs to still come in 4th.<\/p>\n

This is BQP<\/strong> ‘s second playoff appearance in a row and can’t do worse than last year’s fifth place finish. How can any team with AP and Jones-Drew look so bad? Loser bracket teams should note BQP went 3-10 in 2006, but won out in the loser playoffs and drafted Adrian Peterson #1 overall in 2007. It doesn’t hurt the team drafted Jones-Drew #16 overall the previous year.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: The League<\/em> on FX is hilarious. Also. Hoping to publish a complete history of QFL regular season and playoff records and final standings back to 2001 (200o and 1999 are spotty) this week. There are also rookie draft picks and other good historic stats for a perusal.<\/p>\n

Email for a password if you want to post here. Comments are open too. I know there’s more about the loser bracket and Ted wants it on the record about how if he had not benchcd Floyd at the last minute before week 4 that he would be the North division Champion and #2 seed bye in the playoffs. Benching Floyd in week 14 was also a very bad idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
