Awards and notable teams of the week.
Strongest Living Team: Entry 102658 is still in the lead, averaging 205.9, but the lead has shrunk to a bit under 4 points.
Strongest Dead Team: As documented in this thread, Entry 114139 was a top-3 team until getting eliminated this week. They're still the 35th-best scoring team overall.
Keep Your Day Job Award: Wow. Entry 104264 came out of nowhere over the last 3 weeks to take a big lead here. Their pathetic 57.25 this week drops their season average to 81.0, a full 3.5 points better than the previous "leader", Entry 108654.
Safest Team: We have a new leader here too. And in fact, the new leader is the Strongest Living Team. Entry 102658 has cleared the cutline by at least 47 points every week.
Just Skating By Award: Well, so much for the battle we had here. Entry 110829, who had a very slim lead last week, is now pretty comfortably ahead in this category. This team has cleared the cutline by a cumulative 100.1 points, or just over 11 per week. The team that was right on his tail last week, 1rebmun, collapsed this week, scoring in the 70s on his way to elimination.
Icarus Award: No surprise here. The Strongest Dead Team, Entry 114139, was 3rd overall before being eliminated this week.
Woulda Coulda Shoulda Award: See Icarus Award.
Steady Eddie Award: Brede, Entry 100143, is the living team with the lowest standard deviation, at 7.05. This team has scored between 155.9 and 176.5 every single week.
Bipolar Award: cunning runts (Entry 103043) is the living team with the highest standard deviation, at 46.9. They scored in the 150s three times, but their last two weeks, 290 and 243, have propelled them into the lead here.
Notable Teams:
QBs: FightinIrish (Entry 101575) is the only one of the 47 teams with 7 or more QBs (FightinIrish has exactly 7) to survive, and it's been that way for a couple weeks now.
RBs: We lost another 12-RB team, bringing us down to the final one, Flying Hogs (Entry 104671).
WRs: No change here. 18 teams started with 12 WRs. Three are still alive.
TEs: And no change here. Two teams with 7 TEs survive, Entry 108153 and Patsrule (Entry 106386).
PKs: An easy week for 12-kicker guy (Entry 111066), praise be!
DEFs: All the 7-D teams are dead. There is one living 6-D team, Entry 000001 (that's the team's name, it's really Entry 108423).
