So many new faces at the top of the TPOY after one week. Some of the usual suspects in there, but we’re led by comeonman, joeyengland98 and williamsz93. I fully expect a lot of moving and shaking here in the next few months. Now is the time to hit your score and live in infamy on the TPOY, or at least for a week!

What an exciting finish to the King of the Campus! The Tre Mason desperation play at the end of the BCS title game gave hpharri1994 just enough points to take down the 1st place prize. With such an exciting season, it was great to see the final contest live up to the whole year.

To congratulate our winner for the season, lets bring in WRU favorite, Allison Brie.
Alison-Brie-GIF-040
Allison says congrats Maxdalury!

Also, big shout-outs to our Grinders Live CFB experts, stlcardinals84, db730, headchopper and Emac, who all finished in the Top 15. The absolute best CFB analysis comes from RotoGrinders and these guys. If this doesn’t show you that you need to be listening to them, and playing CFB next year, then I don’t know what will convince you.
