Championship Round Finale & Division Shield Ceremony
Just to keep the excitement and anticipation lasting a little bit longer, the final eleven results will have the Division Shield Ceremony placed in the middle.
- LSU at Florida 6
- Southern California 20 at UCLA
- App State at Georgia Southern
- Boise State at Wyoming
- Louisiana Tech at TCU
- Auburn at Mississippi State
In these first six games Chris would continue to look strong as he would go 5-1, and Juice would equal the points leader to also go 5-1. HoHo though, would lose the slightest bit of ground to go 4-2 meaning that with just five games left to tally the pressure on the home straight can really be felt now.
Championship Round | Wins | Losses | Differential |
Chris | 24 | 8 | 0 |
Juice | 23 | 9 | -1 |
HoHo Kimura | 22 | 10 | -2 |
Emotions are no doubt getting raised and MyP would actually have a massive slip going 3-3 in these particular games, whilst KIF would make a monster push going 5-1 to push themselves back into the lead and be within a fingers grasp of lifting the Copper Bowl.

Before we continue - we first will take a pause to recognise our overall Divisional Shield Winners. From Week Five we were introduced to Division Shields for the ACC, The Big 12, The SEC, C-USA and the AAC and with latter introduction in Week 8 of the No-Affiliation Conference and the Big Ten in which bonus points were awarded if we had a sole weekly winner who went 100%. Due to the nature of predictions, we had a number of weeks in which the Division Shields would be jointly held. Over the duration of the season, a tally has been taken and I can now reveal who is the standout Divisional Shield winners for each particular conference. (in the case of a tie - the person who has held the shield most individually will be awarded the accolade.)
The No-Affiliation Conference would be held twice HoHo and Blaze, and thrice by MyPrerogative but on final tally this Divisional Shield would be jointly won by both Chris and Juice four times. However - Juice would hold the title solo in Week 10 to break this tie.
Overall Winner: Juice
The Big 10 like the NAC would be a Week 8 introduction, but nonetheless prove to be a very competitive division shield to be battled for. HoHo and Blaze would both hold this shield once each, with Chris and Shania holding it twice, but on a final count of three both MyPrerogative and Juice would hold the shield three times. MyPrerogative would be the only one out of the pair to hold the shield individually on Week 8 to break this tie.
Overall Winner: My Prerogative
The SEC would prove be without a shadow of a doubt one of the closest to call division shields each and every week with Chris being the only outright winner of this shield which he would achieve in Week 6 with the shield being tied on every other occasion. In fitting style though Chris would hold the SEC a total of eight times - which after the doing the maths would be the most amount of weeks that anyone would hold any shield in the competition. HoHo would finish in 2nd with seven times, MyP six times, Juice five times and Shania and Blaze twice apiece.
Overall Winner: Chris
The Conference USA would be one of the shields that would be often plagued by game postponements and cancellations and often be tied. HoHo would be the only outright winner of this shield which they would achieve in Week 5. However, they are in fact not the overall winner having only held it five times jointly with Blaze, with Shania only holding it less two times. MyPrerogative, Chris and Juice find themselves all tied for holding this shield six times and become our first joint winner with no separation being possible.
Overall Winners: Chris, Juice & MyPrerogative
The AAC would be only held once by Blaze, with both Juice and MyPrerogative holding it three times. Strangely enough despite HoHo being the predictor to win the shield most individually doing so in Week 7 & 12 they would only managed to claim the shield four times with Shania meaning that having held it six times all in the form of ties, Chris wins the AAC to claim his third overall Divisional Shield for the season.
Overall Winner: Chris
The Big 12 would be another of the very close conference for predictions in our first season (hopefully we will run again next season) being held on a number of occasions by sole individuals. Blaze would only claim it once, Shania twice, MyPrerogative thrice and HoHo and Juice sharing the spoils four times but once again with five times to his name Chris would add another shield to his trophy cabinet.
Overall Winner: Chris
The final Division Shield is the ACC which would be the only shield to be held by two individuals on two difference occasions in sole shield victories with both Blaze and Chris holding it, with Blaze victories coming in weeks 6 & 12 and Chris' weeks 7 & 14. However, this isn't about single victories about overall accumulation. With the lowest amount of claims with once was Shania, followed by MyP with twice, Blaze and Juice thrice and HoHo having claimed it four times - leaving Chris as the final winner with the shield holding it on seven different occasions.
Overall Winner: Chris
Congratulations are in order to Chris who claims four Division Shields outright (ACC, Big-12, AAC & SEC) as well as sharing the C-USA with Juice and MyPrerogative.
With additional recognition to MyPrerogative for winning the Big-10 and Juice for winning the No-Affiliation Conference shields.
In the Round of Four we were all introduced to the Eastern and Western Conferences, which at the time neither Blaze or Shania were eligible for. However, the combined times all the shields have been held have now been tallied up Eastern Conference (AAC, ACC & SEC) and Western Conference (Big-10, Big-12 & C-USA) to crown our overall Conference Division Shield Winners.
With a clear lead, Chris becomes the Eastern Conference Division Shield Winner.
