Super Trifecta Bowl III Preparations
From the General Rules, Analysts may select new Home Teams for the World Football Analyst Championship (aka Super Trifecta Bowl):
The Super Trifecta Bowl follows rules similar to the regular season races. Analysts must own one of the 12 playoff teams as their steed. Analysts whose teams did not make the playoffs and those who wish to drop their playoff steed for a new team will select in order of regular season seeding, from worst to best. Seeding ties for new team selections will be determined by the ranking of Analysts in the Annual Award. As in the regular season, Analysts may not pick against their Home Teams.
New Home Team Selection Order
Five Analysts backed playoff-bound Home Teams to end the season and three saw their Home Teams fail to make the playoffs. According to the rules, the order of selection for new Home Teams is by current playoff seeding, worst to first.
For the Analysts without playoff teams (bold) and those who release teams, the order of selection is:
1. The Strategist (Rams, NFC 14th)
2. Atwork (Vikings, NFC 9th (tie), AoY 6th)
3. The Bookie (Ravens, AFC 9th (tie), AoY 5th)
4. B-Reezy (Lions, NFC 6th)
5. Big Tuna (Raiders, AFC 5th)
6. Kal Krome (Seahawks, NFC 3rd)
7. Wise Orangutan (Chiefs, AFC 2nd)
8. Little Tuna (Cowboys, NFC 1st)
The available Home Teams (before swaps) are:
1. Patriots (AFC 1st Seed)
2, Falcons (NFC 2nd Seed)
3. Steelers (AFC 3rd Seed)
4. Green Bay (NFC 4th Seed)
5. Texans (AFC 4th Seed)
6. Giants (NFC 5th Seed)
7. Dolphins (AFC 6th Seed)
For those with Home Teams in the playoffs, the decision to release a current Home Team should be sent to The Bookie by Wednesday.
Releases and New Home Team Selections
No Analysts with playoff teams release their steeds.
With the first pick for Super Trifecta Bowl III, The Strategist takes Pittsburgh. With the second pick, Atwork selects Atlanta. And, with the third pick, The Bookie betrays Chicago (Green Bay).
The Home Teams for the Super Trifecta Bowl are:
Surprisingly, none of the Analysts have the (dis)honor of sponsoring #1 Seed New England this year! May the best (and most ethical) Analyst win!
