Full disclosure, this has nothing to do with the admissions cycle, but why does everything need to be about getting in??? For a little office banter, we started a Bendetson Fantasy Football League three years ago and I’m now the commissioner… i.e. I have all the power [maniacal laugh]! So on the eve of the playoffs starting, I figured I would share some of our results and a little snapshot of future happenings.
We have 14 teams in our league, which includes 12 admissions officers and two former colleagues. With the amount of teams the waiver wire is sparse and the past weekend’s matchups are always a topic of conversation at lunch or at the water fountains. On any given Monday Lee Coffin, Emily Roper-Doten, Walker Coppedge, Matt Wittman, or Karen Richardson will pop their head into the boy’s office in the California Corner and talk about the high or low scoring performance of our team or one specific player over the weekend. With Karen in mind, Russell Wilson changed her playoff picture with his performance on Monday Night Football this week and will go down as the trade of the season in our league (Russell Wilson and CJ Spiller for Marshawn Lynch). Anyway, below is the playoff picture and a snapshot of the teams. The playoffs are setup similar to the NFL playoffs with the top two teams having a bye the first week.
