I don’t have the stats to prove it, but this year’s playoff pool was the closest finish in memory. Usually the winner is obvious by the second round of the playoffs. This year 5 teams finished within 7 points of the winner. Ultimately Scott’s unabashed homerism paid off with a 3.8 point win over Shane, which wasn’t secured until some point in the middle of the 4th quarter. Scott’s SOQ franchise grossed about $763.56 with the win after finishing 11th overall in 2011. SOQ holds the 6th overall pick in the 2012 rookie draft.
