Wow, outta the park! Dang. Attaboy.

Also note Western Michigan with 7 votes. I’m guessing they had zero last week, prove me wrong.

The Ref's are Cheatigan's 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th and19th man counting the guy in the replay booth when a play is under review. So Cheatigan has 19 players on O and 19 on D on any given play.
