Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else. Can be completed at any point
The Colorado Yeti robbed the Yellowknife Wraiths of a spot in the playoffs to defend their title. A single game separated the two at the end of the season, with the Yeti going 8-6 and the Wraiths barely missing the playoffs at 7-7. The Yeti did it by getting an unlikely win against the perennial playoff team the Orange County Otters. The Yeti couldn't even manage a positive point differential, entering the playoffs with 333 points scored and 347 points scored against.
Meanwhile, the Wraiths outscored their opponents on the season by 64 points, but through some really tough luck, managed to lose a couple winnable games. A loss in Yellowknife to the Outlaws early in the season was especially tough, as the Outlaws managed to barely squeak out a win in Week 14 against fellow Toilet Bowl contender San Jose Sabercats. That win was enough to stop the Outlaws from obtaining the first overall pick in the upcoming draft.
The Wraiths seem poised for mediocrity for the next few seasons while they try to re-tool their team after heavy regression hit much of their starting lineup. The Yeti made their first playoff showing in seemingly forever, and will likely take over the Wraiths locked-down playoff spot from the last several seasons.
The Yeti robbed the Wraiths of their last shot at the playoffs for a few seasons.

Borkus Maximus III was easily the MVP of the ASFC Conference Finals against the Orange County Otters. The New Orleans Second Line have been known to rely on star running back Darren Smallwood for much of their scoring chances during the regular season. The Otters were prepared for that coming into the matchup, as the Otters managed to keep Smallwood to a rushing average of only 3.3 yards over 41 attempts. They also managed to keep Smallwood away from the endzone as often has he usually gets there. Smallwood lead the league in touchdowns this year, but only managed one against the Otters after being handed the brick at the 1 yard line.
Borkus Maximus III put the team on his back to carry the Second Line to a resounding victory. Even running Nickle for most of the time, Maximus put on a clinic, always seeming to find the open man for a first down and not letting drives stall.
Maximus was rewarded with 344 yards through the air to the tune of FOUR touchdowns! His 112.9 passer rating in the game was one of the strongest QB games ever in the history of the NSFL for the playoffs. This man went out and made it look easy.

NSFC Conference Championship:
at 
The Colorado Yeti made the playoffs for the first time since season two, and made a trip to Baltimore to face the Hawks. The Hawks boasted the second-best record in the league, and for good reason. Avon Blocksdale has looked steady and ready all season, leading the Hawks to a strong 233 point differential, while the Yeti managed to somehow win games with a -14 point differential.
Anyway, everyone expected Baltimore to run away with this game, but the Yeti came close. Colorado came within 3 points of the lead with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but Blocksdale was able to sustain the drive and eat up the clock, culminating in a field goal to extend the lead to 6 with no time left.
ASFC Conference Championship:
at 
The Orange County Otters made the tough trip to New Orleans to face off against the league-leading Second Line. In an uphill battle, the Otters looked simply outmatched. Future Hall of Fame QB Mike Boss couldn't avoid the pass rush and the offense stalled far too many times. Borkus Maximus III made it look easy, amassing 344 yards and 4 TDs in a 39-21 blowout.
Ultimus Championship: @
The Second Line managed to earn homefield advantage and used it to complete the dream of becoming league champions. Much like the Otters, the Hawks couldn't finish drives and walk away with points, while the Second Line walked (passed) it up and down the field to great avail. The Second Line looked untouchable in the playoffs, and it was a glimpse into why they achieved the best record in the league and set the league record for point differential. The Hawks and Otters were lucky to lose these playoff games by as little as they did (and they weren't even close).

The Hawks left Baltimore to make the trip to New Orleans and take on the Second Line for a chance at their first Ultimus victory. Neither team had won it all previously, and they made a game of it.
The two teams were first and second in the league for record, with New Orleans edging out the Hawks for homefield advantage by a single game difference. NOLA finished 12-2, while Baltimore finished 11-3. Both teams ended with great point differentials, showing the strength each team had on both sides of the ball. This game looked like it would be a treat to watch.
The Hawks received the initial kickoff, and took it down the field slow and steady to score the games first touchdown. NOLA struck back, earning a safety on a sack of Blocksdale. The Hawks then added to their lead with another touchdown in the 2nd quarter after another long drive.
Finally, New Orleans lit it up with a big gain on a pass to Evans that let the NOLA offense put some on the board for the first time of the night. After that, they never looked back, scoring a touchdown on their next possession and continuing rolling, adding a field goal before the half.
The Hawks came back in the 3rd and re-took the lead before NOLA got their offense rolling for good. The Second Line put up 18 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to put the game away and secure the first Ultimus Victory for NOLA.
