Bottom Half: Write about why two of the four teams were not able to make the playoffs. Can be completed at any point

The Yellowknife Wraiths missed the playoffs in the National Simulation Football League for the first time in their teams history. Despite having a roster stacked with talent the team could not come together and gel as a singular unit. The offense looks like it should be one of the best in the entire league led by superstars at every skill position. Chris Orosz is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Simulation Football League, and he has targets at the top of their positions in wide receivers Josh Garden and Bailey Cook. In the backfield is S1 MVP Bubba Nuck and on the offense line is two of the best in the game in Jogn Floggity and Mat Akselsen. For whatever reason the team could not come together and make it work during S3.

The Las Vegas Legion were not anyone's pick to make the National Simulation Football League playoffs. The team is still building slowly from expansion and is still working towards contending in the league. They have some solid pieces to build around and time will tell how they can put those pieces to good use. Until we see true improvement from the Las Vegas Legion there won't be too much debate about their playoff chances.

Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about

NSFC Championship game
Philadelphia Liberty vs Baltimore Hawks
My choice for most valuable player in this game in none other than Baltimore Hawks wide receiver Trey Willie. The young play maker put the offense of the Baltimore hawks on his back and carried them into the Ultimus championship. Trey Willie had 5 catches for 117 yards and 3 touchdowns in the game, all leading his team in each statistical category. Scrub Kyubee knew that when he needed a big play he could turn to Trey Willie and the wide receiver would make the play. When they got near the red zone it was more of the same, Scrub Kyubee looking for Trey Willie. The Kyubee to Willie connection was the main focus of the Baltimore Hawks aerial attack all season and the team leaned hard on it in this game. The fantasy stock of Trey Willie will surely be on the rise with such a huge game in a big spot. It will be very interesting to see how the young wide receiver can use this success as a jumping board into next season. One can predict that the Baltimore Hawks will be a strong team yet again that runs through running back Darlane Farlane, but things may change a little for next season if Trey Willie continues to be a top notch wide receiver.

Hate the player or the game: Tell us which team made the playoffs and shouldn't have, or which team didn't and should have? (Can be completed at any point)

The Yellowknife Wraiths missed the playoffs after a very disappointing season that came with many high hopes. The team has all the talent in the world but just could not put it together on the field enough times to earn a playoff spot. Some games the offense was on fire but then the defense would collapse and they would lose a shootout. Other games the defense would stand on it's head and the offense couldn't muster anything at all. These inconsistencies combined with a couple game plan problems were all it took to de-rail this would be playoff team and set them on a course for the golf course. Fans can only hope that heading into next season the Yellowknife Wraiths can find some balance and consistency within their team and can be the powerhouse that they are fully capable of being. The team is loaded with talent and even if they lose star wide receiver, Josh Garden to free agency they should still be a team that can compete for the NSFC title at the very least. The goal for the team is, and always will be the Ultimus Trophy, but after a lackluster S3 the team needs to make it to the playoffs before they can make it to the big dance and have a chance at the glory that is the Ultimus Trophy.
