Over the last 4 seasons the eventual champion has a record of 7-1 against Alec Martinson. Which is by far the most dicked on coach by the soon to be crowned winners. Now when will you have a chance to keep the trend going by beating coach Martinson this year? We don't know because FTC hasn't released the schedule.

Can we predict the 2025 SFFFL champion?

Looking back at the past 5 seasons there is a trend. 4 of the previous 5 champions finished ~.500 the season prior (8-6 x 2, 6-7, and 7-6) as well as finished middle of the pack for points scored (5thx2, 6th and 7th)

The outlier is FTC who went 2-12 and had the 11th ranked offense the year before he won it.

So if this trend continues which coaches does this put at the top of the contender list for the 2025 season?

Nick Mohs fits the mold after going 8-6 with the 5th best offense last year.

You can also make a case for Matt Krouse who went 6-8 and had the 7th best offense last year.

And as much as it pains me to say it FTC matches up perfectly after being 7-7 and finishing with the 6th best performing offense.

Current draft trends (last 3 years)

Running Backs:

2022 saw the most drafted in the first 2 rounds at 15 total. It took a large dip the following year in 2023 with only 9 taken and 7 of those 9 going in the first round. Last season 11 of the first 24 picks were RBs. 2024 - 5 first round and 6 second round 2023 - 7 first round and 2 second round 2022 - 8 first round and 7 second round



Wide Receivers:

We all hated the position in 2022 only drafting 8 total in the first 2 rounds. But the past 2 seasons have seen back to back years of 13 WRs going early. 2024 - 7 first round and 6 second round 2023 - 5 first round and 8 second round 2022 - 4 first round and 4 second round



Tight Ends:

We have not had a first round TE drafted in the past 3 years. In 2023 there were 2 drafted in the second round and in 2022 there was 1 drafted in the second.



Quarter Backs:

No QBs have been drafted in the top 2 rounds the past 3 years.
