Well, about a week late for the NCAA tournament (U C O N N UCONN UCONN UCONN!!)
But here it is, this is merely opinion and I dont think there are many other places where it could be suitable.

***Note: All you have to do to find upsets in the first round is look at the season by season of the 85 bears. Gerr is an EXPERT at losing in the first round


Number 5: Season 15 Cascade Surly Goats.

First Round: defeats Mississippi Mud Dogs 28-7
Second Round: defeats Lone Star Mercenaries 20-14
Conference Championship: Lost to Tombstone Outlaws 0-21

This ranks as number five on the list because at this time, the Goats were an up and coming team led by gruppo and mccollums (not so up and coming lol). The fact that they strung together an upset over the favored 3 seed Mud Dogs and the Lone Star Mercs (who had previously pulled an upset over the 2 seeded bears) only to lose to a legendary Outlaws team was a great run.

Number 4: Season 17 Loretto Panthers

First Round: Defeats PAIN NATION MIDGETS 52-21
Second Round: Defeats DIRTY INC. 35-31
Conference Championship: Lost to Cascade Surly Goats 10-73

I may be a bit biased here, but the Panthers run was an epic one. It was the first time ever that a 7 seed had made it to the conference championship, and they did it by defeating the 14-1-1 Pain Nation Midgets, considered an enormous upset. They followed by defeating the 3 seed DIRTY INC. . The loss to the goats was an embarrassing one, but to be honest, every loss that season was embarrassing to the goats.

Number 3: Season 18 Lunch Box

First Round: Defeats Chicago 85 Bears 91-24
Second Round: Defeats UT Pimps 73-7
Conference Championship: Lost to DIRTY Inc. 35-55

The reason I put this up here as one of the greatest runs is because of their unbelievable ability to score points in the games. They blew out the number 1 rated defense that season by torching them for 91 points. Then shutting down the highest powered offense that season in the Pimps and holding them to 7 points. The CC game was a large scandal that had Tomlinator's AI "Not work". Everybody knows that was bullshit though, and without Tomlinator not having his error, I think we would be looking at LB as the S18 champions.



Number 2: Season 19 Providence Nose Pickers

First Round: Defeats San Antonio Saviours 21-7
Second Round: Defeats Chicago 85 Bears 21-0
Conference Championship: Lost to Brigate Nere Italia 14-35


This has been the only time in the history of PW gold that an 8 seed defeated a 1 seed, not only did PNP do that, they also went on to defeat the 4th seeded bears in a shutout. They lost to BNI, the eventual champs, 35-14. There were many missed tackles in a sloppily played game by the nose pickers, but it still goes down as the second greatest run/upset in PW gold history.


Number 1: Season 19 Sons Of Anarchy

First Round: Defeats Sir Flumps A-Lot 31-3
Second Round: Defeats Fighting Gamecocks 35-21
Conference Championship: Defeats Crackertown Juniors 31-21
Championship: Lost to Brigate Nere Italia 7-14

This was by far the greatest run in PW gold history. They are the only team, and I believe will be the only team ever to defeat a 1, 2 and 3 seed in the playoffs. They knocked out the regular season gurus in SFAL in the first round, followed by the defending champs FGC. Then, against the Crackertown Juniors, against all odds, they pull the most memorable upset in PW gold history, defeating the undefeated Juniors. In a cinderalla filled final 4 (PNP, BNI, SOA) the juniors were by far the favorites to win the whole thing when it came down to that, the SOA stunned them and advaned to play BNI in the championship game. In a slamball sim, SOA decided to riskier and pass more than they should have, it eventually may have cost them the championship, but they rank as the number one "bracket-buster" in PW gold history.

I'm pretty sure that Dirty only won that game by 20 points.... there are 4 long touchdowns right there that come against Basic defenses.... aka defenses that get called when your a retard and don't delete inputs with no outputs in them.

Not to mention every other score they had was set up by plays against those basic defenses.

At least you give credit where credit is due, because without that mistake I am 100% certain tomlinator was bringing home the Gold.

Point was, I watched Bleeds build a team less than perfectly for exploiting a somewhat broken passing game the season before and troll all over everyone... so early that season me and Nif decided to hit it heavy, make 10 WRs, pass blocking linemen... and spam Pump Fake like everyone else....

What happened was a resulting unstoppable (can't say unstoppable because we did actually get held to 14 points in the AAT final game by MG) force of an offense that had nothing to do with scouting, or play calling, or anything but random chance says that 1/4 passes is going to get caught and if all your passes are deep.... WATCHA gonna do.

The only way to stop it was to 100% commit to the passing defense... which is something nobody ever tried besides MG in that AAT game... but it wasn't unstoppable (thus while obviously slants needed to be fixed and pumpfaking slightly nerfed.... the passing game in general didn't need to take the SLAMDAMNTHANKYOUMAM assraping that it took)

I do agree though that SOA was by far number 1, since I don't think a person in the world was expecting them to win even a single game in the playoffs... and were predicted to get blown out every game as far as the majority was concerned.

I think the Loretto run probably deserves the number 2 slot though cuz... I was friggin amazed by that since they hadn't even done very well in the regular season... PNP had at least played close games all season whether they had a low seed or not.

I disagree on number 2. Although an 8 seed beating a 1 seed is impressive, SAS was no/no and you were yes/yes...that means there's no way this qualifies as the second best upset of all time in PWG. Ed beat you 31-0 in regular season that time around.

Its the fact that an 8 seed beat a 1 seed then beat a 4 seed that makes me put it there...

yes/yes team beating a no/no team is an upset?








Must have been one bad ass no/no team.

But that 4 seed was the 85 bears, I wouldn't consider them the favorite in any playoff game, regardless of seeding.

I think Atlanta Apocolypse beating us 17-0 and then losing 26-0 in the championship Falls in the top 5 somewhere. So Lone Star should get the upset vote and this after no one was picking them to win. Also they boosted way early and everyone thought they shot their load too soon. (Season 11)

Thanks, I can live vicariously through our great run that season, haven't really tried since that loss and the sim changes encountered in the next season. Hopefully I will have us make a run back to the championship in PWG some day, but just not today Was def a wild playoff though with all of those upsets on both sides of the bracket and it was a great run by both championship teams.

These seem to be about runs instead of individual games. I would have to through in TP from last season. I know they were the lower seed and it was against the playoff snake bitten Bears, and it was an all RK team but a no/no beating a good yes/yes team in the second round was pretty impressive.......probably not a top five because of the issues listed above but worth an honorable mention......

I know how you feel exactly, I myself haven't spent enough effort deserving even a regular season win since that bitter loss to dirty, one I honestly had nothing to do with (I got kicked out of where I was living the day before that game), but still it stung so hard... and then when I did come back they had taken a dump all over my sim.

I would have to say PNM not winning the League Championship the last 5 seasons are the top 5 upsets, as we're clearly the best team EVAR!!!
