Upsets and thrills defined the Retro Division:

- Semifinals: Experience triumphed as Ezra, Gregg, Adam, and Fargo led Interceptorz past Every Other (Shak, Taoheed, etc.). Imaan took down a Niners team that seemed like they weren’t prepared to play that day in an ugly game. Isa made the biggest plays of the day in a defensive showdown.
Get ready for the Retro Division finals!
Who will claim the Chips
PPF(1) vs. Caliphs(3):
The finals matchup doesn't come as much of a surprise as these are the two most talented teams. PPF led by Sims, Amneet, Phil, and Miguel have won every game this season and look to become the fourth unbeaten champion in CFL history. This team plays a man to man defense that makes them very unique but has been very effective. They have continously been a very tough team to score on. On the offensive side of the ball Sims has been precise. He consistently makes the right decision and puts his team in position to succeed. On the other side the Caliphs are looking to defend their title. AZ has put together a dangerous team filled with talent across the board. CFL veterans in Safwan, ZQ, Talha, and Q were part of the nucleus but reinforcements like Shane, Will, Taevon, and Brian have made this a team to be reckoned with. It's hard to deny the talent of either team but the turnover battle may determine the outcome of this game. In a game of slim margins our experts predict Sims will make the least mistakes propelling PPF to the CFL cup as the new champions.
PPF 27- Caliphs 21
Imaan (3) vs Interceptors (4):
Imaan is the surprise of the two finalists. They started poorly but got things sorted out. QB was an area of concern but Umair has stepped up, played well and avoided crucial mistakes. The talented youngsters in Isa And Ridwan have been a dangerous duo creating favorable matchups on the perimeter. Omar was slated to be the QB but due to injuries and circumstances he has become a solid offensive addition at wr. On the other side the Interceptors have been the best team for most of the season. Ezra has been the best QB in retro and has consistently found his talented offensive players. Between Greg, Sal, Fahad, Todd, Adam, and even Fargo scoring some points this squad has been dominant. Can't forget the legendary Brother Amin who can always be counted on for a clutch play. The Interceptors have every element of talent needed to win the big games, size, speed, and experience. Imaan has consistently shut up the critics with a 2nd half surge but will it be enough? Can the veteran leadership of Faiq and Pulak deliver one more upset? Will Fargo finally lift the CFL trophy? So many storylines within one game, but we expect this to be a game that favors the Interceptors.
Interceptors 41- Imaan 34
