Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/12/16)

With the college football regular season over, college hoops takes center stage from now until the meat of the bowl season. This is also the time of year when the conference schedules get into full swing and we begin to see how the top teams stack up against top competition. Will the freshmen who were […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/5/16)

We waited too long to jump on the Villanova bandwagon last season, and never heard the end of it. If nothing else, we learn from our mistakes. The Wildcats are hot, and there's no reason to not give them their due. How do the rest of the teams and players stack up? Here are our […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/5/16)

In all the talk this weekend about point spreads and margins of victory--with both being the key for some teams with BCS playoff hopes--it's worth reminding you, dear reader, that apparently it's okay to openly discuss wagering on college football, as long as it involves betting on the games, and not on individual player performance. […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/28/16)

Thanksgiving weekend doesn't make or break a college basketball season. It doesn't tell you which teams will be in the Final Four come March. But with all the neutral-site tournament games, and the odd out-of-conference road games for Power Five conference teams fulfilling scheduling contracts, you do learn which teams can handle pressure as well […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/28/16)

Ohio State presents college football with a very modern problem. The Buckeyes, at least if the Twitter-sphere is to be believed, will likely play for a national crown but won't play for a Big Ten championship, and have said they had no interest in playing for the conference title, preferring instead to rest a week longer […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/21/16)

If you played street ball as a kid, you know the expression, "No blood, no foul." Well, some of our preseason Top 10 teams already have blemishes to their records, but none of the critical variety--so no blood. And, thus, no foul. I mean, does Kansas losing to Indiana or Duke losing to Kansas mean […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/21/16)

If we could skip the second and third spots in our Top 10 and rank teams #1 and then #4 through #12--without you, dear readers, thinking we were sniffing too much glue--then by gum we would do it. That's how strongly we feel that only one team, Alabama, has proved on a consistent basis that […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/14/16)

If there's one lesson to be learned from the events of this past week, it's that we should not put a lot of credence into polls. And no, we're not talking about what happened on November 8. The tops of the BCS, the AP and the Coach's polls were all left in tatters after a […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/11/16)

At this time of year, we here at Rotoballer College Sports Headquarters like to think back to some of our favorite athletes, guys like Donovan McNabb (Syracuse) and Charlie Ward (Florida State), who successfully played the two biggest college sports at the highest level. Both would also go on to earn money for their athletic […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/7/16)

You don't have to be a history major to know that Ben Franklin once said: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." With all due respect to Franklin, we'd add one thing to his list: that Alabama, Clemson and Michigan are the top three college football teams in […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/31/16)

  It may be Halloween today but, for us, the real scary stuff happened on Saturday. That's because a few teams that had been the bedrock of our Top 10 rankings--and a few others who had been a gleam in our eyes--did the unthinkable and unforgivable... they lost. By the time Brian Hill (a borderline […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/24/16)

We still have a number of undefeated teams vying for top-four spots in the BCS rankings--meaning, one loss effectively ends a team's chances of lifting the only trophy that matters at the end. So, bye-bye Texas A&M, this week's biggest loser--even though there's no shame in losing at Tuscaloosa. And so long Ohio State (well, […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/17/16)

Here at Rotoballer World College Football Headquarters--a place that makes the typical NFL locker room look like the men's room at Penn Station--we've made a bold decision: We are declaring the season over. That's right, just seven weeks in, if nothing else the most recent slate of games has reinforced our belief that the BCS […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/10/16)

Something had to give. With two teams in our Top 10 last week (Tennessee and Texas A&M) and several others (Miami, Wisconsin) just on the outside looking in, we expected some changes. But Houston, a 17-point favorite coming in, losing in Annapolis? Nope. We didn't see that coming. Here are our CFB rankings after Week […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/3/16)

  Mid-term exams came early this fall for a number of the top football programs in the country. There were match-ups between high-ranked opponents--in the Big Ten, the SEC, the Pac-12 and the ACC--with some teams facing their first big tests of the still-young season. And, as with all exams, some passed, and some failed. […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/26/16)

The English majors among us will know the Charles Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cities. For us college football junkies, however, we suggest a more appropriate title: A Tale of Two Halves. Ole Miss had cornered the market for second-half collapses until Week 4, when the likes of Florida and Notre Dame joined them, […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/19/16)

  Comebacks and close calls were all the rage in Week 3, leading to some tumult in the Top 25 in college football. Only a few changes to our Top 10, though. Either we know how to pick 'em or we're just lucky. Below are our CFB rankings after Week 3, from our usual fantasy […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/12/16)

After Week 2 of the college football season, Central Michigan and Western Michigan both look like contenders for the BCS playoffs. Well, no, not really, but teams like the Chippewas (that’s Central Michigan, we think) have put college football’s elites—sometimes with the help of poor officiating—on notice: The meek shall inherit the earth. Or at […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (9/5/16)

The NCAA’s television partners trumpeted the week that was as the “greatest” opening weekend in the history of college football. In fact, the slate of games lived up to this over-hype, but not for the reasons originally intended. While pundits and pigskin propagandists waxed on (and on) about match-ups between the “Power Five” elites, programs […]


Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (8/22/16)

The 2016 NCAA College Football season starts in two weeks, and we can't wait for the games to begin. The third season of the BCS playoff system promises many twists and turns, with teams falling in and out of the four-team "tournament" spots. The so-called experts like the Alabama Crimson Tide to roll to yet […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (4/5/16)

Well, it's official. Villanova has made us look like idiots. We doubted the Wildcats all year--questioned the quality of the Big East--and what did they do? They only beat the three teams we ranked ahead of them for much of the season to take the national championship. Here are our final CBB rankings for the […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (3/28/16)

Let's be honest: Ranking the best college teams week in and week out is hardly an exact science. Sure, you can take into account won-loss records, strength of schedule and "quality wins," but the fact is almost any team in the upper echelon of Division I can beat any other on a given day, particularly […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (3/22/16)

The first two rounds of the NCAA tournament have not only laid waste to our office pool brackets, they've done a number on our Top 10 as well. Still, for regular readers, there will be some familiar teams on this list--particularly at the top. Here are our CBB rankings for the week of March 22, […]


CBB DFS Lineup Picks (3/19/16): Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice for FanDuel

Two days in and the "madness" of March is already in full effect. Several staples of daily fantasy rosters are gone--along with their teams, of course--but there are still plenty of great players to go around. So, how to choose? Without further delay, below are our favorite Daily Fantasy College Basketball picks for FanDuel DFS […]


CBB DFS Lineup Picks (3/15/16): Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice for FanDuel

Pickin's are slim tonight, given that the big postseason tournament doesn't get fully underway until later in the week. However, if you still want to be in the game, you'll need players to play, and the play-in games for the Big Dance and the NIT all provide some decent talent. Without further delay, below are […]


CBB DFS Lineup Picks (03/08/16): Daily Fantasy College Basketball  Advice for FanDuel

Everyone knows about March Madness, but only Daily Fantasy players know that this can be a difficult week for team selection, given the complexities of the conference tournament schedule. After all, Tuesday is a day for "play-in" games--contests in which lower-seeded teams fight it out for a sit at the big table--and not all of […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (3/7/16)

Spring is a time of renewal, a time to clear the air, recharge the batteries and clean out the closets. Or our Top 10 list. With Spring approaching, we've rearranged our Top 10 a bit, to prepare for the postseason. Here are our CBB rankings for the week of March 7, 2016 (won-loss records are […]


Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (3/1/16)

We've heard about March Madness, of course, but February Fantasies? How else to explain the tumult in our poll every week, which sees darlings turn to deadbeats almost daily? Okay, so we like change, in addition to alliteration. It keeps things interesting. Below are our CBB rankings for the week of March 1, 2016 (won-loss […]


FanDuel CBB DFS Lineup Picks (3/1/16): Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

March Madness starts now. It is the time when college basketball fans know to expect the unexpected-- in regular season finales, conference tournaments, and of course, the Big Dance. Daily fantasy CBB players though, generally don't like surprises--unless they work out in their favor. They want safe picks. So who are the most reliable FanDuel […]


CBB DFS Lineup Picks (02/23/16): FanDuel Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

Fantasy sports is a numbers game, of course, and on Tuesday we advise you to go with the numbers, or at least the players who put up big numbers for their teams. Several of these players will line up against struggling opponents--always a good sign for DFS gamers. And, most are consistent performers anyway, regardless […]
