After a tumultuous season, conference championship weekend has finally arrived. Last week's picks were a bit of a mixed bag.

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings - NCAA Top 10 (9/4/18)

Conventional wisdom suggests that you don't learn much from the opening weeks of college football season. Heck, we've probably said as much ourselves in this very space. And at cocktail parties. (Don't worry. We always leave early.) However, the truth is you can gauge a lot by how the top teams perform against their--usually--lesser opponents […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/9/18)

A conventional top 10--after last night's epic Championship Game--would be the essence of anti-climactic. We all know which team reigns supreme, and they wear crimson and white.

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/3/17)

They say timing is everything. It's also the key to comedy. So, while some of you may find it funny that we're bothering to do a top 10 two hours before the only rankings that matter--those of the BCS Selection Committee--are released, we don't care. Because we have our own thoughts as to the top teams--and […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/27/17)

We believe it was Churchill who once said, "Anything can happen in the Iron Bowl." Okay, it wasn't Churchill. He probably never heard of the Iron Bowl. Still, the old axiom is certainly true, and it is one that we here at Rotoballer College Football HQ nevertheless forgot. Again. With that in mind, here's our […]

Cupcakes and cream puffs. No, we're not planning our dessert for Thanksgiving Day, we're calling into question the rules--or lack thereof--that allow top teams in the FBS to schedule FCS teams, and other softies, toward the end of the season.
