I got a few e-mails last week after posting the Fantasy League Update. After complimenting me on my genius, they would all ask me the same question. "What the hell is up with that fantasy league?"
So, since there are some people out there who don't know how to use the labels or archives function on this blog, I'll be the gentleman that I am and make it easy for you.
Here's the original write up of my fantasy league. This was actually the post that got me back into blogging after a much needed hiatus.
Here's my explanation of why the conferences look the way they do.

3. Auburn 4-1 (3-1)
4. LSU 3-2 (3-1)
5. Kentucky 2-3 (1-3)
6. Mississippi St. 2-3 (0-3)
Notes - The Gators are still a perfect 5 for 5 within the Conference thanks to their win over Clemson. Georgia knocked off Arizona St., Auburn knocked off UCLA and Georgia Tech beat Nebraska to continue the SEC's dominance outside of conference play.
Big XII
North
1. Kansas 5-0 (4-0)
2. Missouri 4-1 (2-1)
3. Nebraska 3-2 (2-1)
4. Arkansas 1-4 (1-4)
5. Colorado 0-5 (0-2)
6. Kansas St. 0-5 (0-4)
South
1. Texas 5-0 (4-0)
2. Oklahoma St. 5-0 (3-0)
3. Oklahoma 3-2 (2-1)
4. TCU 3-2 (2-2)
5. Texas Tech 1-4 (1-3)
6. Texas A&M 1-4 (0-3)
Notes - Arkansas finally got their first win of the season. They took down a still winless Kansas St. team. Texas and Oklahoma St. are heading for an undefeated match-up in two weeks. OSU has an out of conference game vs. Tulsa before the game and Texas will play a winless Colorado team.
PAC-10
North
1. Oregon St. 4-1 (3-0)
2. Boise St. 4-1 (2-1)
3. Oregon 3-2 (3-1)
4. Washington 2-3 (2-1)
5. Stanford 2-3 (1-3)
6. Washington St. 0-5 (0-3)
South
1. California 4-1 (2-1)

3. UCLA 2-3 (2-1)
4. Arizona 2-3 (1-2)
5. Arizona St. 1-4 (1-2)
6. San Diego St. 0-5 (0-4)
Notes - San Diego St. continues to make their case for demotion out of the league next season. Cal's overall record keeps them ahead of USC in the standings. Washington St. is still Washington St.
Big Ten
East
1. Wisconsin 5-0 (3-0)
2. Ohio St. 4-1 (3-1)
3. Northwestern 3-2 (2-2)
4. Minnesota 3-2 (1-2)

3. Iowa 3-2 (2-2)
4. Michigan 3-2 (1-1)
5. Iowa St. 3-2 (1-2)
6. Michigan St. 2-3 (2-1)
Notes - You know I started this whole fantasy league to get some premiere match-ups in the post season. However, a Wisconsin v. Indiana Big Ten title game does not really interest me. That would be the title game for this conference if the season ended now. Who would have thought the West would have been the better division when the season started?
ACC
Atlantic
1. Virginia Tech 5-0 (4-0)
2. Miami 3-2 (3-1)
3. Virginia 1-4 (1-2)
4. North Carolina St. 1-4 (1-3)

3. Wake Forest 2-3 (2-2)
4. Florida St. 2-3 (2-3)
5. Duke 1-4 (1-1)
6. Maryland 1-4 (1-3)
Notes - The ACC is a horrible conference. In particular, the Atlantic division just may be the worst group of teams in this entire league. Virginia Tech is pretty much set to play in the title game. It seems their opponent is going to come down to the two newbies, USF and ECU.

Some of the highlights of week 1:
Some games from week 1 were actually played out in real life. Missouri beat Illinois, Colorado St. beat Colorado and Miami took down Florida St. All just like their real counterparts.
Michigan St. pulled what was probably the biggest upset of week 1 by knocking off Ohio St. The loss puts the Buckeyes in a big hole in the conference. Also, Cal was able to knock off Oklahoma thanks to Sam Bradford's injury. Something tells me the Sooners are in a bit more trouble than their real life counterparts. There's no Idaho St. to be played in this league.
In the best match-up of the week, the Texas Longhorns defeated the LSU Tigers in Austin. The Burnt Orange Nation was a bit too much for Jordan Jefferson to overcome as the Longhorns pulled out the victory. The Tigers should be able to rebound nicely next week. They host Kentucky.

Some of the highlights of week 1:
Some games from week 1 were actually played out in real life. Missouri beat Illinois, Colorado St. beat Colorado and Miami took down Florida St. All just like their real counterparts.
Michigan St. pulled what was probably the biggest upset of week 1 by knocking off Ohio St. The loss puts the Buckeyes in a big hole in the conference. Also, Cal was able to knock off Oklahoma thanks to Sam Bradford's injury. Something tells me the Sooners are in a bit more trouble than their real life counterparts. There's no Idaho St. to be played in this league.
In the best match-up of the week, the Texas Longhorns defeated the LSU Tigers in Austin. The Burnt Orange Nation was a bit too much for Jordan Jefferson to overcome as the Longhorns pulled out the victory. The Tigers should be able to rebound nicely next week. They host Kentucky.

Week 1 Preview
The college football season is so close. And it's not a moment too soon. If I have to watch another replay on CBS Sports or ESPNU or ESPN Classic or any other channel that has been running college football replays for the past 2 months, I might just go crazy. I can close my eyes and give you the play by play of the Air Force v. Wyoming game from last season. That's never a good thing.
Here's a little preview of week 1 to satisfy your college football craving until Thursday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Games to Watch
Here are 5 games that everyone must see this week. I don't care if you have to order these on pay per view or head to your local watering hole. Just make sure you're either in front of the TV or in the stands at one of these games.
1. Georgia @ Oklahoma St. - The two power conferences will be represented in this game. Georgia returns a ton of players from last year's 10 win squad. Unfortunately for the Dawgs, none of those players are named Knowshon Moreno or Matthew Stafford. This game will go a long way in telling how much Oklahoma St. has improved defensively. We all know they can play offense in Stillwater. Zac Robinson, Dez Bryant and Kendall Hunter get to show their deadly trio for the first time this season.
2. Alabama @ Virginia Tech - For the second straight season, Bama opens up it's season against a top ten ACC team. Hopefully, for the Hokies, the outcome will be a little bit different. Last year the Crimson Tide routed Clemson en route to an almost perfect season. The loss sent Clemson on a downward spiral that would them their head coach. Va Tech comes into the game without tailback Darren Evans. Speedster Ryan Williams should fill in just fine, but he was face a tough test against Bama's stout defense. The Tide will be breaking in Greg McElroy at QB. It would be a good sign for their offense if he starts off fast against a very good Hokie secondary.
3. Oregon @ Boise St. - Last season's win at Oregon propelled Boise St. to another tremendously overlooked great season. This year, the Broncos get Oregon at home. Both teams look better now than they did last season. For my money, this may be the most entertaining game of week 1. Kellen Moore of Boise St. will look to solidify his spot among the game's top quarterbacks. On the other side, LaGarrette Blount will be looking to add his name to the ranks of top running backs in the country.
4. BYU @ Oklahoma - Another big time BCS v. Non-BCS match-up in week 1. Oklahoma semi-struggled vs. TCU last season. The Horned Frog's D may be a bit better than BYU's. However, BYU's offense is leap year's better than TCU's. That's not good news for OU's defense. This is the premiere QB match-up of week 1 as the defending Heisman winner, Sam Bradford will face off against the savvy Max Hall of BYU.
5. Miami(FL) @ Florida St. - I don't care how far these teams have fallen in recent years. There's nothing like Miami v. FSU to start the season. Both teams will be sporting improved defenses and re-vamped offenses, so it's hard to know what to expect from this game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Players to Watch
Fantasy football is starting to catch on pretty heavily in college football. The fact that you can actually play with real player names makes the game a little bit better. Here are five players that I would play this week if they were on your roster.
1. Andre Anderson Tulane RB - Anderson quietly became one of the nation's top running backs last season. The Green Wave face Tulsa this week.
2. Evan Royster Penn St. RB - The Nittany Lions face Akron this week. The Zips are bad enough to give up a ton of yards to Royster, but they're decent enough to keep the game quasi close. That would keep Royster in the game long enough to rack up some stats.
3. Damien Williams USC WR - Williams was already going to have a big season for the Trojans this season. Richard Johnson's recent injury has made Williams' role all the more important. The only question is how well will Matt Barkley play in his first game as SC's starting QB.
4. Juice Williams Illinois QB - Just look up Williams' stats against Mizzou last season. You'll see why he should be started this week.
5. Colt McCoy Texas QB - McCoy will have the best opportunity to put up dual threat numbers this week. The Longhorns take on Louisiana-Monroe in week 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heisman Watch
I will no longer feature an entire post to the Heisman watch this season. That became a bit too tedious. Instead, I will put my two cents into the Heisman discussion into my weekly previews. Here's the first edition.
1. Tim Tebow Florida QB
2. Colt McCoy Texas QB
3. Sam Bradford Oklahoma QB
4. Dez Bryant Oklahoma St. WR
5. Jahvid Best California RB

Ultimate Fantasy League- The Conferences
As I previously mentioned, there will be 7 glorious conferences partaking in my ingenious concoction of a football league. Each conference will consist of 2 divisions made up of 6 teams. Obviously, I had to move some teams around to make this work. Here's what I came up with.
SEC
East
1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. Tennessee
4. South Carolina
5. Clemson
6. Georgia Tech
West
1. Alabama
2. Auburn
3. LSU
4. Mississippi St.
5. Ole Miss
6. Kentucky
Now tell m that doesn't look like a bad ass conference.
What's New and why: I got rid of Vanderbilt due to the fact that they can't field a competitive team in the SEC. They should have stuck to the Magnolia Conference. I also did away with Arkansas, mainly for geographic reasons. Arkansas is nowhere near the other teams in the SEC. They make much more since in another conference. I moved Kentucky to the West to make room for the 2 new teams, Georgia Tech and Clemson. Both teams come over from the ACC and both will be joining their in-state rivals in the East. Now the Georgia-Georgia Tech and South Carolina-Clemson game will have even greater ramifications. If something this incredibly awesome were to happen in real life, the SEC teams would be given a waiver by the NCAA to schedule all D-III schools for out-of-conference opponents. But that ain't happening in this league...
Big XII
North
1. Colorado
2. Missouri
3. Kansas
4. Kansas St.
5. Nebraska
6. Arkansas
South
1. Oklahoma
2. Texas
3. Texas Tech
4. Texas A&M
5. Oklahoma St.
6. TCU
A bunch of teams from Texas and Oklahoma.
What I did and why: I got rid of Baylor and Iowa St. because they don't belong in the Big XII. Replaced Baylor with a much more capable Texas team in TCU. Moved Arkansas over from the SEC. The Hogs make so much more sense sense in this conference. All of their traditional rivals reside here. The Big XII defensive ratings also rise a bit with the addition of Arkansas and TCU.
Big Ten (Twelve)
East
1. Ohio St.
2. Illinois
3. Northwestern
4. Minnesota
5. Wisconsin
6. Purdue
West
1. Iowa
2. Michigan
3. Michigan St.
4. Indiana
5. Iowa St.
6. Notre Dame
One extra team gives them a better chance of winning a bowl game.Doesn't it?
What I did and why: I got rid of the Fighting JoePa's. They never really made much sense geographically in this conference. Brought in Iowa St. to play along with in-state rival Iowa in the same conference. Also moved the Irish into the conference. Something that should have been done a loooonngg time ago. Both teams are pretty bad, so they should fit right in.
PAC 10 (Twelve)
North
1. Washington
2. Washington St.
3. Oregon
4. Oregon St.
5. Stanford
6. Boise St.
South
1. USC
2. UCLA
3. California
4. Arizona
5. Arizona St.
6. San Diego St.
They still have USC!
What I did and why: I kept all original ten teams intact. The PAC-10 was the only BCS conference that made sense geographically. Added Boise St. and San Diego St. to the mix. Both for very different reasons. I brought in the Broncos simply because of their play on the field. While their blue turf may seem gimmicky, they are a bona fide BCS contender. Being in Idaho is a major hindrance to them however. I added San Diego St. to the conference simply because of their location. The PAC-10 will gain a valuable and big TV market with the San Diego area. Also, I truly believe Brady Hoke can get this thing turned around.
ACC
Atlantic
1. Miami
2. Virginia Tech
3. Virginia
4. North Carolina
5. North Carolina St.
6. Louisville
Coastal
1. Florida St.
2. Wake Forest
3. Maryland
4. Duke
5. South Florida
6. East Carolina
The best part, we don't have to put the stupid (FL) after Miami anymore.
What I did and why: I had to replace Georgia Tech and Clemson, which left for the greener pastures of the SEC. Also, I moved Boston College out of the conference. Replaced those three teams With Louisville and South Florida (formerly of the Big East) and East Carolina (Formerly of C-USA). I think Louisville just makes more sense in the ACC than in the Big East. No real logic behind it. Added South Florida because there is already two built-in rivalries in Florida St. and Miami. East Carolina was the last major Carolina school not included in the conference. So I thought, why the hell not? The Pirates also have a good history against ACC teams.
Big East
North
1. Connecticut
2. Syracuse
3. Rutgers
4. Penn St.
5. Boston College
6. Army
South
1. West Virginia
2. Pittsburgh
3. Cincinnati
4. Vanderbilt
5. Navy
6. Central Florida
We're still a good basketball conference!
What I did and why: The Big East is the smallest of the BCS conferences, and that was before I stole USF, and Louisville away. So half of this conference is completely new. I added Penn St. to a conference that they should have already been in. I moved Boston College back to their rightful position in the Big East. I added Vandy and UCF to help the conference recover the areas that were lost with the aforementioned departures. And for the traditionalists out there, I added the two service academies. I really didn't want to add Army, but I just couldn't see Navy ended a season without dismantling the Cadets.
Mountain West
Mountain
1. Air Force
2. Colorado St.
3. Southern Miss
4. Baylor
5. Louisiana Tech
6. Troy
West
1. BYU
2. Utah
3, Wyoming
4. Tulsa
5. Houston
6. UNLV
The Big XII South ain't got nothing on the Mountain West West!
What I did and why: A lot. I admit this conference is kind of thrown together. Basically this is just the leftover teams, BYU, Utah, Tulsa, Troy would have probably made another conference had i been forced to only do 6, but they were put here to equal out the not so great teams. Teams like Wyoming and Air Force were kept because of their past ties to the Mountain West. Teams like Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss were added because of their past performance, and teams like Baylor and Houston were added because of their big markets. This will likely the be destination of future teams that are called up to the big time.
SEC
East
1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. Tennessee
4. South Carolina
5. Clemson
6. Georgia Tech
West
1. Alabama
2. Auburn
3. LSU
4. Mississippi St.
5. Ole Miss

CFB 365 Ultimate Fantasy League
OK. So I hung up the Ol' blogging shoes for a while there. I guess you could call me the Sterling Sharpe of blogging. I came out with a fantastic flurry only to fade down the stretch and call it a career. A very short career. The truth is, running a daily blog by yourself is VERY time consuming and difficult. Even for someone as awesome as me, I just found it not worth the energy. Well, I'm back baby. I won't be making daily updates like in the past. I'll just update whenever I have the free time. Starting now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure most of you have read the ESPN fantasy 40 team college football league. The league consists of 40 teams selected by slack jawed yokels, Schlabachacasdh (or whatever the hell is name is) Forde and Maisel. Well, while reading their horrible excuse for a column, I decided that I could do better than them. I have created an 84 team fantasy league. The leagues consists of 7 conferences. All 6 BCS conferences and the Mountain West.
Now, I have altered the conferences to make sure we get some awesome fake football. Each conference will have 12 teams. There will be two divisions of 6, ensuring that every conference will have a championship game at the end of the season. I have also taking the liberty of moving some teams out of their current conferences into a situation that makes a little more sense.
Each team will play an 11 game season. They will play all 5 of their division opponents as well as one pre-determined intra-division opponent every year. (i.e. Florida v. LSU) Also, each team will play two alternating opponents from the opposite division every year. The other 3 games will be made up of out-of-conference opponents. One will be a pre-determined opponent that they will face every year. These match-ups will either be continuations of long-standing rivalries (i.e. Florida v. Florida St.) or teams that I feel match-up pretty well with each other every year. (i.e. Alabama v. Michigan.) The other 2 out-of-conference games will be determined by me. Each team will play one of these games on the road and the other at home. I have tried my best to make match-ups that are rather intriguing. For example, Florida will play Notre Dame and Ohio St., Texas will play LSU and Auburn, USC will play Virginia Tech and Utah, etc.
There will be a 16 team playoff at the end of the season. All 7 conference winners and 9 at large teams will make the tournament. The first and second round will be played at the home of the higher seed. The "final four" and championship rounds will be played at neutral site venues.
Each week will be played out congruently with the real college football season. Outcomes will be determined by real life factors. Injuries or how a team has played in the real season will effect how the team will do in my league.
I'll post the 7 conferences that I have created, along with schedules at a later date.
At the end of each season, I will assess every team and see which ones should be upgraded or downgraded to a particular conference. Also, I like the idea of relegation. Say one of the 84 teams I pick stinks it up this year, and a team that is consistently decent has a solid year. I will look to replacing said horrible team with said less horrible team.
This might sound somewhat confusing, but trust me, I know what I'm doing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Along with these fantasy updates, I'll continue to do my weekly previews and reviews that were big hits in yesteryear. I won't be doing the Heisman watch, weekly picks or rankings anymore. Those just took up waaayyyy too much time. If you're new to CFB365, which I'm sure you are as my grand total of 3 readers probably gave up on me, take the time out to peruse my old articles and find out what this site is all about. Enjoy the season, and please joining my follower list.
