Preseason rankings are basically guesses and contribute to the competitive imbalance of college football. However, from a fan’s perspective they are very helpful and give a moderate idea of what to expect from the coming soon. Here’s this year’s preseason AP Top 25: 1. Oklahoma (36) Landry Jones leads an impressive passing attack that could [...]
What was thought to be a quite weekend in college football brought us a lot of close games as we sit here on Monday asking “what if.” What if California, Georgia and San Diego State pulled off the upsets. California held Oregon’s high-powered offense to just 15 points, but could only muster up 13 points [...]
After a pretty uneventful Week 3 of college football, the rankings saw a considerable shift following the conclusion of the fourth week of the season. We saw the No. 7, No. 10 and No. 12 teams all fall to defeat. Here’s the polls for Week 5. First Class: Top 10 The biggest upset of the [...]

Now we are really in the shallow end of the swimming pool. Fortunately, we live in more fortunate times where shortstops hold more value than they did five years ago. The power is limited at the position, so look for 30 home runs in another place. What the position does have is a plethora of [...]
Oh second base. At one time, only Alfonso Soriano was worth owning at your position. Since those days, he has gone downhill and the 2B position has seen a spike in production. Well, maybe “spike” is overdoing it, but you have to admit that drafting a second baseman these days isn’t as never-racking as recent [...]
First base has the luxury of being one of the deepest talent pools in fantasy baseball. Twelve 1B crack Yahoo!’s top 50 players, which speaks volumes for the production that can be found at the position. This of course indicates that grabbing a 1B early in your drafts is not essential. However, some of the [...]
