Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/10/17)

Unknown

All the games have been played. By now, we all know which team is the best in the country.

The other top teams? Subjective. Arguably.

So for our final rankings, we'll give you a preview of the players from the top teams who may be factors in your NFL fantasy drafts next fall (team won-loss records in parentheses). And note: Not all of these guys are projected first-round picks, and they're not necessarily expected to go in this order. See you in September.

 

NCAA College Football (CBB) Rankings

1. Clemson, (14-1)

Did we think the Tigers would win the title? Well, they were our No. 1 team to start the season (you can look it up). Do we think Mike Williams will be the first receiver drafted? Yep. Williams already looks like an NFL receiver. He's got size, speed and smarts. He's bounced back from a broken collarbone in 2015 to grab 90 passes for more than 1,200 yards during the regular season. He's been one of many weapons at Clemson, and still produced.

2. Alabama, (14-1)

As good as Clemson is, we still can't believe anyone could beat 'Bama and that defense. Defensive linemen aren't sexy fantasy picks, but if you're looking for a sack specialist and an impact rookie, Crimson Tide defensive end Jonathan Allen is worth a look. He had 56 tackles and 8.5 sacks during the regular season in 2016. It may take him a while to produce similar numbers at the next level, but we think he'll be a quick study.

3. Washington, (12-2)

John Ross may be the second-best receiver in the country, and he plays on the third-best team, as the Huskies played marginally better in the semis than Ohio State, against a tougher team. Ross finished with 81 catches, more than 1,100 receiving yards and 17 TDs.

4. Oklahoma, (11-2)

Are we slighting the Buckeyes? We look forward to your letters (letters, for you younger folks, are like tweets, on paper). Draft prognosticators are slighting Dede Westbrook, the Sooners' wideout with nearly 1,500 receiving yards on 80 catches, with 17 TDs. He's undersized, which means he may fall to the second round, but has a big heart.

5. Ohio State, (11-2)

Okay Buckeye fans, calm down. Your team still rates Top 5, and cornerback Marshon Lattimore may as well in April in the eyes of NFL people--if he decides to come out. In all, 37 tackles and four INTs for one of the more athletic corners in the country.

6. Wisconsin, (11-3)

Figures the Badgers wouldn't have a projected top pick at the so-called "skill positions." What they have is a top offensive tackle, Ryan Ramczyk, who is projected to go in the first round--assuming his hip is healthy. Ramczyk won't be a fantasy factor, obviously, unless you draft players running--or passing--the ball behind him.

7. USC, (10-3)

The Trojans found their game in October. And, by then, the damage to their Pac-12 and national title hopes, faint as they were, had been done. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (70 catches, 914 yards, 10 TDs) came on strong as the season went along--just like his team--and his draft stock is on the rise.

8. Oklahoma State, (10-3)

The Cowboys beat Colorado, the "boutique" team among pigskin pundits in the Alamo Bowl--handily. Yet, none of the notable 'Pokes prospects are coming out, with QB Mason Rudolph and wide receiver James Washington opting to stay in school for another year. Both are worth waiting for.

9. Penn State, (10-3)

The Nittany Lions' Cinderella season just missed a happy ending, with the Penn Staters losing a classic Rose Bowl to USC. Wide receiver Chris Godwin (59 catches, 982 yards, 11 TDs) has declared for the draft, but he may not go until the middle rounds. Will he be a difference maker? Probably not. But he's a solid and smart wideout, and in deeper leagues he might be worth a look.

10. Florida State, (10-3)

We picked the Seminoles because of Dalvin Cook, and you should pick Cook next fall because... he's a BEAST, as his 1,765 rushing yards and 19 TDs on the ground illustrate. He also had 488 receiving yards. Nasty.
