Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (01/10/18)

Most people like to say, "We told you so," when others make an error in judgement. But we're not most people. Why? Because we put our thoughts out there every week, and most of the time we're wrong. Or some of the time anyway. Where will we err this week? Here are the Rotoballer college […]

Normally, we would welcome the change a New Year brings--and we were particularly looking forward to ringing in 2018. Let's just say 2017 could have ended better for a few of us here at Rotoballer College Sports HQ. And so, we found ourselves thinking, "It's time for some things to end and others to begin." […]

First, it was exams. Then, it was the winter break. Now, we're sure the Trump administration will do something to disrupt the college basketball schedule--and thus our schedule. Actually, that was just a lame attempt to up our Google search traffic. Our rankings aren't lame, however. At least we hope not. Here are the Rotoballer […]

There's an old saying, "A day late and a dollar short." Consider us both. Yes, we usually do our rankings on Tuesdays but, as another saying goes, "Life got in the way." So here we are. Thinking: It's never too late to share our thoughts on the current college basketball landscape. Or: "Better late than never." […]

As a fan, we love upsets. Who doesn't want to see David beat Goliath? Or the glass slipper fit Cinderella? Sports writers, that's who. Upsets mean more work for us. Last-minute comebacks lead to 11th-hour rewrites. Your friendly neighborhood sports reporter is the only one leaving the building unhappy following an "instant-classic" win. We know: […]

We can hear Mick's words in our heads as we write this, "When the days get shorter and the nights get long..." No, the Stones' tune "She's So Cold" isn't about December--not exactly--but the line does carry a certain weight now that, well, the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, not only for […]

Thanksgiving does more than simply raise our body weight and cholesterol levels. Holiday weekend tournaments also shape much of the rankings for the rest of the season--separating the contenders from the pretenders throughout college basketball. So, where do we stand after the first slate of big games this season? Here are Rotoballer's college hoops rankings, […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (11/15/17)

Well, get down to business for one thing. So, here are our first CBB rankings for the 2017-18 season, as of November 15, 2017 (won-loss […]

Final Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (4/4/17)

If you're like us, you spend much of March focusing on the winners and losers in the NCAA Tournament. Or heck, even the NIT. But, to be sure, the real winners in college basketball are those players chosen in the NBA Draft. With that in mind, for our final rankings of the 2016-17 season, we'll […]

It's almost tournament time. In our final rankings of the regular season, you won't see much change from last week. But change surely will come. That's our only prediction. Here are our CBB rankings for the week of March 6th (won-loss records in parentheses).   NCAA College Basketball (CBB) Rankings 1. Kansas, (28-3) The Jayhawks […]

Beware the Ides of March... Or, if you're Gonzaga, late-February. The bloom officially fell off the 'Zags rose, courtesy of BYU. So who's left? Here are our CBB rankings for the week of February 27th (won-loss records in parentheses).   NCAA College Basketball (CBB) Rankings 1. Kansas, (26-3) As you know, we've always liked the […]

There is no "I" in team. But, as "Leon" in those old beer commercials once pointed out, to Joe Buck, "There ain't no 'we' neither." (Look it up on Youtube.) Still, the collective at Gonzaga may be proving "Leon" wrong. They certainly are proving a lot of others wrong, as they keep on winning. Here […]

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we're going to try to show the love this week. No negativity here. Just the positives, please. Like the exchanging of cards in grade school, when all the kids make out Valentines for all their classmates--even the dorks--we're just gonna ladle out the mush. So, with that in mind, […]

We're not Sports Illustrated. We don't hold ourselves in such high esteem. But we have our own SI "cover jinx" here at RotoBaller College Hoops headquarters (we have our own home theater system, too, but don't tell the rest of the staff). It seems that every time we pick a new No. 1 (Baylor this […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/30/17)

We can't win for losing. Just when we think we have the college hoops landscape all figured out, teams start dropping like flies. UCLA dropped two in a row. So did Kentucky. Several other teams suffered upset loses on the road, including North Carolina. So who survives in our rankings? Here are our CBB rankings […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/23/17)

Will Gonzaga go undefeated? Will the pollsters praise the Big 12 and give Kansas and Baylor their due? Will Villanova win it all--again? These aren't questions we can answer in January, but we can tell you our thoughts on the top teams as of now. Here are our CBB rankings for the week of January […]

Like the late great Dr. King, we have a dream--although it is far less ambitious (or important). Really, we just want to get my Top 10 done on time.

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (1/9/17)

It had to happen sooner or later. Just eight teams have completed perfect seasons as NCAA Division I champions, the last being Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers in 1976. So it was a matter of time for Villanova. Today, due to conference realignment, the college basketball season entails more travel, tougher matchups and more hostile road […]

So we go to bed--early, we're old--on New Year's and we wake up to find our Top 10 eviscerated. So much for our hopes for a better 2017. Anyway, the results this weekend illustrate that while the years 2016 and 2017 may not be the greatest of all time, the 2016-17 college hoops season certainly […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/26/16)

We're making two New Year's resolutions for 2017--or at two that are relevant to you, dear reader. For the first, we pledge to stick with Villanova until another team proves that they are better than the 'Cats, and it is starting to look unlikely that such a team will emerge from the pack. For the […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (12/19/16)

For the NBA, Kentucky coach John Calipari is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving, year-round, from the NBA draft on through the finals. You can certainly argue the ethics of the NBA using our nation's colleges as its feeder system, but you can't argue that Coach Cal isn't among the best in the business […]

With the college football regular season over, college hoops takes center stage from now until the meat of the bowl season.
