NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Postseason

It turns out that demolishing the divisions in the superconferences from Hell was a good idea. Who knew? Most of the conference championship games were exciting, even if there wasn't much drama about who was getting into the first 12-team playoff. The Big 12 (16) Championship was the only game that had do-or-die pretenses. That […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/11/24)

We have another busy night tonight, but not as many marquee matchups. That's the nature of college basketball in December. We start in Queens with St. John's hosting Bryant. Louisville hosts UTEP. Dartmouth travels to South Bend to take on the Irish. Fairleigh-Dickinson is in Philly to take on Villanova. Eastern Kentucky heads up to […]

2024 College Football Playoff Bracket Reaction - What The Committee Got Right And Wrong

The College Football Playoff Committee put themselves in an impossible situation. They ranked teams with weak schedules and/or no ranked wins too high and boxed themselves in. They couldn't get out of it and SEC teams kept losing. That's the storyline going around. What the committee ended up doing was kicking the SEC hornet's nest. […]

CBB DFS: Main DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/3/24)

This is going to be a fun week of college basketball! We have the ACC/SEC Challenge and the Big 12/Big East Challenge going on for the next few days.

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/30/24)

We close out the regular season in style today with 50 games. Most of these are rivalries and some of them have clever little nicknames. Not Ohio State and Michigan. "The Game?" Really? Get a little more creative! Like Farmageddon. Farmageddon is good. I got some of the chaos right last week, but not where […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/23/24)

We are nearing the end, friends. After this week we only have rivalry week left for the big tournaments. We will have several smaller slates throughout bowl season -- and you know I'll be with you for all of it -- but there is something special about these big 12-game slates. We have some big […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 13

Georgia takes down Tennessee a week after losing to Mississippi. The Big Ten (18) is really tough at the top, but really bad at the bottom. Most of the middle is irrelevant for ranking purposes. The middle of the ACC tanked and Louisiana was removed from the ranks of one-loss teams. It was an interesting […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 13 Update)

This was intended to be a monthly update of the playoff picture, but things have gotten wild in the first couple weeks of November. Wild enough that we at RotoBaller thought it was necessary to do a weekly update for the last few weeks of the season. This is unlike anything we have seen before […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 12

It was the ACC that threw a wrench in everything this week but somehow gave their playoff berth some clarity. The SEC did not. Georgia fell in Oxford to muddy up the SEC waters a little more. It's getting interesting out there. Not 2007 interesting, but interesting nonetheless. These rankings will vary from the AP […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 12 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

We have just three weeks left. "lbockenek" and "all the way up Big tee#2" both hit 50 points in Week 11. Six other entries had at least 45 points. "mr_richard" still leads the group with 431 points, but his lead dwindled to just three points over "lbockenek" with her big week. "big papi10" sits in […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 12 Update)

This was intended to be a monthly update of the playoff picture, but things have gotten wild in the first couple weeks of November. Wild enough that we at RotoBaller thought it was necessary to do a weekly update over the next couple of weeks. Georgia and Miami both lost, throwing a wrench into the […]

DraftKings Late Night CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/9/24)

Are you ready to be done yet? You know that I'm not! Last week ended way too early! We get a late-night slate back after a week off and I'm stoked! We start in Colorado Springs with Fresno visiting the Air Force. Next up is the Holy War in Salt Lake City. We can't possibly […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/9/24)

Where did this season go? We are in November already! We had 10 games before Saturday this week and have another lighter Saturday on tap. We still have 40 games to win some money on and I plan on doing just that. Are you with me? I finished a solid 26-22 last week but missed […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 11

The Big 12 (14) was turned on its ear and Ohio State proved its dominance over Penn State (again). Just another week of college football in November. The games are still exciting for now, but will the novelty wear off after a few years? Penn State losing to Ohio State means very little this year. […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 11 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

I missed my 10-pointer again and missed another high game because Bhayshul Tuten and Kyron Drones both missed the Syracuse game. Ouch! Amazingly, "Bluestar" had a perfect week in the RotoBaller reader's group this week. "mr_richard" was the only other entry to hit 40 points. That caused a bit of chaos at the top. The […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (November Update)

Most teams are eight games into the 2024 season. If you thought the arguments about a four-team playoff were exhausting, just wait until you see the chaos that could happen this year. The ACC could blow up the 12-team playoff before it even gets off the ground! Whereas September's playoff picture had a modicum of […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 10

A few teams were tested this week and a few other ranked teams got destroyed by higher-ranked teams. That will cause some shakeups lower in the rankings, but the top will remain largely unchanged. That will be the case this week and next week when more than a third of the top 25 teams are […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/26/24)

We have another dozen games on the main slate today and there are some good ones to start the day. Ohio State hosts Nebraska. That never ends well for the Huskers. We have the Irish and Navy from the Meadowlands. Tulane is in the metroplex to face North Texas. Ole Miss hosts a struggling Oklahoma […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 9 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

"134 teams & not 1 good 1" led the group with 46 points this week. "Weinhund's Winners" was the only other entry to get 40. The logjam started after that, but there were a couple of shakeups at the top. "IUBB1!" leads the group for the second straight week with 308 points. "mr_richard" is in […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 9

No. 1 goes down again. Another top-10 team is pushed to the limit at home. Another causes goalposts to find a watery grave for the second time in three years. It's just another weekend of college football! These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. I go by what […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/18/24)

We have an action-packed Friday night on tap tonight. Not just one but two ranked teams will take the field, including the second-ranked team in the country. How often do we have that on a Friday? We begin in Durham, where Duke hosts Florida State. Oregon heads to Ross-Ade to take on a Purdue team […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 8

It was another week of chaos, which could be the new normal in college football. Mega conferences have churned up some good regular season games, even if they are cheapened a bit by the expanded playoff. These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. I go by what happened […]

College Football Betting Picks: Thursday and Friday Games (Week 8 2024)

We had the return of Tuesday and Wednesday college football this week and I love it! Those picks were released in the DFS articles. We have a busy Thursday and Friday again this week, which I also love. There is no better time to be a college football fan than in October when we have […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 7 - 2024 College Football

Week 7 of the college football season did not disappoint and honestly from this point on, every weekend ahead of us gets more and more exciting. More games have championship implications with the 12-team playoff on the horizon, and a few teams’ playoff hopes are on life support following some shocking Week 7 losses. Although […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/12/24)

We are "down" to a dozen games again this week, but that doesn't mean we're short on good games or good DFS spots. The nooners start in Tuscaloosa with South Carolina in town. Clemson heads up to Winston-Salem to take on Wake. Georgia Tech is in Chapel Hill to beat on...er...take on the Tar Heels. […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (October Update)

We are already a third of the way through the college football season. While some teams such as Florida State and Kansas have already been eliminated from the playoff discussion, we have far more that are still in the running. This pool of teams will shrink as the season wears on, but we here at […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 6

Week 5 had a couple of big upsets. One of the slumming FBS teams lost to an FCS foe. We had the misfortune of terrible officiating affecting the outcome of not one but two games. But hey...at least we were graced with a monumental Georgia-Alabama game. These rankings will vary greatly from the AP ones […]
