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 […]

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. […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook: Selection Sunday

Here we sit on the morning of the selection of the largest playoff field college football has ever seen. It feels just like I thought it would: gross. Conference Championship Week was more exciting than usual, even in games that featured teams that were already in. That's good. There was not an armageddon scenario for […]

CBB DFS: Main DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/7/24)

We have a big day of college basketball in front of us today and I'll be with you the whole way! Most of the action is on the main slate, which is early today. The afternoon and evening slates have a ton of options as well! K-State gets us started in Newark early facing St. […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Championship Week (12/6 And 12/7 2024)

It has all come down to Championship Week. Of course, it's a little anticlimactic when half of the teams that will be in the playoff aren't playing this week. We still have some drama with the Big 12 (16) likely only getting the champion in. Boise State is in a position where they need to […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 15

Ohio State loses to Michigan again, but it will only affect their playoff seeding, not their participation in said event. Miami's loss will have them sweating on Selection Sunday. Most of the playoff field will be set if indeed the committee keeps its word about participation in the conference championship game not negatively affecting the […]

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

The SEC/ACC Challenge rolls into the night slate as well. We have Mississippi visiting Louisville and Florida State heading to LSU to start us off. Next up is Georgia Tech in Norman to take on Oklahoma. Wake is in College Station to take on the Aggies. We have Kentucky in Clemson for the last of […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/30/24)

We are nearing the end, friends. This is our last of the big college football tournaments, so let's make the most of it! The nooners give us the Palmetto Cup from Clemson. We have the Dolly Parton Bowl from Nashville. We have the Bourbon Bowl from Lexington. West Virginia heads to Lubbock for some fresh-thrown […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 14

Oklahoma, Auburn, and Florida nuked the SEC. Indiana falls to Ohio State. The Kansas Jayhawks quest for a bowl claims another victim. It was just another day in the college football universe, but it could shake up these rankings a bit. These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. […]

CBB DFS: Early DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/26/24)

We had a few holiday tournaments kick up over the weekend, but now we're getting into them in earnest. Our early slate today starts with San Diego State and Creighton in the Power Tournament at the Players Era Festival in Vegas. Next up we have UConn and Colorado from Maui. After that is Penn State […]

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 […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/17/24)

We have a smaller Sunday slate after some outstanding options over the last two days. Once again, we're not short on big names. The transfer portal affects college basketball more with less fanfare. Many mid-majors and small Division I talents are moving up to bigger and better things. We start at noon in Queens, with […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/16/24)

We only have two more weekends after this of wall-to-wall college football. Enjoy it while you can! We have some interesting games today. The early window isn't very busy with only four games, but there are a couple of important ones. Tulane heads up to Maryland to take on the Navy. Texas heads to Fayetteville […]

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 Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/16/24)

We are up to 42 games on Saturday despite a couple of SEC teams snacking on cupcakes this week. This is our busiest week in the last three weeks and I need a get-right week like Penn State had last week. Week 11 was brutal. I only got 18 of 50 picks right and lost […]

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

Lost somewhere in New Orleans last weekend were my main slate picks. Somehow, they got lost in the shuffle, so there's no sense in posting them late. We'll move on to this week with another dozen games. The Nooners feature Florida in Austin, West Virginia in Cincinnati, Syracuse on Chestnut Hill to meet Boston College, […]

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 […]

DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/2/24)

We have a great eight-game slate to close out the night tonight. For the first time in years, we don't have a late-night slate. You can thank the death of the Pac-12 for that. The Mountain West playing during the day doesn't help either. We begin in Stillwater with the Pokes hosting Arizona State...or maybe […]

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 […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/2/24)

Where did this season go? We are in November already! This is the lightest week of the entire season with only 39 games involving FCS teams on Saturday. We still have some good ones to pick. It's the week of the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. That has to count for something! I finished a […]

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 […]

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 Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/19/24)

For the second straight week, we have a dozen games on the main slate. We've got some good ones in the noon window. Auburn heads to Missouri. Virginia heads to Clemson to take on the Tigers. Miami is in Louisville for a date with the Cardinals. Nebraska is looking to spoil Indiana's undefeated start in […]

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 […]

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. […]

DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (10/5/24)

We have another big eight-game prime-time slate to fill our Saturday night. Sure, MLB is going on, but wouldn't you rather watch Clemson-Florida State? Maybe not, but we have some nice games after that. Tennessee is hog hunting in Fayetteville. Baylor heads up to Ames. Michigan heads out west to Husky Stadium. USC gets to […]

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 […]

DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/28/24)

Get a load of this prime-time slate, will ya? We've got some big slate (eight games) and some big games (Alabama-Georgia, anyone?) making this one of the most exciting slates we've had in a while. We begin in Houston with the Cyclones in town. Stanford learns just how big the ACC is when they head […]
