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. […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/9/24)

It's a light night in the college game. We only have two games on tap, but one is an important Big Ten (18) game, and the other features a highly ranked team. It's not all bad! We start in Bloomington with the Gophers facing Indiana. We end in Waco with Abilene Christian making its way […]

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: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/6/24)

It's another lighter night in the college basketball universe, but we still have a few good teams taking the court tonight. We even have another conference game in the Big Ten (18). Not bad for the Friday night of championship week in football! We start in Bloomington with Miami of Ohio making the trip. Georgetown […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Top College Fantasy Football Players Week 14 (2024)

We had all 134 teams in action this weekend, so there were plenty of great performances to choose from. The last week of the college football regular season was a little less chaotic from a standings perspective, but it was chaos after games. We had six fights break out after heated rivalry games. One involved […]

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 […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 15 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. Week 14 saw Georgia survive, and no fewer […]

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

We have a great eight-game slate again tonight. Once again, most of the marquee games take place under the lights. We have Florida and Florida State from Tallahassee. Instead of Bedlam, Oklahoma heads to Red Stick to take on LSU. We have the Battle for the Oaken Bucket from Bloomington to take care of the […]

CBB DFS: Main DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/28/24)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you hoop-heads! Thank you for reading these pieces and hopefully they have helped you over the years. We have a great selection of holiday tournaments for those of you who aren't interested in the NFL. The ESPN Invitational starts today with Minnesota facing Wichita State and Florida taking on Wake […]

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 (11/27/24)

These holiday tournaments sure are fun, aren't they? DraftKings has chopped up the slates into three of them today and all of them are loaded with talent. We can gorge on DFS the day before we gorge on turkey or whatever your family uses to give thanks. The Battle 4 Atlantis begins the slate with […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 14 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. Week 13 was massive chaos and whittling this […]

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 […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/23/24)

We have our busiest Saturday since Week 3, with 53 games this week. Judging by my performance lately, that's 53 more chances to fail. I'm optimistic about this week since I feel like I was on the right track last week. I went against my instincts a couple of times, was robbed by the refs […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 13 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

We are down to the last two weeks of ESPN college pick 'em and things got a little tighter at the top. "dlobo4" led the group with 49 points last week and I was in second with 43 points. My point stealing worked mostly, but my faith in Georgia State ruined what could have been […]

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 […]

CBB DFS: Main DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/16/24)

We are at a special time during college basketball season. We are not locked into two busy mid-week days with nothing on Thursday and Friday yet. We have a loaded Friday slate with tomorrow reserved for football. Let's take advantage! Unfortunately, DraftKings split the slate today. We still have star power on both slates, though, […]

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 […]

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 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, […]

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 […]

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 Betting Picks: Against The Spread (10/26/24)

We have a lighter Saturday with many teams taking in mid-season off weeks and one team (UMass) slumming in FCS. We still have a solid 47-game slate to keep us occupied. I already missed one max bet last night (Old freaking Dominion, of course), so I have some ground to make up already. I never […]

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 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 […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 8 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

I had my best week in a long while last week, only missing the 1-point pick that I was trying to steal. "Stott not Scott" had a perfect week, and "EAGLESYANKEES77" tied with me in the near-perfect week. "Kev Shep," BKNoleGirl," "IUBB1!," "IRONmike," and "keepingthelittlehumansalive" all hit 50 or more points as well. The good […]
