College Fantasy Football

JaMarcusHustle

This didn't go ahead last year and I missed it big time, so starting afresh this year.

Anybody who is interested please post here. Once registration opens, I'll PM you all with directions on how to join our league. I'm aware this a bit of a ****ty rule, but I'll be giving preference to those who have a track record of being active to minimise the unmanaged teams as it's hindered our league in previous years (don't let that put you off though, we always struggle to get the numbers we want involved!).

Register for a CBS Sports account in advance (very easy, none of that confirmation e-mail crap involved).

I propose the usual rules - all FBS teams included, no FCS teams. Default scoring etc. Will decide on league structures and divisions once we have an idea of how many taking part.

Any suggestions welcome.

I'll admit I've never played Fantasy CFB before, but I've been watching more and more of it in the last few years. Would love to give it a go if there's a spot open

Spongey1975

Missed this last year too and my interest in college football declined a bit as a result. I'd love to get back in on this again.

TO.

I will join this year. One thing I ask though is that we vote to fix the waiver system and when players lock on the roster. Last time they locked on tues or Wednesday when the first game of the week starts.

Stick me in please. My fault last year and their didn't seem to be enough interest tbh.

swedstef

I'm interested in joining if there is a spot open.

Is CBS hosting CFB fantasy leagues this year? I haven't received a notifiction e-mail from them.
I've been in CFB leagues at Fantrax (can't post link since I'm new here) the last few years and maybe they could be an alternative if CBS doesn't host leagues this year?

Definitely. Once CBS opens again, I'll see what options are available, but I'm all for players locking once their game kicks off. Basically the same as NFL.com.

CBS are hosting, it just hasn't reopened yet is all.

Onecoolcookie

Yup thats what I was hoping for as cbs default setting is that it locks on the tuesday or wednesday which is a pain but you can set it up like the NFL.com model.

I'd be interested I think... but firstly...

How does it differ from NFL FF in terms of team make-up?

Like, is it QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, D, K

or is there some other otehr format.

There are so many college teams .....

HigginsJ

Yea I would certainly like to give this a go

JaMarcusHustle

10 confirmed so far. Hopefully we can get 16.

Team structure is pretty much the same as fantasy NFL.

QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, WR3, TE, K, DEF and 5 bench players of your choosing.

I have a bare, bare knowledge of CFB but going to try get more in this year so count me in if space.

smackbunnybaby

I'd like to confirm my interest in playing.

davetherave

Wouldn't mind coming back for this.

Agree with the above though. Previous seasons were a bit of a pain with the roster locks.

JaMarcusHustle

13 at the moment. Either 1 more or 3 more will do.

kingcobra

Wouldnt mind a go at this too!

JaMarcusHustle

It looks like CBS are not hosting College FF this year, so I'm moving this over to FanTrax.

I need the 14 people who are taking part to PM me their e-mail address so I can send them an invite. Thanks.

JaMarcusHustle

Also, can anyone remember if we played with 1 or 2 starting QBs in the old league? I think it was 2, or am I mistaken?

davetherave

1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST in the starting lineup

Player Pool: SEC, Mountain West, Atlantic Coast, , Pac 12, American Athletic, Sun Belt, Mid American, Big Ten, Big 12, Independents and Conf USA Teams.

Lineup Policy Owners may set lineups.
Add/Drop Deadline Transactions will lock five minutes before the first game on Saturday. Players whose teams play before Saturday will be locked for the remainder of the scoring period.
Add/Drop Policy Add/drops are handled by a waivers process.
Waivers Run The waivers process runs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Waiver Reset The waiver order resets after each weeks' games.
Waiver Period Dropped players remain on waivers for at least 3 day(s).

JaMarcusHustle

I'm almost certain we had 2 starting QBs over on CBS...

davetherave

I can still log in to the league on CBS and the old rosters are showing one QB.


If I go to set my lineup this is what it is offering.

JaMarcusHustle

Ah, it was a second league that TO had setup where there was 2 QBs - I was thinking of that one. Never mind!

I'll send the final 3 a PM to remind them. We still have an open space btw if anyone else wants in.

I'm interested in playing if there's a space. I played two years ago and it was awesome.

No problem, send me your email in a PM and I'll forward you an invite. Thanks for signing up again!

JaMarcusHustle

Waiting on one more person to join. Onecoolcookie, but he hasn't been only in over 2 weeks. Hopefully he's just on holidays or something.

In the meantime, with the season kicking off next Wednesday, it's time to decide when our draft will be. Please vote for whatever times suit you. The time with the most votes will be the one picked. Thanks!

I'll take that last spot.

Hey, Im afraid we have 14 teams for now.

Spots number 15 and 16 are reserved for Onecoolcookie and linksrookie. I'm only increasing the league size in increments of two so if Onecoolcookie accepts his place then you're in! Or if someone comes in place of Onecoolcookie.

No prob. Good luck with the league!

JaMarcusHustle

So we have 14 participants, and all are confirmed. The two most popular choices are 9pm and 10pm on Wednesday 27th August - both with 9 votes. This also happens to be the day the FBS season kicks off.

I flipped a coin between them and 10pm won, so that's when the draft will be.

linksrookie and Oncoolcookie will be on standby for 2 additional places in the league. I can only add 2 teams at a time, so if Onecoolcookie comes back (hasn't been active since the start of August) then they are both in. Or if someone else wants to play, then that person and linksrookie are in.

Draft = Wednesday 27th August @ 10pm

Yep sorry about that been away on holidays for the past few weeks but that draft date suits me grand, PM'd you my email for the invite now.

I got an e-mail reminder about that alright. That was the date I set when creating a league, I'll be changing it to Wednesday at some stage today.

Thanks for the reminder, I'd already forgotten about the e-mail reminder

JaMarcusHustle

Also, Onecoolcookie has PMed me and he's back in. So I'll send linksrookie a PM too letting him know he's also in. This is the first we've had 16 for College FF - I'm excited

TO.

Auto draft for me but looking forward to it. Will set my draft order. We using all of D1?

Where would I find draft advice/mock drafts for fantasy college football

College Football Geeks would be by far the best resource but a sub is $45. However this year they allow you to subscribe for $10 through FanDuel which is grand because you get $10 credit to play with on FanDuel aswell.

Apart from that, there's the r/CFF subreddit on Reddit but it's pretty quiet over there.

Apart from CFG, the only one I know is The CFF Site.

JaMarcusHustle

Bump. Draft tonight

smackbunnybaby

Guys, I have a profile and have signed into the fantrax site.
But for the life of me, can't find my league page...
I'm assuming this is where I will go to launch the draft come 9.45?

You should have a My Leagues option along the menu bar next to NFL

Onecoolcookie

And with the first pick of the 2014 College Fantasy Football Draft, Cookie's Cowboys select Devin Funchess TE Michigan :eek::mad::mad::mad:

Had a lovely draft queue of all my top picks but didn't realise the client would choose from it straight away without confirming it with me....

UnitedIrishman

Disaster of a night, was meant to finish work at half 9 but kept on late so have to log in and see what the draft has in store for me.

HigginsJ

Well that was interesting. Got a few of the players I wanted but not totally sure what I have. My 1st player starts the season in under half an hour.

QB's
Taylor Heinicke - Old Dominion
Christian Hackenberg - Penn. St.

RB's
Ameer Abdullah - Nebraska
Paul James - Rutgers
Joe Hill - Utah State
Jahwan Edwards - Ball State

WR's
Robert Davis - Georgia State
Austin Hill - Arizona
Dominic Rufran - Wyoming
DeVante Parker - Louisville (out for 6-8 weeks so might look to pick someone up off waivers)
Geno Lewis - Penn State

TE's
Tyreese Russell - Eastern Michigan

D/ST
Penn State

K
Matt Wogan - Oregon

UnitedIrishman

I've got a **** ton of QB's. Time to do some research on RB's and WR's me thinks.
