Not sure how big a market there is, but we've been playing for 18 years. Basically, rather then players, you draft teams (in our league we choose 6), and you get points for wins. You get extra points for beating ranked teams, teams owned by other guys, and for blowing people out by 20 points or more.
4 of the 6 must come from the power 5 conferences, to force guys to go deep in those leagues, and get more head-to-head competitions.
So basically, every year, in addition to my Louisville Cardinals, I have 6 other schools I follow fairly intensely. I also am a lot more tuned in on other things in college football, based on league standings. It totally helps me when I wager on college football -- you see lines and know they are off at first glance.
It has been the most stable fantasy league I have ever been in. We accidentally invited too many when one of our guys moved out of state, so we've been stuck at 13 players for about 9 years now. I keep waiting for us to lose a guy, so we can get to a better number, but so far, everyone is hanging tight.
It's easy to manage, and it's been a blast.
As far as my first choice goes, at 12, I am hoping that Washington drops to me there, but I expect they will probably go right before I get to choose them. The first 7 or 8 will probably be (in no particular order) Alabama, Florida State, Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Ohio State. Then it will get interesting. Stanford, Washington, Ole Miss, TCU, Michigan, Notre Dame will probably go in some order, just not sure how they will fall exactly.
If I could somehow snag Washington at 12, and then Miami at 15, I'd be pretty freakin' happy with that.
But if Washington is gone, do I bump up Miami to 12, and pass up teams like Stanford, Notre Dame, Baylor, USC, Michigan State??
I may do so ... I just have a feeling that Miami is gonna explode this season. Their D-Line seems to be a question mark, and that makes me concerned. Maybe a Miami fan can chime in and ease my worries some.
