Posted 6/7/09 by Todd DeVries

Introducing the CollegeFootballGeek.com Big Board, home to our 2009 college fantasy football rankings and projections. 

It’s built on cutting-edge technology that allows you to sort on each column, and filter the talent pool to your league specifications. 

Also included is a sneak preview of our new Strength of Schedule analysis for each team (still a work in progress).  You can access this data from the “School” or “SOS” columns from any of the ranking pages.

Check out The Big Board here.  As the season draws closer, we’ll be updating and tweaking the rankings on a daily basis. 

Who do we have ranked too high?  Too low? Fire up the debate in our message boards!

G.J. Kinne Leading Tulsa QB Battle?

Articles, Weekly Geek, 2009 Preseason
Posted 6/17/09 by Todd DeVries

Tulsa head coach Todd Graham recently spoke at a local charity event and stated the following regarding the Golden Hurricane QB situation:

“G.J. Kinne is the guy that’s leading a bit,” Graham said. “But we’re still far from deciding who the starting quarterback is going to be.”

Here’s a link to this brief story from the Tulsa World.  Is there anything to this?  Or is it merely a classic case of ‘coach speak’?  Who knows. 

One thing is for sure, The Annual Summer Tulsa QB Derby/Mystery is officially off and running.
