WEEKLY PAC-10 PREVIEW
This is the first week of big conference rivalries, with “The Big Game” (pictured) and the Apple Cup taking place. Both of these games have a lot on the line. Stanford needs the win to make a bowl game, and Cal wants to take back the Ax. For the Huskies & Cougars, a win alone would be big for recruiting and help build the future of each program. Oh by the way, Oregon State has to travel down to Tucson to take on the Wildcats in order to keep their Rose Bowl hopes alive. You can bet the Trojans will be glued to the TV during their bye week as they root for Arizona to pull off the upset.
The Dawgfather came close to another perfect week, posting a 4-1 record. The Wildcats couldn’t come through for me, but at least “The Gronk” played well enough for my fantasy team to get me into the semifinals of the playoffs. My season record sits at 30-5 (.857) and now I must motivate my Huskies to perform as well as I am, and bring the Apple Cup trophy back to the west side of the mountains.

Week 13
Posted 11/21/08 by The Geek

Week 12 was another strong one for the Geek. We nailed our Pocket Protector Pick and went 4-1 against the spread. We reviewed this week’s games and have to admit the lines are pretty tough. We think we found a winning six-pack.
Last Week:
Straight Up: 5-0
Against the Spread: 4-1
Pocket Protector Pick: Correct. Notre Dame survived a late Navy rally.
Season Stats:
Straight Up: 83-29 (74%)
Against the Spread: 59-52-1 (53%)
Pocket Protector Picks: 9-3 (75%)

Posted 11/19/08 by The Geek
Not much to say about tight ends, defenses and kickers. They’re the necessary evil of college fantasy football. However, in the fantasy playoffs they could be the difference in winning and losing.
There are a handful of good tight ends like Rice’s James Casey (picture, Icon SMI) that you plug into your lineup every week. Defenses - just play the one with the best matchup. Kickers, well, don’t get me started on kickers…

From a fantasy perspective, there’s nothing better than a crazy MAC shootout on a weeknight in late November. We had one of those last week when Buffalo and Akron went into four overtimes with the Bulls prevailing 43-40. James Starks (photo, Icon SMI) played like a man possessed, carrying the ball 37 times for 151 yards and 3 TD’s and catching 13 balls for another 90 yards. 50 touches people! 50 touches! We had Starks ranked as our #3 RB last week, where does he fall in this week’s rankings?

Still alive for your college fantasy football crown? For those of you that survived the first round of the playoffs without Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell or Chase Clement - congratulations. Now your studs are back in the fold and all have outstanding matchups. The big question this week surrounds Tim Tebow. His game against The Citadel game is a tough one to measure. Will Tebow play more than one half of football? If not, can he put up 25-30 fantasy points in one half? It’s a tough call. One guy that is not tough to figure out is Tulsa’s David Johnson (photo, Icon SMI). He should light it up against Tulane on Saturday.
See where Tebow and Johnson are ranked after the jump...

What a wild week it was on the left coast. You had Cal playing with Oregon State (and making USC fans anxious), until The Beav’s pulled away in the second half. Stanford made those Trojan fans go from anxious to nervous as the Cardinal went into the half tied with USC. But just like The Beav’s, USC rolled in the second half and put the game away. Another team that rolled in the second half was Arizona, after being rolled over by Oregon in the first half. “Slick Rick” Neuheisel (pictured, Icon SMI) came back to the Montlake strip for the first time since 2003, and walked out hugging his family in victory. How ‘bout those Sun Devils? It will take some devilish magic to get them into a bowl game, but they kept those hopes alive with a shutout victory over Washington State.
