Anyone interested? I have played in a few in the past, some that were a lot of fun and very different from NFL fantasy as far as the set up.

This year I really just want to set one up for fun, no money involved. I want to test out the CBS website that offers it and see how much we can do and what not.

Scoring will be H2H, pretty standard fantasy football scoring as far as yards and TD's go, but I would finalize that once I have enough people.

I think they only let you have 12 teams total, so I am not sure we would want to use every NCAA conference, everyones teams would be pretty good. Maybe a Big Ten only league, or a Big Ten/SEC, or BCS only, we can iron that out later.

Let me know if any of you are interested

Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I would be interested too.

Didn't you try to get one going on here a few years ago? I wanted to do that one too but I think something fell apart at last minute.

I tried when CBS first introduced it but then they only let you draft the schools positions. Like you would draft Florida QB's or Oklahoma RB's. And I didn't want to play like that, I think now you can actually draft the specific players.

I've done it before and, as warning, be careful how you set it up.

I would suggest keeping it to 1 or 2 conferences because otherwise there are just too many players available and you end up with people literally dropping most of their team so that they can pickup whichever school is playing the weakest powder-puff squad that week (even in November where the SEC schools generally have an OOC game mixed in).

Yeah, I have played in multiple fantasy college leagues.

The best one I ever was part of had over 30 teams, that used every NCAA team. There was a cap on transaction to keep people from doing what you mentioned however.

Judging by the initial response I have seen I am leaning towards doing maybe a 2 conference league, Big Ten and one other BCS conference.

The rules and scoring are on the website, it's pretty standard. The player pool isn't that large, it's the MAC conf and the Big Ten conf. So that's like 25 teams total I think.

I picked my team and the only ones I've heard of are the OSU players. I wanted White or Ball from Wisconsin at #7, but both went right before me. Apparently we don't use a kicker but I drafted one lol so I'll have to pick up someone else I've never heard of.

Ditto lol

And after I left to pick up my car the auto pick took Pryor. I had more faith in it than that.

FYI, you may want to cut your kicker as we dont use that position. Also you have Eskridge from Minnesota and I think he left the team.

I believe your team name is Team 9. If thats not you then disregard, need to find out who "Team 9" is.
