With Week 3 now in the books in our incredible College Fantasy Football league I thought maybe it was time to post our league rankings. There are some obvious surprises, some people to point and laugh at, and some things that never just change.
12. Fat Joe (0-3 with 306 total points. Ray Graham was suspended 4 games since Joe didn't add a HS Recruit therefore committing a roster violation. EJ Manuel and Mike Gillisee are solid along with the Alabama D but you're not winning with 3 solids and a bunch of role players. This isn't the MAC.)
11. Scuba (0-3 with 318 points. Couple of tough luck losses as Scuba has some pieces with UCLA QB Brett Hundley and RBS Todd Gurley and Duke Johnson. Chad better be on upset alert this weekend as Scuba's squad can put up some big points)
10. Zach (1-2 with 264 points. Coulda had a week 1 win but Orwin Smith got hurt, just added Arizona QB Matt Scott, but little production on the bench and from Eddy Lacy make this a 3 win maximum squad. I think he watches this before he drafts)
9. Joe Dub (1-2 with 283 points. 7 spots in his line-up average 10+ points but nobody has breakout potential which limits his wins but makes him a tough game weekly. We dont often hear from Joe Dub.. is this why?)
8. Perrins (1-2 with 331 points. Self-proclaimed "GM of the Year" didn't even know the FA rules for running out of bidding points. Oops. Traded Geno Smith for Cody Hoffman who was then triumpeted as an All-American candidate. Decided to keep Matt Barkley even though Geno will score more points over the course of the season. Traded for Le'Veon Bell who looks human entering the Big 10 season. All smoke and mirrors here)
7. Josh (1-2 with 394 points. Actually has the 2nd most points in the league behind the #1 team but only 1 win to show for it. Maybe that's the reason he's going on some detox diet.. to try to clear things up and get rid of the excess chunks that help a probable win become a loss. No clue how he's going to focus this week after learning about atoms, neutrons, protons and electrons and needing to study up for his English lesson next week. Apparently also didn't feel the need to roster a K this week, Lawler's reaction.)
6. T-Raz (2-1 with 294 points. Just stole Geno Smith from his Spirt Squad parter, Perrins in which some league members were calling secretly via email from a revoking of the trade pointing out, probably correctly, that it reaks of collusion. He's actually the one that is campaigning for Cody Hoffman as an All-American, which, of course, makes you wonder if he understands football despite last year's league title.)
5. Brian (2-1 with 322 points. Solid pieces on the bench. Aaron Murray at QB, McCombs and Jamison at RB and Justin Hunter at WR. These guys don't really strike fear into your heart but Jamison had about 829 carries last game, Hunter is rounding back into form and Murray could have a 300+ yard 4 TD game at any time. The team fits his personnel as Coach Brian never gets too up or too down)
4. Cherns (2-1 with 374 points. Since coming to the league and guaranteeing victory every year some thought this would be the first year he just let his play do the talking (while not even near championship caliber) and it had gone that way through 3 weeks.. suddnely, a conversation about the little things in life (like his stature) got his brain moving and emails spewing out. Somehow he babbled something about a butterfly flapping wings in China and that'd propel him to a league title. Not sure if he got it out of a fortune cookie or if he just didn't sleep last night because he was up working so hard; rumors persist the rest of the league wishes he'd take Vince McMahon's advice)
3. Crass (2-1 with 385 points. Carried by his RBs Stepfan Taylor and Joseph Randle he is again near the top of the league. Randle and Taylor have byes this week so this is a huge week for his WRs and maligned QB BJ Daniels and he might need to do something crazy, invent a new way to win perhaps? In an effort to carry his team to victory without Taylor and Randle, Crass made an interesting move purchasing a home in Medford, WI where the power of the Red Raiders might will him to victory)
2. Chad (3-0 with 354 points. Not the most points but tied for the most wins. Ball control with the 3-4 DT Zone blitz and the Hop Splash are causing havoc and have been Chad's style since Madden 2004 and nothing appears to have changed. QB Denard Robinson, who was trade bait earlier in the season but nobody wanted him, has rebounded to lead the squad averaging over 34 PPG so far. Kenny Hilliard, DeAndre Hopkins and Terrence Williams have helped and recently acquired Shawne Alston, Miss State D and Allen Robinson only add to the weapons.)
1. Billy (3-0 with 501 points. Booster Billy is back and without mercy and some call his roster "THE MOST ILLEGAL THING I HAVE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS". Roster currently has 5 spots averaging over 20 PPG including Braxton Miller at 41! De'Anthony Thomas was nearly traded before the season started, but I am guessing Booster is glad he didn't make the move. Even while being stuck at the office for 60 hours a week, working the QBs up in Sturegon Bay to putting up Cam Newton like numbers, Billy still finds time to dominate the league. This reign may have no end.)
