Saturday at 8pm starts the biggest Big Ten game of the season until December 3rd and the odd thing is we just may see Wisconsin and Michigan State playing for all the marbles in Indianapolis again for the B1G Championship.

Our long standing relationship with U-Sports.com goes back to when Fantasy College Blitz started in 2005 – I remember talking with founder Nathan Karp about the copyright issues of using college football player names and his defense of those nasty NCAA “cease and desist” letters inspired me to gather up the gang to get this site going.

Tier 1 – Top Options

Juron Criner, Arizona – We expect Criner to be a tick above the next three names on the list.  All of them should tally 1,100+ yards through the air.  However, Criner will get more endzone targets and should collect about 13 TDs.  Draft him first from the Pac 12 WRs and he’s worthy of being a top starter for your overall team.
