or Week 10 on the Head2Head schedule.

As you read this I am flying to Denver for a little skiing and finish the week in Boulder for the Oklahoma State battle against the Colorado Buffaloes. Huss, Daniel and Drew will provide the steady hand as we all drive to the fantasy playoffs. Let us wrap up the week’s advice in a huevos rancheros burrito.

QB – Daniel sees your Lubbock game and raises you UTEP at UL-Lafayette for the stats.

RB – Drew battles through flu to guide you to some handy handcuffs.

WR – That Seji Ajirotutu sleeper pick was helpful, I hope you got on that play.

DEF – USC is just plain ridiculous in their stinginess as our #1 unit on the BlitzIndex. Also, check out Dr. Saturday’s deconstruction of the Trojan D against Cal.

H2H – Guest writer Topher Dean brings the knowledge of his efficiency rating.

GAME OF THE WEEK

Oklahoma State at Texas Tech – nice Rivals.com video breakdown here, Matt Doyle looks inside the Pokes huddle at the Tulsa World. This battle has the added flavor of being exciting to both fantasy and reality college football fans alike. I highlighted the disturbing trend of Dez Bryant not statting against top-flight competition, but his lack of stats were made up for from other less heralded receivers like Jeremy Broadway and Damian Davis. The nagging thought on my brain is that the defenses may be more important to the end game than most would think, I like the upset 38-31 in favor of the Cowboys.

Strange BCS scenario – let’s say that Alabama loses at LSU (not likely) and Penn State sputters against the stout Iowa Hawkeyes defense (more likely)…does that let the Cowboys jump to #1? Unlikely if Texas crushes Baylor, but even given that I think Pokes are likely to get to number two.

SHAMELESS PROMOTION

We have a weekly guest spot on ESPN Radio Las Vegas on Thursdays at 5PM ET, Drew representin’ and leads the Fantasy College Football Invitational, and I rest at fourth in the Heisman Pundit Fantasy Challenge. Next week we will propose to the Obama regime to consult on his plan to bring a playoff to college football.

All the latest fantasy college football information wrapped up tightly, topped with spicy rojo sauce and served on earthenware in the home of the tortilla Lubbuck, Texas.

The fantasy story of the day is the ankle injury status of uber-wide receiver Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech. While listed as probable for the biggest game in Red Raider history, he has been seen favoring the ankle for two straight weeks. Stay tuned also for CMU QB Dan LeFevour who is probable but limited with an ankle injury as the Chips visit Indiana.

Did you know Crabtree and Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley are the only players in the country who have caught a touchdown pass in every game this season?

THIS WEEK’S ANALYSIS

QB | RB | WR | DEF |  INJURIES | Head2Head

With Jason Roberts eponymous notes from around the nation, you need no other resource to feel confident of your information advantage.

I will focus on weather and injuries – and another great rap joint, BOY-EEEE. [falv'd]

WEATHER

Boise is having its earliest snow on record, thankfully they are playing in Hattiesburg, MS versus the Golden Eagles. Major snowstorm in the Northwest.

Weather.com has a wrapup of all the games here – two games stand out as Texas Tech hosts Nebraska but there is a 40% chance of precipitation, and Utah visits Wyoming where altitude and snow could slow down the Utes.

Sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph are possible from New Mexico, Arizona, and California northward to Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. Gusts could exceed 70 mph in a few locations.

INJURIES, Agenda-free

Wisky TE Garret Graham upgraded to probable after two weeks out with ankle issues. Read the rest of this entry →

Some of our favorite Fantasy College Football ingredients all wrapped up tightly for your tailgate consumption. Taxes are included, just ask the dancing F1 driver what happens when they aren’t.

WEATHER UPDATE

Rain pretty much covers the entire Pacific and mountain Time Zones today, says Weather.com. Perfect day to exercise your east coast bias. This has a direct effect on the FANTASY GAME OF THE YEAR, as we have an 80% chance of precipitation in Tulsa with most of it this morning.

Rice at Tulsa

yes, I am more excited about this one more than Florida State at Miami…

CBS College Sports TV, Kickoff 8pm ET – there are some hard feelings between the schools as Tulsa Coach Todd Graham left Rice after one year in 2006. The Rice band spoke their peace in 2007 (what I would pay to see that on YouTube!), and per the excellent and underappreciated Owl blogger at the Houston Chronicle this game is the first brick in constructing Coach David Bailiff’s rebuilding program.

NewsOK talks to Hurricane coach Todd Graham about the matchup and his old QB Chase Clement. All the relevant stats collected at Tulsa World, a pretty good CF rag.

Record time – Clement and WR Jarett Dillard are the all-time leaders for TD connections with 42 TDs. Dillard is the active career leader with 50, and also has time to blog for the NY Times. TU WR Brennan Marion set an all-time record last year for yards per catch (31.9), and is keeping up the same pace in 2008.

Once I return from the SMU at UCF showdown (UCF a 14 pt favorite?), I will be live blog the heck out of this one…STAY TUNED.

RANDOM NOTES

Superfan Neil Young says to grab the New Mexico State defense if you need a free agent – Alcorn State was added late this year after the Nicholls State cancellation, the Braves have been shut out twice already and Steve McNair don’t play there no more.

Austin Collie is a god – small G.

Five undefeated Big 12 teams and most of them on the road in conference play this week – My Oklahoma State bias is well chronicled, but seriously this will likely be the big national story.

Latest Injury updates

Leading NCAA returning rusher Eugene Jarvis of Kent State is OUT again, Navy QB Special K still nursing the hammy and is questionable, Wisky TE Garrett Graham doubtful, with Emmanuel Moody out for the Gators expect Percy Harvin to get more touches from the backfield which is just a ridiculous thought. PSU RB Evan Royster may be limited by a shoulder.
