Mike Hurcomb of CBSSports.com, the 2008 champion of our expert league Fantasy College Football Invitational, talks about the industry and the innovations in the CBS Sports commissioner product.

Then after the break we quickly breakdown each conference in the country for Week 3 – lots of love for the service academies and Florida Gators. Find his archives here.

Game 1 Recap: Fantasy College Blitz (1-0) def. CFF Insider (0-1) 129.36 to 119.40

Best Player: The best player for the FCB group was clearly Michael Floyd (pictured left courtesy Icon SMI) of Notre Dame, who only caught 4 balls, but in doing so caught 3 touchdowns and racked up close to 190 yards.  For CFF Insider it was Taylor Potts, the new signal caller for Texas Tech, who despite throwing three picks, accounted for 4 scores.

Disappointing Player: Arrelious Benn was overrated by some entering the season, however no one could have predicted an injury during week one, which almost crushed FCB’s chances.  For CFF Insider the disappointment was Brooks Orbson, who could only muster two catches for Ball State against North Texas.

Who to Watch for Week Two: Kendall Hunter only got 9.80 points in week one against a tough Georgia defense.  Watch him double that, possibly in the first half as Oklahoma State plays Houston Saturday.  For CFF Insider watch out for Potts, who will go up against Rice.  Rice allowed Joe Webb to look like Tim Tebow in week one, so expect another massive night for Potts and the Red Raiders.

For the uninitiated, FCFI stands for the Fantasy College Football Invitational and Jeff Erickson won the whole thing in 2007.

For the newest edition of BlitzRadio podcast, Jeff and I discuss his 2009 draft, the triplets at Oklahoma State, trends to expect and everyone’s favorite topic, Sleepers.

In between we cover his college tour when he saw Barry Sanders play live, my wife’s famous top shelf scouting ability of Bobby Reid (17:15 mark) and his daily talk show The Rotowire Fantasy Sport Hour on Blog Talk Radio.
