Tons of data from the FCFI Expert league draft last night – 2QB format, hosted by MockDraft Central and MC Randy Burgess keeping the event on schedule.

Big hat tip to CFO Drew Smith (twitter @fcbdrew) as his team receives a lot of love from the commentariat at other sites.

YES! I am the #1 overall pick - show me Cammy money! Wait, COLLEGE FANTASY FOOTBALL?(Icon SMI)

Best comment so far? Daniel at CFFI “FantasyCollegeBlitz’s picks were pretty good. Took guts to skip Keenum.”

I might point to a different body part...round-by-round (PDF) and team-by-team below the fold!

Apologies for the formatting on the team-by-team – we have never found a nice way to present tables. If you want a hardcore spreadsheet from our quantitative analyst Matt Ryan, email vince[at]fantasycollegeblitz[dot]com.

Her is the draft roll for the 2011 Fantasy College Football Invitational Experts League. Format 2Q-2R-2W-1 flex-1TE-1K-1D.

We have always been humble about the work we do here at FCB – many wonder why we don’t post more often; we prefer to substitute quality for quantity. This is part of the reason that Drew has been on hiatus for the first two weeks after exhausting himself on the preseason projections and Cheatsheet Customizer.

That and food poisoning (he loves the sushi).

Breaking from the humility, I submit to you that both Drew and I lead our respective divisions in the only accepted fantasy college football expert league.

I will post more about my FCFI team, the odd way it came about, and how it was and continues to be a great exercise in “crisis management”. Read the rest of this entry →

MOCK DRAFT RESULTS GRID

The grand poobah of expert leagues kicked off Sunday Night – the live draft of the Fantasy College Football Invitational.  This year, we combined our longest standing league and its name with a several other expert leagues in the industry to form the grand-daddy league. A whopping 20 owners comprised the field  with each team selecting 20 players for a total of 400 players. Surprisingly, the draft moved swiftly and we were done in a little over 3 hours.

The starting lineup for the league consists of:

• 2 QB
• 2 RB
• 2 WR
• 1 TE
• 1 Flex (RB, WR, TE)
• 1 Defense
• 1 Kicker

My Fantasy College Blitz entry had the 20th pick in the draft (scroll WAY to the right), the lowest I have ever drafted in any league in any sport. My strategy going in was to get solid low risk running backs and wide receivers in the first 4 rounds.  After that, I would load up on high upside guys at those two positions the rest of the way.

If a top quarter back didn’t fall to me at picks 20/21, I knew that by the time my next picks came up at 60/61, at least 15-20 QBs would be off the board.  Therefore, I planned looking for value QBs later in the draft if that happened. The TE position is not very exciting so I planned on taking a few sleepers late. The defensive scoring is not strong enough to use anything more than a late pick and the same goes for kickers.

Pick 1.20

RB Kendall Hunter – Oklahoma St. (right, courtesy of SMI)

The Cowboys offense is going to put up a ton of points and Hunter is as a lock for Top 10 RB if he can stay healthy. Quickly adapting to his dual-purpose role.
