College Football Preseason Predictions

College football is right around the corner, with the season beginning beginning Thursday with exciting games such as Marshall v. Ohio State and FAU v. UAB (also Pittsburgh plays Utah in what is honestly kind of an interesting game). Then, things really get interesting starting Sunday. With that in mind, here's some predictions heading into this season:

Radical Top-10 By-Position Cheat Sheet

A couple weeks ago, I posted my Irreverent 150 (which I'll update this week), and while I wouldn't necessarily advocate everyone drafting based on my hunches, it was at least how I would draft in a standard non-PPR league. I'm going to take the concept a step further here, and post the "Radical Top-10" lists here. It's not necessarily how I would draft, but how I'd almost like to draft if hunches were my sole consideration.

Stay For a Nightcap! - Welcome to the Party, Pal

Carlos Gonzalez wants in on this NL Triple Crown race talk, but will Omar Infante have the last say?

10 Team Keeper Auction

I play in a keeper auction league each year with some friends.  It's a league for money, but there are no so called experts in the league. I'm not sure if my observations on this type of league will help people out, but I'll give it a try.  We get to keep two players from the previous season.  The scoring rules are also slightly different for QBs, with 5 points for a td pass and 1 point/30 yards passing.  It's a 10 team league with rosters of 2QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K 1TeamD and four reserves bought at auction.  Another four players are drafted after the auction.

12-team SOFA Auction League (First Attempt at Auctioning)

A series of complications left RotoWire with no representatives available for this auction. Except for me. Someone who hadn't done one before.

RotoWire Staff Auction League

The RotoWire Steak League switched to an auction format this year, but this auction league has actually been in existence the last few years. It's a 12-team league, $200 budget, 10 starters: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR flex, WR/TE flex, TE, K, Team Defense. 7-man benches.

We did the auction on ESPN's auction software (which is pretty slick) last night.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:
My NFBC Recap
I have never been one to hold up to peer pressure well. Since Peter, Jeff, and Chris did a NFBC challenge, I had to join the cool kids and do one too.

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
