Daily Blog • August 3, 2010

It has come to my attention that many of my most avid readers also play college fantasy football, and this sure seems like a match made in heaven. Statistical analysis and prognostication, my specialties, are the key components of a successful college fantasy football campaign. And as we continue to provide the most thorough and accurate college football analysis, the loyal readers of PhilSteele.com can also look forward to a weekly look at the top college fantasy football players across the nation similar to what we did last year. (Check the blog archives). We’ll provide the data needed to compete in your BCS or conference-only league, and with the help of my friends CollegeFootballGeek.com you’ll be privy to the insider information needed to dominate and hoist the trophy at season’s end.

Here are CollegeFootballGeek.com’s 2010 College Fantasy Football Player Rankings - Preseason

The college football preseason kicks off this week with fall camps opening up across the country.  Another rite of August is the planning of fantasy football drafts, both of the college and pro variety.  Aren't familiar with college fantasy football? It's the same concept as the pro game except much MORE FUN!  Higher scoring games, more players to choose from, and games nearly every night of the week!  With the NFL lockout looming in 2011, now is the time to jump on the college fantasy bandwagon!

To help you prepare for your college fantasy draft, below is a snapshot of CollegeFootballGeek.com's preseason player rankings.  

For complete coverage, visit CFG's Draft Central page.

We invite you to give college fantasy football a try in 2010!
