College Fantasy Football talk with host Keith Needham, Jeremy "Butterball" Vancuren, and friends!
The guys are back after taking a month off from the CFF scene and there's plenty to talk about on this "comeback" episode! The guys start with the release of conference schedules and highlight some "favorable" fantasy defense squads and some fun match-ups during the opening month! Next the guys talk coaching changes (Sark, Malzahn, Heupel, etc) and big transfer news (Arik Gilbert, Alan Bowman, etc), while highlighting some recent changes/transfers that should have fantasy relevancy in 2021. Lastly, the guys chat about returning "super seniors" who are taking advantage of the NCAA's blanket waiver for all players to have an extra year of eligibility in 2021. All that, and much more on this week's episode of the CFF Commish's Corner!
We thought this episode would be all about National Signing Day, and there's still a lot of recruiting news in this one, but EA Sports done hijacked our plan with their news release that it would be brining back the beloved college football franchise some time in the near future! Butterball and I take a stroll down "memory lane" and recall the countless hours we wasted playing the annual iterations of NCAAA Football back in our college days and how we're really looking forward to the game's return! But we eventually go get around to talking recruiting, but the storylines were all too familiar... Alabama is a football factory, Ohio State is good at recruiting, as is Clemson, and the Sooners continue to dominate Big 12 Country. Shocker, I know... All that, and much more on this latest episode of the CFF Commish's Corner!!
The guys are back after a brief hiatus and there was plenty of news to discuss! We start with discussing the Tennessee Volunteers' acquisition of a couple of key Golden Knights, and we also talk PAC-12 and outgoing commish, Larry Scott. We then take a look at the batch of underclassmen who have officially declared for the 2021 NFL Draft and play a game of "Who Should've Stayed", plus we also hone in on some interesting transfer portal news, including the BREAKING NEWS of Eric Gray officially becoming a Sooner during the middle of the pod! All that, and much, much more on this week's episode!!
Alas, the bittersweet end is here! The guys recap a high-scoring, yet ultimately anti-climatic end to the CFB season which saw the Crimson Tide roll yet again, and Nick Saban win this 7th title! The guys also discuss some coaching changes that should have fantasy relevance in 2021 and also preview some offseason pod projects they have in the works and are excited about in the weeks and months to come. And while we know it's cliched and completely played out, we couldn't resist dropping our "Way Too Early" 2021 preseason rankings for this final pod of the 2020 CFB campaign!
Just one more game left in this crazy 2020 season! The guys are back to recap the NY6 bowl games--including a big Cotton Bowl win by the Sooners--and talk Buckeyes and 'Bama for all the marbles on Monday (1/11) night! The guys also talk about the Crimson Tide's dominance in the college football awards market, the "bar room brawl" at the end of the Armed Forces Bowl, and much, much more! Plus, we gotta give a big shout-out to our man Chad Volk, our 2020 CFFL Champion, who is now only the 3rd person to lift the trophy multiple times! Congrats Volk!!
Happy New Year from the CFF Commissioner's Corner! The guys are back to recap an impressive debut from the Big 12 in bowl games and also preview/pick the other NY6 bowl games later this week! The guys make their picks for the CFB Playoff matchups and also make some "bowl week" fantasy picks for our DFS listeners out there! Looking forward to an exciting slate of bowl games here over the next 3 days!!
Merry Christmas from the CFF Commissioner's Corner Pod! The guys recap the CFB Playoff Selection Committee's choices, whether Auburn's new head coach is a "good fit" for the SEC, and whether LSU & Michigan's coaching staff shake-ups will save Jim Harbaugh and Coach "O". Plus, the guys show some love and give some time to the two men competing in their CFF League's championship game, Chad Volk and Brady Miller! Good luck gentlemen!!
The guys are back as the CFF/CFB seasons come to a dramatic conclusion! They talk conference championship weekend, whether Florida should've dropped further in the Playoff poll, and college football's national signing day. The guys also talk "coaching carousels", player transfers, and whether the Rose Bowl will host a semifinal. All that, plus one more week of CFF fantasy picks (oh so bittersweet)!!
The guys are back--although later in the week than usual--to discuss the BIG10 bending over for the Buckeyes, the LSU "dumpster fire" in Baton Rouge, and whether any team outside the Top 6 of the CFB Playoff rankings has any chance of making the Playoff. The guys give an update on their CFF League, plus make picks/best bets for Week 15 in college football this weekend!
