Did you switch it from CBS to ESPN? The invite I got was for a CBS league.

Got the search working....I'm wondering if work's IE8 is already getting outdated :D.

But what is the password? It wasn't in the e-mail.

So how does this work? Can multiple people pick the same players? I'm assuming you pick players week to week, too, right?

I was actually wondering the same thing. What's the point of having the option to pick All Conferences and a specific conference for your entry?

I think, the way it works is everyone has all the players available to them and they can only pick a player once during the year (so you want to pick someone that's gonna have a monster game against someone and so on). That was my understanding of how college FF worked, but I could be mistaken.

- It says the league will only accept entries using the same conference set-up my entry has and I have it set to All Conferences.

- Actually, I think you can pick whomever you want each week. I'm looking for confirmation on that though. It will lead to shoot-outs, but it will also mean everyone is competitive each week and shouldn't lose interest nearly as quickly as can happen in professional Fantasy Football.

Got it, thanks.

Should be interesting, I like many others here have not done a College Fantasy Football league so this should be real fun.

Coach Kernzy for the win :nod:
cdj had one hell of a great last week to only come up 4 points short.
That was fun guys. Hopefully I get to defend my title again next season.

Congrats on the win! At a quick glance, my week 13 total of 229 was the biggest week any of us had and is the only reason the final score became close.
