After using three different QBs last season, the Dawgs will start Matt Stafford (1390 PaYd, 5 PaTD, 9 PaINT, 153 RuYd, 3 RuTD) and look for a little consistency out of the position. Even with the rotating QB situation, UGA was able to win 9 games. Stafford should be improved and gunning for the post season.UGA has been RBBC University the past few seasons. Kregg Lumpkin, Brannan Southerland, Danny Ware, and Thomas Jones combined for 1,432 RuYd and 16RuTD.

He is just hoping to start the season on the team, much less see playing time.

We would say it is never a good idea to hire the high school coach of the #1 QB in America just to land the kid, then run the ball all season long. But that was last season, and what matters now is who is going to hand the ball off to one of the nation's best RBBCs.

He even claims "these are the best scholar-athletes in the country." Um, scholars? Maybe. Athletes? Not so much. Well, except maybe Kellen Kiilsgaard, who had nearly 40 total TDs last year

Man, what we wouldn't give to have this Cyclone-style comforter set.Fantasy College Imact: The Cyclones went 4-8 last year, which should be a great lesson learned for us fantasy owners. The school can suck, but the players on that teams can be fantasy studs, regardless. Case in point, returning QB Bret Meyer was a fantasy powerhouse amassing 2,546 PaYd, 12 PaTD, 12 INT, 166 RuYd, 6 RuTD last season. He obviously is not giving up that starting job in his Senior campaign.As far as the RB position goes, the top two RBs are gone. Bring in 4-star recruit Jamicah Bass, who we feel he will be the

Fantasy College News: The guys at FireChuckAmato.com got exactly what they wanted last season: Amato gone. Now it's Tom O'Brien's team. If we were betting guys, we would be willing to put money down that coach O'Brien will have a better record with NC State this year than last year under Amato. With some high-powered offensive guys coming back and an offensive-minded coach in the ranks, NC State looks to put up some big numbers.QB Daniel Evans surprised everyone and had a

Fantasy College Impact: Oregon State is only losing a few seniors at the skill positions this year, but there are two key graduations in QB Matt Moore and TE Joe Newton. Jake Gelakoska will have at least a year to learn as rising sophomore Sean Canfield has the inside track
One comment before we go any farther: Baylor athletics is undergoing a makeover. The university will break ground on the Alwin O. and Dorothy Highers Athletics and Academic Complex and the Simpson Athletics and Academic Center. This $34 million complex with help to better integrate the athletics department and football program into the campus environment for the first time in the history of the school.
