Before we get to our daily spread of fantasy football information, I thought I would pass along an opportunity to the readers of this here fantasy football blog.

One of my favorite blogs, The Big Lead, is hosting a College Bowl Pick 'Em league with the potential of a generous cash prize for the winner.

The league will be hosted on Yahoo!, so you will need to sign in to join TBL's bowl challenge.

I know I usually set one up for y'all, but there is no way I can come close to that kind of generosity. Plus I only feel like joining one college bowl pick 'em this season with so much fantasy football on the plate right now. Go ahead, call me lazy.

College bowl games start soon (this week?!?), so make sure to get in and get your picks set before the season kicks off.

Back to your regularly scheduled fantasy football programming...
