The state of Michigan has five FBS universities located inside its state lines.

• Michigan
• Michigan State
• Central Michigan
• Eastern Michigan
• Western Michigan

In 2008, Western Michigan and Michigan State both went 9-4 in their respective conferences. Central Michigan went 8-5 and tied Western Michigan for second in the MAC West. Eastern Michigan and Michigan went 3-9 in their conferences.

We expect improvement from both Michigan and Eastern Michigan in 2009, hopefully.

Regardless of won-loss record, however, there’s no doubt that cheerleaders from each school are a bunch of hotties. Thanks to our buddies at College Football Sidelines - home of the best photos of college cheerleaders - for their assistance in digging up some of these photos.

In college fantasy football, tight end seems to be the least valuable offensive position. In fact, some college fantasy football games don’t even include the tight end position in starting lineups.

It’s true that tight ends are a poor man’s wide receiver, and most of them are completely dependent on a high octane passing offense and a top-tier quarterback. Tight ends that play on teams with a mobile quarterback can see their fantasy value reduced even further because of their need to block.

The top two players in our tight end rankings for 2009 college fantasy football have high profile quarterbacks throwing them the ball. They also play in pass heavy offensive schemes.

We had a request from a site visitor that checked out our list of NCAA Football 10 Player Ratings last week to do a follow up blog post that includes the top 5 at the rest of the football positions.

While we typically only like to talk about football video games as they relate to the world of fantasy football, we are always happy to oblige the simple requests of our fellow college football fans.

The debate rolls on about whether or not NCAA 10 ratings are helpful for picking a winning team in college fantasy football, but there could be something to learn from evaluating college football offensive lines and defense/special teams for college fantasy football.

See below for the top five players at each non-fantasy football position in NCAA 10. Player name, school, and overall player rating follow.

In fantasy football, a general rule of thumb for evaluating wide receivers goes like this:

• “The better the quarterback, the more valuable the wide receiver.”

Now, it is true that having a talented wide receiver on a team can increase the value of a quarterback. However, since most wide receivers are dependent on the quarterback getting them the ball, wide receivers in fantasy football have a strong dependence on the talent of their quarterback and prevalence of passing in the playbook for fantasy value.

Typically, the primary target of the top rated quarterbacks can be found near the top of wide receiver ratings. However, the best wide receiver in college fantasy football heading into 2009 catches passes from the 14th top rated quarterback. That top wide receiver? Dez Bryant of Oklahoma State.

So, it should be no surprise that wide receivers in the pass-happy Big 12 dominate our preseason college wide receiver rankings for 2009 fantasy football.

College fantasy football is different than NFL fantasy football, and that fact could not be more evident than when you evaluate the running back position.

During a typical NFL fantasy football draft, about 90% of draft picks in the first two rounds are going to be running backs. In stark contrast for college fantasy football, only about 40% of draft picks in the first two rounds are going to be running backs.

That doesn’t mean the running back position isn’t important, however. And in 2009, there won’t be a more important running back to the success of your college fantasy team than Ball State’s MiQuale Lewis.

Our first edition of the 2009 college running back rankings for fantasy football are now available.
