Big Tennn!
There are Bo Dever days before FOOTBALL. You know what that means. Because you know the number of a walk-on receiver on Michigan's deepest receiver depth chart since the super-surprising reverse guy was Calvin Bell.
You have great and powerful football knowledge, but it's still Dever until you can use it to establish yourself the greatest expert on college football in the vicinity of other people watching it. Here's an outlet you can try until then.
This a reminder to fill out your Week 1 fantasy team with our daily fantasy football partners, Draft Kings, and that those who outscore my Big Ten (except the tight end) fantasy team get $5 off the MGoStore.

More Wacky 1st Week Things. As you'll note above, starting wide receiver (and Seth's HTTV breakout on offense pick) Jehu Chesson didn't make the cut, but Jaron Dukes did, and he's head of now-available Norfleet and Darboh ($3,000 is the bargain bin for WRs).
The most expensive guy available is Oregon State's Sean Mannion, because he's a football slinger in a high-tempo passing spread about to commence his quest to obliterate the yard totals of every USC artillery piece ever, and his opponent is Portland State, which last year was 79th in FCS in (sack-adjusted) pass D, at 5.97 YPA. FWIW the NCAA took App State off its FCS stats but they would have been a bit worse than PortSt, at 6.14 YPA.
