Never too early for fantasy

I love fantasy football. For the NFL, that is. It's a little depressing at how bad my friends from high school and I are at waiting to renew our league annually, officially christening our new league page for the coming year.

Last year, we made it to June.

I don't play college fantasy football. Never have. But these guys do. And they run CollegeFantasyFootballInsider.com, apparently for people like me. They recently released their fantasy rankings, and it's definitely an interesting take on the conference. Remember, these aren't based on skill necessarily, but more of a forecast of production.

In case you didn't know, generally a point is given for every 10 yards receiving or rushing and six for touchdowns. In some leagues, quarterbacks receive only four points for touchdowns. In some leagues, receivers earn a point or a fraction of a point for each reception as well.

Here's how they rank the Big 12's offensive talent:

3. Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M

7. Robert Griffin III, Baylor

8. Blaine Gabbert, Missouri

21. Taylor Potts, Texas Tech

24. Landry Jones, Oklahoma

25. Garrett Gilbert, Texas

6. Daniel Thomas, Kansas State

8. Kendall Hunter, Oklahoma State

18. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma

19. Baron Batch, Texas Tech

34. Kendall Wright, Baylor

39. Scotty McKnight, Colorado

50. Uzoma Nwachukwu, Texas A&M
