Fantasy Football Rankings- RB

Hey guys, I'm back. In your fantasy football draft, your first pick is normally a RB. Sure, you can grab a Fitz or Andre Johnson later in the first round, but normally you go RB. Here are my RB rankings for this year. The color-coding are tiers. Questions, comments, e-mail me at ivarngizteb@gmail.com
1. Maurice Jones-Drew, JAC 
2. Adrian Peterson, MIN
3. Matt Forte, CHI
4. Stephen Jackson, STL
5. LaDanian Tomlinson, SD
6. Chris Johnson, TEN
7. Michael Turner, ATL
8. Frank Gore, SF
9. DeAngelo Williams, CAR
10. Brandon Jacobs, NYG
11. Steve Slaton, HOU
12. Marion Barber, DAL
13. Clinton Portis, WAS
To be continued, need to do more research. In the end, this will probably have 50 RB's on it.

College Football Playoff, MLB analysis

I'm working on the college football playoff. I did some tests today, the formula looks good. It's pretty mathematical and hard to explain, but it'll turn out pretty good. And it could probably be used to predict winners in college football. As far as the wild card race, in the AL the Red Sox and Rangers are the only real contenders. A look at the start of  a daily series of possibly playoff-bound teams:
Yankees 73-43 6.5 over Red Sox in the East 
The Yankees have a 2.5 game lead over the Angels for the AL lead, and they look like a solid bet to make the playoffs. I don't think they're built for the playoffs, as they don't really play as a team, and don't have the sheer force to win without playing as a team.  
Playoff chance: 85%

College Football Playoff/ Baseball Picks

I'm developing my own absolutely pwnsome college football playoff system. After the first "itteration" I'll post the rankings. Note that those are definately NOT the real rankings. For now, here are my baseball odds and picks:
TEX -115
CLE -105
I'm confused on why this is so close. Texas is the obvious pick in my mind.
KC +149
MIN -169
Tough one. Minnesota has a slight advantage in my mind.
Detroit -104
Boston -116
Tigers are finally a favorite *happy dance*. Bucholz is not what he has been in past years, and Verlander is the best pitcher in the AL when he's hot. I think Verlander will be on his game here, Tigers are the pick.
San Diego +185
Milwaukee -215
This line rather confuses me. Sure, SD's pitcher hasn't pitched yet this year, but Parra has a 6.26 ERA and the Brewers are on a losing streak. SD all the way.
Philadelphia -139
Chicago Cubs +119
The Cubs are in a slump, and the Phillies aren't a good team to play when you're in a s lump. Phillies all the way.
Pittsburgh +210
Colorado -250
Colorado is not good enough to get a -250. Even if they had Zach Greinke pitching (even though he's a royal) and they were playing the Nats, they shouldn't get -250. Pirates.
Houston +132
Florida -152
I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick Houston. They know it's crunch time, and I think they can deliver. Watch out for them to make a Rockies-like run down the stretch.
Washington +138
Cincinnati -158
I'm going with the Nats, as I think that the winning streak wasn't a fluke and they have some promise. The Reds would be a good team to show that against.

Well, I guess I'll go back to working of college football now, cya later!
