http://www.yardbarker.com/content/team/161 Recent articles about the Virginia Tech Hokies en-us As I begin to prepare for the all out football preview that I'm going to do for the Tar Heels, I figured I would start by talking about the head coaches in the conference and tell all of you who I think is the top of the list and who is on the bottom.

AthlonSports.com kicks off the college fantasy conference previews with a look quarterback battles, sleepers and freshmen to watch.

Rest assured with injuries, additions, and subtractions since February, that WILL BE updated in the near future. But in getting my ducks in line for my new Top 25 (should be issued within the next 2 weeks) I decided to first rank each conference Top ...

Kelly had a solid 2007 season, and the return of Cullen Harper at quarterback should give him a chance to post career-best numbers.

New Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson is breaking in a new offense, but the Yellow Jackets aren't short on options at running back. Additionally, the conference gets a boost with the return of Clemson duo James Davis and C.J. Spiller.

This should be beneficial to those fantasy players that play fantasy college football that uses offensive and defensive units like Sporting News with their game. I will throw some players out there on teams that you could also use in individual player leagues, too. I'm using various methods to determine my rankings which include, but are not limited to, returning starters, skill level on that side of the ball, balance, schedule strength, etc. Having inexperience or lack of skill on each side of the ball can have a direct effect on how they do on either side of the ball, so each intrical part is important and could explain why they are performing well or not. Also, these are my rankings, and in no way reflect or necessarily pick how I predict teams to finish in the standings of each conference in terms of won-loss records. Here we go.....

My top 25 for the 2008 season takes into account returning starters, including the vile creatures known as punters and kickers. In addition, I've factored in each team's schedule and coaching changes.

Now, when I claim EA's NCAA Football 2009 preseason poll is the most "relevant", my tongue is, of course, firmly planted in cheek. I guess it would be better to say that, in a perfect college football world, NCAA 2009's rankings might as well be just as relevant as the AP or Coaches' polls. It is a dream I have.

The latest QB to fall on the wrong side of the Law is Peter Rose, he's facing felony drug charges for marijuana. He was busted after a 10 month undercover investigation. Rose is a first team QB and was voted VA player of the year in 2007, he's a three-star athlete prospect. He and six other students have been arrested. Rose is charged with two counts of distribution of marijuana.

Rose, who is currently sitting cozy in the county jail, was charged with two counts of the distribution of marijuana and two counts of distributing drugs within 1,000 feet of the school. Wasn't there another QB associated with Virginia Tech that was trouble? Oh ya, Marcus Vick.
