What's the best fantasy team you could assemble right now (1 Viewer)

Guys in my league did this a few years ago and it was a fun little discussion/timewaster. You have to put together the best fantasy team made up of current players, but you can only select players who all went to the same university. So, for example, if you pick Michigan, you can have Tom Brady, Mario Manningham, Braylon Edwards, etc...

You have to narrow it down to a "starting lineup" consisting of 1 QB, 2 RB, and 3 WR/TE (so it doesn't necessarily make sense to just pick a school based on the sheer volume of players they've sent to the NFL).

Which college would result in the best fantasy team?

 
Cal is one that comes to mind pretty quickly because you'd get balanced picks at each position.

QB: Rodgers

RB: Best, Lynch, Forsett, Vereen

WR: DJax, LaVelle Hawkins

TE: Tony Gonzales

K: Longwell

IDPs: Asomugha, Fujita, Cameron Jordan

I remember when Miami had the future NFL dream team in the early 2000s, but IIRC, there wasn't really a good QB candidate on that squad.

Yeah, there's no Miami QBs in the league, but I'm not entirely sure they couldn't compete anyways:Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Santana MossJimmy Graham (Or maybe Winslow or Shockey)Frank Gore, Willis McGahee
 
The mind immediately goes to the U but that would leave you with no QB

SEC schools would probably be great on IDP but incomplete on offense. Arkansas would have you loaded at RB but empty everywhere else.

I guess you have to start with a good QB and go from there.

UGA

QB: Stafford

RBs: Moreno, ??

WR: AJ Green, Hines Ward

TE: McMicheal??

man, this is tough

Wow, the TE production at Miami is incredible. Don't forget about Greg Olsen.Another one I just thought of is Pitt. Some of these players are a stretch due to transfering, although they did play ball at one time or another for the Panthers:QB: Flacco (transferred to Delaware), Tyler PalkoRB: McCoy, LaRod Stevens-HowlingWR: Fitzgerald, Jonathan BaldwinIDPs: Darrelle Revis, Shawntae Spencer
 
Florida would be pretty good everywhere but RB.

QB: Rex Grossman, Tim Tebow

RB: Earnest Graham

WR: Percy Harvin, David Nelson (breaking out on the Bills), Jabar Gaffney, Caldwell/Louis Murphy

TE: Aaron Hernandez

 
Tennessee seems a bit underrated... odd combination of boom or bust types

QB Peyton Manning

RB Arian Foster Hardesty

WR Meachem Denarius Moore Stallworth

TE Witten

IDPs Berry Mayo Haynesworth

 
Ole Miss is surprising decent:

QB: Eli Manning

RB: Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Dexter McCluster

WR: Mike Wallace, Michael Spurlock

IDP: Patrick Willis

 
Michigan----

QB: Brady, Henne, Mallett

RB: Minor, lol

WR: Edwards, Manningham, Arrington, Avant, Breaston

TE: none, would run 4 wr sets, lol

K: Feeley

P: Mesko

KR: Woodson

I dont need a RB cuz my line will give Brady all day to throw to a good set of WRs.

OLine - Jake Long, Jeff Backus, Jon Goodwin, Steve Hutchinson, David Baas

Then my D would give up no points.

Woodson, L. Hall, J. Hall, Harris, Woodley, Graham, Foote, Branch.

Then my coverage of my team would kill everyones...

I'd say this team would be the easy winner if they were all healthy.

Tennessee looks strong.My dark horse: Arkansas--utilizing the triple wishbone, my DMAC, Hillis, Felix Jones combo will run over you all day (nevermind I have none of the other positions).

Georgia Southern: Yea, rob Bironas is the only player in the league from there, but he could outscore some teams on some weeks.

Kansas State: Josh Freeman, Jordy nelson, Darren Sproles, and Daniel thomas.

Someone ought to set up a MFL league and plug in the top 32 or so and let it run all year and see who would win in an all-play league.

 
LSU:

QB-M.FLYNN

RB-ADDAI, RIDLEY, KEILAND WILLIAMS

FB-HESTER

WR-BOWE, LAFELL, D.HENDERSON, E.DOUCET

G-N.LIVINGS, S.PETERMAN

IDP also Desmond Bishop, Syd'Quan Thompson. WR2 is a problem but that will be solved soon with Marvin Jones coming out next year. Go Bears!
 
Purdue

QB - Drew Brees, Kyle Orton

RB - Kory Sheets, Can we dust off Alstot?

WR - Keith Smith and John Standeford were in camps this year, does that count? Brees could probably make them look decent.

TE - Dustin Keller, Kyle Adams (we need bodies at this point)

IDP - Shaun Phillips, Ray Edwards, Ryan Kerrigan (at least we can rush the passer)

 
Auburn has:

QB- Newton, Campbell

RB- Tate, R. Brown, Cadillac

WR- Aromashodu, Obomanu

No TE to speak of

Some good Defensive players. Dansby, Ratliff, Fairley, Spikes, Rogers

Not the best, but worth a mention.

No mention of Texas?

QB McCoy, Young

RB Charles, Benson, Ricky

WR Shipley, Williams (oof)

TE Finley

K Dawson

Some solid defensive players as well. Can find a list of current players in the NFL here, as of last year, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Longhorns_football

At the link below you can find a regularly updated list. Somewhere on the site they keep track of weekly performance as well. I think Texas with a healthy Charles wins this.http://www.texassports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/active-nfl.html

Hook Em'

 
Oklahoma:

QB: Sam Bradford

RB: Adrian Peterson, DeMarco Murray

WR: Mark Clayton, ?

TE: Jermaine Gresham

K: Garrett Hartley

IDP: Kelly Gregg, Curtis Lofton, Gerald McCoy

Close...

Illinois:

QB: Matt Schaub

RB: Rashard Mendenhall, Pierre Thomas, Mikel Leshoure

WR: Brandon Lloyd, Arrelious Benn

TE: Michael Hoomanawanui, Jeff Cumberland

K: Neil Rackers

IDP: Vontae Davis

Could be a contender if they had a TE

Edit: as is pointed out below, Schaub went to Virginia, my bad... replace him with Jeff George :excited:

USC:

QB: Mark Sanchez, Matt Cassell, Carson Palmer?

University of Spoiled Children

RB - R. Bush, McKnight, A. Bradford

WR - Steve Smith (PHL), Big Mike Williams, Damian Williams, P. Turner

TE - Fred Davis, Jordan Cameron

and if you don't think that is good enough, their O Line and DST will KILL the opposition

Kicker/Punter: Brett Kern

 
NC State:

QB P.Rivers

RB Andre Brown (practice squads count? :) )

Yuck. If only Tory Holt hadn't retired.

Defense is better:

DL Mario Williams, Willie Young

Keenan Allen!Trying to be unbiased, it seems like the two best teams in this thread are Cal and Tennessee, assuming full health for both teams.

QB: Rodgers vs. Peyton

RB1: Best vs. Foster

RB2: Lynch vs. Hardesty

WR1: D-Jax vs. Meachem

WR2: Hawkins vs. D. Moore

Flex: Forsett vs. Stallworth

TE: Gonzalez vs. Witten

Cal grades better at QB, RB2, WR1. Tenn better at RB1, WR2, TE. I'll call Flex a push, since both are pretty worthless.

Oklahoma State is one RB short of being interesting:

QB: Brandon Weeden

RB: Kendall Hunter

WR: Justin Blackmon, Dez Bryant

TE: Brandon Pettigrew

 
You could build an entire starting defense out of the IDPs Bama has in the NFL right now and it would probably be one of the better units in the NFL, but yeah.

 
If Flacco can count toward Pitt (went to Pitt before transferring to Delaware), they'd have a decent lineup:

QB Flacco

RB McCoy & D.Lewis/L.S. Howlings

WR Fitzgerald, J.Baldwin

TE D. Dickerson

ETA: Oops, just noticed that one was mentioned a year ago.

QB: Andrew Luck

RB: Toby Gerhart

TE: Coby Fleener

WR: Doug Baldwin, Greg Camarillo
