As the title of this post suggests, the first two rounds have been concluded, and if I were to sum up the draft in one word, that word would be FOOTBAW!!!!!SEC!!!!!!!FOOTBAW!!!!!!!MONEY!!!!
Here are the results:
| Round-Pick | Conference | Commissioner | Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | Conference #1 | BC Interruption | TEXAS |
| 1-2 | Conference #2 | Black Heart Gold Pants | FLORIDA |
| 1-3 | Conference #3 | Team Speed Kills | ALABAMA |
| 1-4 | Conference #4 | Big East Coast Bias | OHIO STATE |
| 1-5 | Conference #5 | House of Sparky | USC |
| 1-6 | Conference #6 | Red Cup Rebellion | LSU |
| 2-7 | Conference #6 | Red Cup Rebellion | MICHIGAN |
| 2-8 | Conference #5 | House of Sparky | NOTRE DAME |
| 2-9 | Conference #4 | Big East Coast Bias | FLORIDA STATE |
| 2-10 | Conference #3 | Team Speed Kills | OKLAHOMA |
| 2-11 | Conference #2 | Black Heart Gold Pants | PENN STATE |
| 2-12 | Conference #1 | BC Interruption | GEORGIA |
Not a lot of golf schools in there.
This really shouldn't be a surprise though. The most effective fantasy draft strategy has always been to take your power with the first 2 picks (usually RB-RB in football), and this draft is no different. I was hoping there would be the equivalent of the one dude who always likes to get cute and take a WR and a QB with their first two picks, but alas, everyone created a financially solid base for their conference. Hopefully someone will out-clever themselves and take the equivalent of a tight end in the next couple of rounds.
So there are a lot of schools available, obviously. Who would you take next, and when/where do you think Oklahoma State will go?
Note: There will be a slight format change for the rest of the draft. From now on we will just be picking at will and reporting the results as often as we want. The method of drafting proved to be much quicker and easier than we anticipated so we should be able to get through this whole thing in the next few weeks.

would love
to see OSU go into that conference with texas and georgia. A couple of fun fanbases and teams we have some recent history with.
I think the Pokes are about a 4th round pick, so any day now i expect to see our name be called.
I will be curious to see if we get taken before A&M.
That is all.
It could be fun to get into the "will we be taken before school x" game
A&M is a great one too. Historically A&M would be the more desirable program/school, but Oklahoma State is kind of a “sexy” pick right now so I wouldn’t be floored if they went before the Aggies. I have to think the OSU is for sure the 3rd or 4th pick from the Big 12… unless someone has a huge boner for KU basketball, or over-values Mizzou.

Your current Men’s and Women’s D-1 golf champions say hi.
Yes, I am as desperate for football to start as the rest of you.

Georgia (who I can't believe was picked in the top 20) is kind of a golf school...
Texas has some titles, so does Florida, and Jack Nicklaus went to Ohio State. Don’t see anyone taking Augusta State or 18 title winner Houston anytime soon.

Two time national champs Augusta State sniff at your individual title
and eagerly wait for the phone call notifying them of the 3rd round pick. Amirite?

So far conference 3 is the all red/white league (aka asshole fan league)
And conference 6 is the “we want les miles/fuck les miles league”. I love how Michigan is riding on reputation still. It will be at least another 5 years before that train wreck starts to get sorted out.

Riding on reputation?
They were the most consistent football program in the country for over 40 years before they decided to shake things up, they come from a populous state, have great academics and athletics. And despite their struggles on the football field the last few years, their athletic department is still bringing in more money than all but 4 or 5 schools.
Furthermore, they don’t have the issues that schools like Ohio State and Southern Cal are facing right now, and they have one of the largest and wealthiest alumni bases in the world. I think one could have made a decent argument for Michigan ahead of every school other than Texas.

Conference 5 has a strong rivalry already
in USC/Notre Dame. I’m interested to see what school will fit in with those two in the next round.

The next two rounds are the most interesting
Just about anyone would have picked those 12 schools. Although I too was surprised UGA went in round two, I would have thought a high third round instead.
FSU is too high
I love the Noles, but they don’t create near the revenue of Wisconsin, Tennessee or Auburn.
After 2 rounds
I think that House of Sparky is killing it getting two national teams who are rivals to boot. Speed Kills could have a very interesting conference if it can get Auburn in the 3rd (even if it has to reach to do so) and Oklahoma State later on like in the 6th.
