Happy Friday! I hope you all enjoyed the National Championship game last night - like many of you I'm sure, I definitely thought Texas had a shot as they started to make things more interesting in the 4th quarter. Though all I could think about for awhile there was how impressive Texas' backup QB was and how I couldn't even imagine my Northwestern Wildcats maintaining so much talent on the bench. Man, playing the game at different levels for sure.
Anyway, back to the NFL. It's been a few days since I've mentioned how psyched I am to be going to the Super Bowl courtesy of Buffalo Wild Wings, so I thought I'd bring it up again lest you all think I've become blase about such a gigantic coup. Trust me, within about an hour or so of waking up every morning, I gleefully think to myself, "I'm going to the Super Bowl!" But time now for today's links...
- Plenty of rankings still being cranked out in FF land:
- Athlon/Grogan Postseason Player Rankings
- RotoExperts' Wild About Wild Cards
- My article this week for the Bruno Boys provides some data to help you make your playoffs lineup decisions for RBs, WRs, and QBs. Take a look at opposing defense rankings and average fantasy points/game for all of this weekend's players.
- I'm also seeing lots of interesting write-ups about the rushing and receiving matchups in this weekend's games:
- FFToday.com provides solid commentary on the running and receiving games in Inside the Matchup: Wildcard Weekend.
- Razzball takes a crack at this as well in Wild Air Offense and Greatest Ground Game Preview on the Interweb.
- More matchup thoughts from Football Outsiders' Mike Tanier on the Fifth Down - love reading anything that Tanier writes. Definitely top reads of the week as always: Saturday's NFL Wild-card Matchups and Sunday's NFL Wild-card Matchups.
- Looking for thoughts on the 2010 season? SI's Fantasy Clicks Year-End Spectacular is full of early rankings for next year with commentary plus sleeper and bust thoughts.

Yeah, but you need to camp out and find a ticket. lol.
Any ideas on how to obtain access for the Playoff Challenge games on NFL.com/fantasy? Yes, I have the required username and password combo. I can see my account info. But when I try to log in, it always kicks me out and says my username and password are not valid. I've tried getting help from the NFL.com tech guys, but they have not responded to my requests. How can they get away with such a terrible user experience on their Playoff Challenge website?
Bigboid - I'm sorry to hear this...hmm. I know my husband had trouble with something like this at first, thought he had a username and pword already set up but NFL.com didn't seem to think he did. So he created a new one, which sadly is my best advice. Other than bother the crap out of NFL.com's tech guys until they respond. :) I've got your e-mail address I think so I'll try sending you an invitation in case that somehow makes a difference.
Sara, thanks! I eventually called the 800 number provided in one e-mail regarding usernames and passwords I had from NFL.com. Turns out, my previous account registration was with CBS Sports, which runs the NFL.com League Manager. Yes, I had to re-register specifically with NFL.com. They could certainly do a much better job at making the distinction obvious. Thanks for your help. I'm now in your league, as The Salarymen.
