After an eventful season (and start of the offseason), it’s time to assign some points (using an on-the-fly scoring system of 1-5 points per pick) to our Fantasy Things Draft from last July, so let’s assign point scores to things like:

• Coaches dancing in the locker room

• UCLA QB Josh Rosen’s 2018 draft stock

• This year’s Iowa

• Beer being sold at college stadiums

• Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh continuing to feud with his brothers in the SEC

• Then-Houston-coach Tom Herman Coaching Rumors

• The insurmountable BS coming from College Football

• Hype for a recently unsuccessful Pac-12 team (say: Washington, USC, Colorado, etc.)

• The attrition of Ohio State after the 2016 season that saw a ton of Buckeyes moving on to become high round NFL picks

• Second guessing Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly

• Freaking out online over a southern QB’s girlfriend

... and much more!
