Early college football DFS picks September 26:

We have 11 games for the early college football DFS tournaments on Saturday. One game was already lost to COVID for the weekend with Wake and the Irish being postponed.

We really have to keep an eye on this. The Houston-Baylor game was scratched on Friday last week. We also lost one more during the week. It’s nice to be able to do early research, but we really have to watch for players or entire teams to be lost to COVID concerns this year.

This slate will be more entertaining and will attract more than the casual fans with the SEC joining the party this weekend. These are all conference tilts with the exception of Cincinnati and Army. This is going to be a fun one!

I had a couple of big lineups last weekend that were usurped by late scratches. We really have to watch out for that this year. If you can’t be around before lock to make a quick switch, it’s probably best to sit it out. COVID has changed DFS as well. We lost two games between Friday and Saturday morning.

The scoring for DraftKings college football is much the same as it is for the NFL with one notable exception: the super flex! That means aside from the flex position which is RB/WR, you can add another player from any position! Want four running backs? Go right ahead! Five wide receivers? Sure! Two quarterbacks? Of course! Just stay under the salary cap!

The super flex replaces the defense, which is essential in college football. This is all about the offense. College football DFS scoring realizes that!
