Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

are there even CFB fantasy leagues? I do know that the fantasy football teams along with the online/app gambling has really made the NFL explode in popularity. NFL is more popular than it has ever been.

I think CFB fantasy stuff exists, but it's not strongly popular. 

One of the biggest problems is that with 130 FBS teams and a complete lack of parity, there are just too many players and too many lopsided matchups. One of the things that make NFL fantasy interesting is the relative scarcity--if you're playing in a 12 team league, the number of "superstars" dries up quickly so you really have to think about your draft to make sure you get someone good. With college fantasy, and quarterbacks specifically, you have too many teams like the old school June Jones Hawaii teams, or the Mike Leach "air raid" teams, where these teams aren't actually all that good and the QBs mostly pedestrian, but they put up massive stats. 

NFL fantasy football is a pretty solid product, and much of what makes it so completely breaks when you try to translate that to CFB. 

maybe we should start a fantasy league limited to only B1G & SEC players. would probably be a much better product and make those two conference even more popular. 

P4 teams only would work......or honestly, I'd just do B1G + SEC + ND/FSU/Clemson/Miami - 38 teams

And like with fantasy baseball having an innings cap, you could have a pass attempts cap at 500 or 600 or something for a season.  So you only get points up to that ceiling.

It may take a step or two more than a log in and play NFL fantasy game, but it's completely doable.
The toughest part now is all the player movement.  But that's not a dealbreaker.  

And I don't think college football fandom is that far behind the NFL in terms of number of fans, it's just that so many people like both.  And honestly, thanks to religion, people tend to do less errands on Sundays, so that means you're doing them on Saturday....during college football.  So many wind up having more exposure and growing their allegiance more to NFL than college.

And if I could get any damn time freed up from producing orders of my WN game, I have so many versions I could create - so far, I only have normal, annual teams and all-time teams.  I could do all-conference teams for each season, all-decade teams, all-decade conference teams, ect.  All-American teams for each season....the list goes on and on.  

The variety of college used to be magnificent.  But it has already become so homogenous lately.  The consolidation of conferences, the near uniformity of offenses (spread option), etc sucks.  It's akin to the late 70s where everyone was running the wishbone, even hold-outs like Bear Bryant wound up running it.  But thanks to BYU then Miami, the passing game started to spread and some diversity happened into the 90s.  Still had option programs in the 90s, too.  But then thanks to Meyer and RichRod, the shotgun spread option swept the country and I'm sitting here waiting for the next thing to get us out of this monotony.

Rant over, I guess.

Fantasy Note:  The leading receiver (yardage-wise) in the SEC had only 1 TD.
