Of course, that actually depends on what league setup you happen to be involved with, but for the most part, the playoffs are here! This is where fantasy dreams are made or broken. Its painfully obvious that the No. 1 seeds in playoff tournaments do not always win the title. Hopefully, as the top seed, you have positioned yourself well for a deep playoff run because having the best roster during the regular season means nothing come playoff time.

The best way to prep for the college fantasy playoffs is to do just that: Prep. Consume content. Collect as much information as possible. Look at last year's box scores. Watch the boring games. And especially dive deep into the schedules. Do not be afraid to pickup a player up with a terrible matchup this week in order to stock pile quality starts down the road. In leagues where the playoffs start this week, owners are really building three rosters. Each week needs to function as an independent section of games and so addressing every starting spot for three weeks all at once can offer players a huge advantage.

That said, here's the best help Athlon can offer for Week 11.

Quarterbacks — Better Think Twice

Russell Wilson, NC State (Clemson)
Yes, Wilson is a top-15 fantasy quarterback this year and most weeks those are must plays. The Clemson Tigers, however, rank sixth nationally against the pass, allowing a ridiculous 159.3 yards per game. They also hold opposing quarterbacks to the 13th worst passer rating in the nation (99.82). Wilson posted a very weak sub-5 point fantasy point game against the Tigers last year. He passed for 92 yards, rushed for 26 more, scored zero touchdowns and tossed one interception. All signs point to a low ceiling for Wilson.

Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M (@ Oklahoma)
Johnson barely completed one third of his passes against OU last season (11 of 31). He threw for 162 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. And that was at home. The Sooners held Nebraska to 39 yards on only seven completions last week. They held Kansas State to 215 yards passing two weeks ago. Todd Reesing threw for 224 yards and three picks three weeks ago. Even Colt McCoy was held to 127 yards. The combined touchdown to interception ratio for those four games was 2:5. 

Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State (Iowa)
Over their last five, the Hawkeyes are allowing 165 passing yards per game. Of those five, only Indiana has less than five wins. The TD:INT ratio of Iowa's opposing quarterbacks over that span was 4:9. Of those starting quarterbacks, Tate Forcier rushed for the most yards with 26 and Ben Chappell was the only other to have positive rushing yards. Add to it that the Hawks are allowing 17 points per game in Big Ten play and the fantasy upside is limited.

Tough matchups no matter which side you are on:

Andrew Luck vs. Matt Barkley (Stanford @ USC)
Jonathan Crompton vs. Jevan Snead (Tennessee @ Ole Miss)
Jordan Wynn vs. Andy Dalton (Utah @ TCU)
Jacory Harris vs. T.J. Yates (Miami @ North Carolina)
Tate Forcier vs. Scott Tolzien (Michigan @ Wisconsin)

Quarterbacks — Deserves A Second Look

Will Hudgens, Memphis (UAB)
The Tennessee game aside, Hudgens has had a decent run of late. He threw for 313 yards and two scores against arguably the conference's best defense in East Carolina last week. He tossed 262 at Southern Miss two weeks ago and threw three touchdowns against UTEP in what was really his first extended action of the season. UAB has the worst passing defense in the nation, allowing 325 yards per game. The Blazers are also allowing nearly 33 points per game this season. Good signs for Hudgens. 

Nick Fanuzzi, Rice (Tulane)
The Rice quarterback had the best game of his short career last week with 250 yards and three scores on the road against SMU. Tulane isn't much better on defense than SMU. The Green Wave are allowing 37 points per game and are 116th in passer efficiency defense (158.15). Look for the Owls to build on their best offensive output of 2009. 

Trey Revell, UL-Monroe (Western Kentucky)
The Monroe signal caller has battled injuries all season but bounced back last week to have the best game of his season. He threw for 282 yards and two scores while rushing for another 30 yards (two below his game average of 32 rushing yards per game). There isn't much to be said about Western's defense. The Hilltoppers are last nationally in pass efficiency defense (177.22), total defense (513 ypg), scoring defense (44.6 ppg) and are 119th in rushing defense. Revell should have his way.

Other decent options:

Adam Weber, Minnesota (South Dakota State)
Kyle Parker, Clemson (NC State)
Jeff Van Camp, FAU (Arkansas State)
Kevin Prince, UCLA (@ Washington State)

Running Backs — Better Think Twice

Brandon Wegher, Iowa (@ Ohio State)
This one is a no brainer. Cameron Heyward and the rest of the Buckeye defensive front absolutely dominated the Penn State O-line last week. They held the Nits to 76 yards on 30 carries and Evan Royster finished with a season low 36 yards rushing. The Bucks have allowed 14 total points in the last three games combined and without Ricky Stanzi, Wegher has little chance of producing a good fantasy game.

Charles Clay, Tulsa (East Carolina)
Clay's usage, while always very unique and seemingly random, has significantly increased over the last three weeks. It culminated with a four touchdown performance last week against Houston. Clay has 31 carries and 7 receptions over those last three games and scored a total of five touchdowns. Last season against ECU, Clay touched the ball six times for 29 yards. ECU is C-USA's 2nd best total defense and 3rd best scoring defense. ECU held Tulsa to its second lowest scoring output (24 pts) of the 2008 season.

Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown, Michigan (@ Wisconsin)
Here are the Big Ten rushing outputs against Wisconsin this season: 90 yards (Michigan State), 57 yards (Minnesota), 97 yards (Ohio State), 65 yards (Iowa), 60 yards (Purdue) and 63 yards (Indiana). Those six teams combined for three rushing touchdowns. This could be a shootout, but without certainty about Minor's injury issues, fantasy owners should probably stay away.

No brainer benches:

DeMaundray Woolridge, Idaho (@ Boise State)
Eddie Wide, Utah (@ TCU)
Anyone for South Carolina, (Florida)
Graig Cooper, Javarris James, Damien Berry, Miami (@ North Carolina)

Should see limited upside and tough sledding:

Toby Gerhart vs. Joe McKnight (Stanford @ USC)
Montario Hardesty vs. Brandon Bolden, (Tennessee @ Ole Miss)
Toney Baker, Jamelle Eugene, NC State (Clemson)
Jeff Demps and Co., Florida (@ South Carolina)

Running Backs — Deserves A Second Look

Delone Carter, Syracuse (@ Louisville)
When the matchup is there, Carter has been great. As in 95 yards, four TDs against Maine or 170 yards and three scores against Akron. Against good competition, for the most part, he performs like a Syracuse runner should: Poorly. Last week, Carter bucked the trend however with a 143 yards rushing against Pitt. Louisville isn't Pitt. Expect a good day from Carter and he is available in most leagues.

Jared Tew, Air Force (UNLV)
This team is averaging a staggering 61.6 rushing attempts per game in 2009. It finally appears that Air Force could have a primary ball carrier and Tew is that guy. He had 102 yards on 25 carries last week and UNLV has been bad all around this season.

Warren Norman, Zac Stacy, Vandy (Kentucky)
Norman is putting together one of the nation's best true freshman seasons. He is a threat to score in the return game and has scored rushing and receiving touchdowns this season. He is leading the SEC in all-purpose yards and is 11th nationally. Against the last-ranked SEC rushing defense of Kentucky (188 ypg allowed), Norman and even Stacy could see plenty of room to run.

Other sneaky plays this week:

Shawnbrey McNeal, SMU (UTEP)
Shane Vereen, Cal (Arizona)
D.D. Kyles, MTSU (UL-Lafayette)
Derek Coleman, Johnathan Franklin, UCLA (@ Washington State)

Wide Receivers — Better Think Twice

Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Iowa (@ Ohio State)
Without Stanzi on the road against the Buckeyes? C'mon man!

Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M (@ Oklahoma)
Might reach end zone if it's a blowout but upside is limited.

David Reed, Utah (@ TCU)
Has been inconsistent and Frogs are out for revenge.

Kendall Wright, Baylor (Texas)
Last week's 10-149-2 was great...against Missouri.

Tandon Doss, Indiana (@ Penn State)
Ben Chappell will be running for his life and ground game should offer little balance.

Chris Owusu, Stanford (@ USC)
Needs big play to score points and USC held ASU to 266-1-3 last week.

DeVier Posey, Ohio State (Iowa)
Is still best option for Pryor but Iowa's secondary is stingy.

Roy Roundtree and Co., Michigan (@ Wisconsin)
Big game last week will not be repeated against tough UW defense.

Wide Receivers — Deserves A Second Look

Robert Arnhiem, Western Michigan (@ Eastern Michigan)
No Juan Nunez against lowly EMU squad so could see big numbers.

Joe Adams, Arkansas (Troy)
A few weeks removed from a stroke, he is back in fantasy mix.

Scotty McKnight, Colorado (@ Iowa State)
Caught 24 passes over his last four.

Nelson Rosario and Terrence Austin, UCLA (@ Washington State)
Everyone has a chance to score against Wazzu.

Ronald Johnson, USC (Stanford)
Burner should pick up slack from Damian Williams injury.

Jermaine Kearse, Washington (@ Oregon State)
Posted career best 7-114-2 line last week.

Nick Toon, Wisconsin (Michigan)
Career high in receptions last week and is go-to target on third down.
