Sucks that Colorado St had no land for us to take this past week.

But Vandy has a nice little chunk of Tennessee and Kansas ready for the taking this week.

Like it...

It's basically the board game Risk.
kinda except without connecting areas. In risk you can only gain touching areas. here you can gain areas without getting near them

I'm disappointed that Northern Illinois doesn't occupy Nebraska.

After all they beat Nebraska in Lincoln and Nebraska lost @ Oregon.

If anything Boston College should occupy Nebraska, no?

Yeah, I kinda don't get that one, either...why isn't it entirely Clemson?

Because teams lose territory and it's kind of like the belt, you have to play the right teams at the right times.

Clemson lost all it's territory to Pitt at one time.

Oregon took their territory first. Nebraska could beat an undefeated Wisconsin team and take all their territory though

Okay, then why aren't there about 40 teams listed as having some kind of territory at the end of the year, since there are about 40 bowl game winners? :noidea:

Yeah, yeah, I know "it's for fun!"...I'm just a data analyst, I have a high need to make sense of charts and graphs

What might be cool is a version where once you lose, you are out. And if you lose to a team that already has a loss, the counties all go to closest team still in it(each county individually).

Alabama probably would have won it all last year in that type scenario, since they were last to lose.

But it would lead to a map that grows more, but the eventual winnner is always going to be the last team to lose.

Which is really stupid. Provo is south of Salt Lake City, UW just beat BYU, so why doesn't UW own that part of Utah?

Because you don't win any territory for a team that has none.

Alabama didn't get anything from Colorado St this past weekend because Colorado already took it.

Because BYU had already lost it's land to LSU.

So Arizona St will occupy Nebraska next week?

I get the rules. I just don't think it makes any sense.

They can make up any rules you want, but it's like kids playing cowboys and Indians or whatever. "That doesn't count 'cause I already shot you."

And then obviously the territories weren't right to begin with. Wisconsin should have been the whole state, obviously. There are more Texas fans than Baylor fans even 5 minutes outside of Waco. And so on.

It's not like that at all, but if you don't like it - then just don't follow it. It's just a little thing for fun.

If they win, yes.
And then Wisconsin will destroy Nebraska but not gain anything, because they won't play another team on ASU's schedule, even though they would kill ASU as well.

Makes no sense.

You'd have to beat anyone who has beaten Oregon or Oregon themselves. A bowl game would be your only opportunity if bowl games are included in this.
