SBCOL NCAA13 Team Selection Draft

[gschwendt]

Draft opens now, however the deadline for the first pick is not until Wednesday night at 7pm CT. Based on team selections, I'll re-arrange the SBC and WAC (maybe CUSA) to fit these teams into two 9 team conferences.

For those without the game, you can go to http://teambuilder.easports.com and create a team, then choose one of the rosters of these teams as your base. It may not answer all of your questions but can at least give you an idea.

Here's the draft order (I used random.org):


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

[texacotea]

#7 you tried your best

[gschwendt]

Another option for anyone without the game or anyone stuck at work, you can look at rosters in this test OD I just created. Probably a little bit easier than looking on TeamBuilder.

Way to think of us. :up:

[JBHuskers]

Can I trade up in the draft? ;)

[Kwizzy]

How to make this sound positive....

Yay, I'm not last.... :))

[razorback44]

FAU or UMass? Decisions, decisions... :sf:

[gschwendt]

FAU or UMass? Decisions, decisions... :sf:
FAU wouldn't be horrible for the aspect of recruiting... definitely should have a solid pipeline into Florida. I imagine someone else is considering them for that... that plus I imagine Idaho or Akron are other teams that might fall to you.

[JBHuskers]

I bet UMASS and FAU are taken before the final pick.

[razorback44]

FAU wouldn't be horrible for the aspect of recruiting... definitely should have a solid pipeline into Florida. I imagine someone else is considering them for that... that plus I imagine Idaho or Akron are other teams that might fall to you.

Yeah I actually don't think either choice would be bad between those two.

Hopefully Idaho doesn't fall that far because I just did an OD with them. Although that would make my decision easier I guess.

[razorback44]

I bet UMASS and FAU are taken before the final pick.

I was wondering if people would take the three new teams early since it would be the first time anyone has gotten to use them. FAU for the Florida factor definitely makes me think they will go before the 11 spot.

[skipwondah33]

Looking over teams now, thanks for that post G

[skipwondah33]

Decisions..decisions. 3 teams on my list, 1 already has what I'm looking for on D for my scheme. The other 2 don't but have talented players around.

[texacotea]

make it already....geez :fdown:

[skipwondah33]

make it already....geez :fdown:Campus visits are almost over.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check out these teams last night with the Season Pass like I intended, so I'm doing it by the web.

[texacotea]

Someone must have won your heart over, you sure have spent alot of time with someone.....:P

[skipwondah33]

Someone must have won your heart over, you sure have spent alot of time with someone.....:PMan this has been a really difficult decision. Even with these low rated teams, alot of thought has gone into it. Posting my selection in 5 minutes

[JBHuskers]

Man this has been a really difficult decision. Even with these low rated teams, alot of thought has gone into it. Posting my selection in 5 minutes

Do you have the teams hats lined up and you're going to pick the one you're going to play with? :P

[skipwondah33]

Tough decision.

I will be taking over as head coach for the Texas State Bobcats

Whew!

I'm heading to Akron... get ready to learn the name Jawon Chisholm.

[JBHuskers]

:Memphis: for me.

[skipwondah33]

That were a handful of teams that caught my eye. Definitely Memphis, UTSA as well

[skipwondah33]

Nice pick with Akron too G...didn't even look at them, their field hurts my eyes lol

[JBHuskers]

UTSA was #1 on my board. I ranked five teams, and Memphis wasn't on there until Eric told me about their QB :D

[psuexv]

Don't you mean RB #44?

[psuexv]

UTSA was #1 on my board. I ranked five teams, and Memphis wasn't on there until Eric told me about their QB :D

He's going to be a stud since he's only a SO.

UTSA sold me on their young Oline. 4 Sophmores in the high 60s low 70s :)

[skipwondah33]

UTSA was #1 on my board. I ranked five teams, and Memphis wasn't on there until Eric told me about their QB :DThat was a seller for me too, along with their two 6-4 WR's and their LB's.

Then I seen that 4 of their 6 OLB's are Seniors and that would just wreck my 3-4 scheme with all Freshman having to play

[gschwendt]

Nice pick with Akron too G...didn't even look at them, their field hurts my eyes lol
They're solid just about everywhere except QB... he'll definitely be my handicap the first season. That combined with the fact that they're very young... lots of Juniors and Sophomores that start.

[Kwizzy]

I haven't really bothered to research teams too much. Once it gets down closer to my pick I'll have to check out the scraps you guys have left for me. :fp:

[JBHuskers]

Yep, put 11 in the box against G in season one :D

[razorback44]

UTSA was #1 on my board. I ranked five teams, and Memphis wasn't on there until Eric told me about their QB :D

I would double check whatever named roster that we use because he is actually not on the team anymore if we use one where they actually make personnel changes like luvtotha9's does. Someone would need to add him back if that was the case so you don't get surprised.

[gschwendt]

I would double check whatever named roster that we use because he is actually not on the team anymore if we use one where they actually make personnel changes like luvtotha9's does.We'll be using strictly named rosters... no re-ratings, player changes, etc. But yeah, Memphis lost their QB and were afraid Arkansas State would pick him up so they prohibited him from transferring to us. He instead went to Arkansas as a WR. Last year though, he couldn't throw a ball out of his shadow... they didn't throw a pass more than 10 yards downfield more than a couple of times.

[texacotea]

piss poor, my Top team is gone....someone let Ryby know he needs to pick

[gschwendt]

I don't have his number but if someone else has it and wants to text him...

Well that makes a little more sense as a WR. I couldn't figure out why he would transfer from a school where he was the backup to a school with 4 scholarship QB's on the roster. Didn't make much sense. He really should have gone to UCA if he was smart.

I'm glad I could crush someone's dreams! Whenever I first looked at their roster, I saw the QB and didn't give them much a second look. But last night tex & I were going with new teams we hadn't really looked at so I went with them. After I saw their roster in-game, I was sold. Added that they have pipelines to both Ohio & Pennsylvania, I should be able to pick up some good recruits as well.

Snoop does, get on it.

[Kwizzy]

Has anyone heard from Dawg? I'm dying here man! :D

[skipwondah33]

They're solid just about everywhere except QB... he'll definitely be my handicap the first season. That combined with the fact that they're very young... lots of Juniors and Sophomores that start.That is what I was facing if I went to one of my other choices. It definitely still is quite a bit of "talented" teams left for sure.

Figured I'd take a chance with Texas State. Their two RB's are solid, but their Secondary IMO is pretty good. Junior FS, then both CB's are solid.

QB isn't bad on Offense, and the 3-4 WR's will work in my scheme...should anyway. Won't have the game until Thursday so I'll check them out then

[Escobar]

Texas State's secondary is very nice. I run the 4-2-5 with them in a dynasty I started messing around. The first year I only played the game against UTSA, and their FS is a beast. He flies all over the field. The two corners are nice in coverage too.

[HairyDawg]

Dawg is taking FAU

[skipwondah33]

Dawg is taking FAUNice pick. That was another team I also looked at. LB's have some great skill sets, Secondary is quick. Love the TE too,

Thought about adding some 4-3 to my book

SCClassof93 is on vacation but he'll be back this weekend. He's headed to Moscow (Idaho).

[psuexv]

I guess that is that then. Let's get this thing rolling.

[gschwendt]

Once we have named rosters (queue spamming the rosters threads up top), I'll create the OD and send out invites.

Wait, what? We don't have rosters yet? I really thought someone of your clout Tommy would have a pre-released set :)

[gschwendt]

If we go with a straight East/West breakdown for conferences, here is how they would shake out... it's not final but thought I'd post as a possibility.

East
Akron - gschwendt
Memphis - JB
Middle Tennessee - snoop
Florida Atlantic - HairyDawg
UMass - Kwizzy
UAB - ryby


West
New Mexico State - jake
Texas State - skip
UTSA - psuexv
New Mexico - razorback
Idaho - SC
Tulane - texacotea

[psuexv]

That doesn't look bad.

[Kwizzy]

Looks good to me. So we're doing 2 seperate conferences right? Or are those 2 divisions of 1 conf.?

[psuexv]

2 separate conferences.

[gschwendt]

2 separate conferences.
Yeah... two conferences of 9 teams. That will give everyone 5 UvU conference games, 3 CPU conference games, 2 body-bag games, and 2 customizable games.

[razorback44]

That actually breaks up pretty well.

[psuexv]

Yeah... two conferences of 9 teams. That will give everyone 5 UvU conference games, 3 CPU conference games, 2 body-bag games, and 2 customizable games.


Since UTSA doesn't have any big boys on their original schedule. I'll take Texas and Baylor or Texas Tech or Texas A&M.

Would also like a Home and Home with Snoop and would be open for any other takers.

[skipwondah33]

[gschwendt]

The only problem with that conference layout is that it will ensure that everyone has 5 UvU games. While I'm one that I love lots of UvU games, I know that doesn't work as well with everyone's schedule. We could go with 3 conferences which would give everyone 3 set UvUs.

I would vote we try it like that but keep the option for some conference realignment if we need to. I would say that, at least at first, 5 UvU wouldn't be too much for me.

[BsktbllJk]

I'm open to watever, but I know you know my schedule is whack from august to February...less user games the better for me just bc someone schedule gonna be tough to line up with mine

[BsktbllJk]

And just throwing it out there I'm on vacation from 22nd-26th

[gschwendt]

If we went three conferences, here's how it would look...

North
Akron - gschwendt
UMass - Kwizzy
Memphis - JB
Middle Tennessee - snoop


Southwest
New Mexico - razorback
New Mexico State - jake
Idaho - SC
UTSA - psuexv


South East
Tulane - texacotea
Florida Atlantic - HairyDawg
UAB - ryby
Texas State - skip

[razorback44]

That looks good too. I'm down with whatever.

I'm currently in the middle of an epic game with my rival Arizona. Tied 17-17 halfway through the 4th. Hopefully I don't use up my one shot at beating them here and then get thrashed when we actually start.

I'd be good with that too. I'm never going to win my conf any way we cut it so it doesn't doesn't matter to me. #IsuckUvU :fdown:

[ryby6969]

I just hate playing the cpu. :(

[gschwendt]

I just hate playing the cpu. :(
If we went 3 conferences, I'd be willing to set it to a zero AQ requirement instead of two... that would allow you to have up to 7 UvU games.

[psusnoop]

I'd rather more user games as well but will go with the majority here.

[Kwizzy]

If we went 3 conferences, I'd be willing to set it to a zero AQ requirement instead of two... that would allow you to have up to 7 UvU games.

So you're saying we could either play 2 users OOC or the 2 body bag games?

[ryby6969]

I'd rather more user games as well but will go with the majority here.

I agree. I just do not get much enjoyment at all out of playing the computer anymore. I wish I did because it would be nice to run my own offline dynasty. :(

[gschwendt]

So you're saying we could either play 2 users OOC or the 2 body bag games?
Right... I'd probably require everyone have 4 total UvUs (3 in conference, 1 out) and then the other 3 OOC games you could either schedule all 3 as UvU games or you could put in 2 body-bag games and a non-conference rival, and so on.

I just know that a lot of people (myself possibly included this fall) wouldn't have time to play a lot of UvU games while also keeping the OD moving at a reasonable pace.

Yeah I think I'm for that approach. Gives everyone flexibility. I know with the wedding coming up in Dec I could use the option to play more or less.

[razorback44]

I agree. I just do not get much enjoyment at all out of playing the computer anymore. I wish I did because it would be nice to run my own offline dynasty. :(
I'm the same way. I usedto run 25-30 season offline dynasties before they made the ability to play OD's. Since then I don't think my longest offline dynasty has gone longer than 3 seasons.

I usually do not make it past 3 games in the first season! :D

[ryby6969]

If anyone wants a game to try out their team, I am on.

[skipwondah33]

I just know that a lot of people (myself possibly included this fall) wouldn't have time to play a lot of UvU games while also keeping the OD moving at a reasonable pace.Though I strictly only play UvU I agree with this.

I'm in 4 Madden LD leagues at another site/community that I'm in which if real life obligations don't take all of my time, then those usually do. So the 3 conferences work for me.

[skipwondah33]

I usually do not make it past 3 games in the first season! :D+1 Hahaha, yep same here.

[JBHuskers]

I'm down with the 3-conference set up....enables me to play my two biggest user rivals :up:

Yeah I don't think I completely mentioned it but I'm ok with the 3 conference set up as well.

[skipwondah33]

My game should be arriving today so hopefully at some point this evening I'll be able to take my Texas State team online

[SCClassof93]

I am back from vacation. Game was on the table from Amazon, played a little before bed. Major suckage is my name at this. Anyway I would love a practice game before we start if possible. I will be on and off all day. If you see me playing tiger just message me and I will switch. OK, now I am going to get on and check Idaho out :glare: :sick: :D

[skipwondah33]

Played a half a game with G. Love my kick returner. In my 2 games with them he's ran back 2 KR's

I like Texas State. Still undecided of what Offense I'll run. It will be a stock book as I don't feel like going through a custom book really.

My Defensive playbook is already set though I may add another formation in it and remove a few.

[JBHuskers]

Tommy, you wanna sticky this, or at least the first post?
