Sad that Michigan is kept out of a BCS bowl likely due to Alphabetical order... :fdown:

[psusnoop]

Terrible matchups :(

[JeffHCross]

Terrible matchups :(I told you, this is pretty much how it's going to be under this setup. At-large, shitty, bowls, unless you manage to pull a BCS bid. Almost no chance of a user bowl game (which I don't mind).


Sad that Michigan is kept out of a BCS bowl likely due to Alphabetical order... :fdown:It's horrible that the BCS rankings in game are such a mockery of the real calculation.

[psusnoop]

Yeah I know, just getting a W over central Michigan in the mienke car care bowl isn't fun but finishing top 10 has value so it works both directions.

[Escobar]

What are the Bowl Tie-ins? That's the question. May be the reason for some of the matchups, not enough at large bids.

[JeffHCross]

What are the Bowl Tie-ins?If you mean specifically for us, there are none. We're at the mercy of grabbing at-large bids from the BCS or that other conferences can't fill. The bowls follow the real life bowl tie-ins.

[Escobar]

I was asking about the cpu bowl tie-ins. That's why then. There are only three spots+NC.

[JeffHCross]

Sad that Michigan is kept out of a BCS bowl likely due to Alphabetical order... :fdown:If it makes you feel any better, the real calculation (which I know the game isn't doing) would be this:
Michigan: (1176/1625 (Media) + 1143/1525 (Coaches))/2 = 0.7237 + 0.7495 = .7366
Alabama: (1215/1625 (Media) + 1091/1525 (Coaches))/2 = 0.7477 + 0.7154 = .7316

Of course, the game doesn't have a BCS Computers Poll, nor does it appear to be using remotely realistic point values for the Top 25 (except that a team with all first place votes ends up with the right total), and it's not using them to calculate anything anyway.

[gschwendt]

What's the chance that everyone finishes their bowl games and we do offseason tomorrow night? I assume slim.

I posted it in the Vacation thread but I'll be out of town Tuesday night and beyond. I would like to at least recruit at least Week 1 and then also do position changes/player cuts.

[ryby6969]

Congrats Papa. Been a long time coming.


BTW, I will get my game in sometime this afternoon/evening.

[Papa LoneStar]

Thanks, Ryby....yes it has. Season 4 of NCAA 11 is about 9 Powerhouse seasons ago. After winning 6 out of 12 complete seasons during NCAA 10 and 11....the drought was killing my confidence....lol

[JeffHCross]

Thanks, Ryby....yes it has. Season 4 of NCAA 11 is about 9 Powerhouse seasons ago. After winning 6 out of 12 complete seasons during NCAA 10 and 11....the drought was killing my confidence....lol It only took having the all-OVR team to do it :D

[Papa LoneStar]

It only took having the all-OVR team to do it :D

[gschwendt]

From way you're talking, are you even going to have Dynasty Wire access?
I should be able to check in daily but I'm not sure there would be any certain times that I'd be available and certainly not for an extended period of time.

If I miss out on week 1, that's not a problem but obviously position changes and cuts are important.

[JeffHCross]

C'mon Texarkana! Texas, A&M, and Arkansas remain.

[Papa LoneStar]

lol @ Jeff

[Oneback]

I'll be playing tonight.

[Oneback]

I'll be playing tonight.

So a small update - forgot we had my son's open house tonight, just got home, I'll be playing tomorrow.

[JeffHCross]

I say this for a laugh, not to point fingers, but this might be one of our longer weeks this year. Certainly one of our longest Bowl Weeks.

[Oneback]

Looks like I'm the only one left. We'll advance tonight.

[JeffHCross]

Looks like I'm the only one left. We'll advance tonight.
Razor's still on the board, but I assume at this point he's still got personal business going on.

[psusnoop]

Advance!!! :)
