You have to be kidding me, I steadily keep dropping in the rankings. Hell I started the season ranked #6 and beat the #4 ranked team then, now I'm almost back where I started despite not losing lol

I think your ranking is due to the fact there are 4 user controlled teams in front of you that are doing equally (if not better) than you, and you've got Florida State nipping at your heels.

#1 Texas
#2 Wisconsin
#3 Oklahoma
#4 Penn State
#5 Va Tech
#6 Florida State

#14 Michigan

#20 Miami

I hope to be up there soon, but I have a mountian to climb in Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State in coming weeks.

[psusnoop]

This is going to be very interesting with so many different possibilities that could play out.

[Oneback]

The only possibility I see is Michigan taking down Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State...although once I awake from my dreamlike state I see that will not happen. The only game I think I even have a remote shot of winning is versus Wisconsin and thats only because its a home game for me.

[psusnoop]

I don't know about that, while I do appreciate the vote of confidence in my team but I know your going to be much improved with Michigan compared to our last meeting which ended what? 7-6 I think.

Whats better than winning? lol By point margin?...ok I'm averaging 43 and giving up 12 a game...and thats trying to be kind to some of the teams I'm playing, games could have been much worse.

We are all just about playing the same type quality of teams, granted some have played user games but those who haven't still have leap frogged 4-5 spots. And hell you will be past me probably at some point.

[psusnoop]

I really do not think that point margin matters. I've seen it actually work the other way to be honest.

I think with PSU at least, I'm getting props for beating #1 Bama earlier in the year while I was ranked outside the top 15. As I continue (hope to) to win, you'll see the pollsters probably give me a little more credibility as the weeks move along.

[skipwondah33]

I know it doesn't matter, was simply reaching with that one because its the only thing I can think of

[Oneback]

The only thing that I can thing of is quality of win, ie. they have winss over higher ranked opponents. It will all work itself out in the end.

[gschwendt]

I know it doesn't matter, was simply reaching with that one because its the only thing I can think of

The good news is so long as you win, you should jump up in the ratings with Texas & Oklahoma facing off this week.

[skipwondah33]

Its ok, now we're "chip on our shoulders" Virginia Tech haha

[psusnoop]

[psusnoop]

Big game with that Texas vs Oklahoma match up. That one is certainly getting my interest level up. The old Red River Rivalry is going to be an interesting test for both teams.

[Oneback]

Be nice if someone would record the game.

[psusnoop]

That would be. I think I'm going to do all my user games and post them on here for everyone to see.

I would just love to stream it live but I'm not sure that is even possible, or what else I need to do to make that happen. (I know it is possible, I was watching someone doing that with the Demo but I still don't know how or what I need to do that or how much work that will take)

[skipwondah33]

You would need sufficient bandwidth to not cause any lag

I'm going to record my games as well

[Oneback]

I am going to record my games. I may do a test game to see how live streaming works on this years version before I try it in an OD game.

[psusnoop]

Sweet, I have always enjoyed watching everyone's game in the past.

[gschwendt]

I recorded Wisconsin vs Ohio State... just gotta find time to cut it up.
