Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[ryby6969]

Based on E's chart, here's a potential team breakdown

Oneback - Texas
gschwendt - Auburn
JeffHCross - Ohio State?
Ryby - Bama
Snoop - Oregon
Papa - LSU
Kingpin - Okie St
Escobar - Texas A&M
psuexv - OK
texacotea - Florida
nykia - Notre Dame
razorback - Arkansas


Damn it would suck to be in the SEC West based on that lineup

Based on the latest talk, this is what we have right now. Is everyone fine with these teams? I guess Jeff is the only one who has not chimed in yet on who he wants.(assuming Kia still wants ND)

Also, it seems as though we are all okay with outlawing run/pass commit and limiting gameplanning to certain things like coverage and option tactics.

I'll let Papa have the Longhorns then, I'll take Bama

I say we draft, IMO. We've had a lot of back and forth with people switching teams and such that it's probably the best option.

[gschwendt]

I agree with a draft. A lot of opinions may change once they have the game in their hand.

[ryby6969]

LOL, yeah.

That is a good idea.

We have the members and we can pick the order at any point and then we can set a timeline for users to choose their teams.

[Papa LoneStar]

That's cool....it was pretty exciting looking at rosters and running practice mode before last year's draft. It should be a LOT easier making my "preferred team" ranking list

[JeffHCross]

Just pulling together what everyone has posted so far with the teams they are looking at. Does seem to be heavy SEC and Big 12. I say we put 6 teams in the SEC West and put 6 teams in the Big 12 and go from there. Some conference realignment would need to take place.

Jeff

Well, obviously, posting teams when we haven't even decided a conference is kinda pointless. But FWIW ...

I call Collin Klein, I mean K-State.

But it totally depends on what teams we're picking from. If it's just straight up Powerhouse teams, then yes, I'm most likely to go with my Buckeyes.

This looks like a good line up

SEC West

Big 12

Obviously the easiest thing, when you have a bunch of teams coming from those conferences, is to leave them there. I'm good with that. But I'd encourage us to think about removing enough CPU controlled teams to get both conferences down to a single division. I believe 10 teams uses a 9-game conference round-robin schedule in the game. My reasoning is that if you have two divisions, and one of those divisions is totally CPU, then you've guaranteed a CPU opponent in the conference championship.

Personally, I'd rather not see a user win a tough division, then get an "easy" CPU opponent in the CCG with a possible trip to the MNC game on the line.

So when are we gonna figure out the draft order?

Whoever gets the game first is obviously the biggest fan, therefore they should get first pick. Then whoever gets it next, and so on.

Ass!

I think all Game Changers/Community Day attendees should be forced to have their own draft to decide who gets the last picks. You guys get to practice early so should get the worst picks!

And everybody that has the Season Pass too! So that should leave me with the first pick.

Nah, cheap asses automatically get last pick, even before CD guys!

I am so bored I have been forced to play MW3!

[Papa LoneStar]

I say you go by Powerhouse OD national championships since NCAA 10....gives a 3 year amount of data and we should reward the top guys who have shown the type of consistency and passion for the great history of this OD

Soooooo basically you want the entire draft.

I say we go reverse order from last years!

[Oneback]

How about by random draw.

[Oneback]

I say we go reverse order from last years!

So I get the #2 pick.
