*edit... ninja'd

Lots of rivalries all over. Not sure who Georgia would have as a rival (Alabama? Auburn?) but regardless it's going to be a fight every UvU game. Not sure how the conference break downs will go. If Kingpin does go Georgia then that leaves 6 natural in the SEC but if he goes out of SEC, then the debate on whether to put TAMU in the SEC or the Other.

[Kingpin32]

I clearly just had to make things complicated.

[Escobar]

I picked A&M to stay in the SEC...

[psuexv]

Might as well throw Texas in the SEC to keep the Texas/A&M rivalry

[Kingpin32]

That's what I was thinking. Oneback would just have to schedule the Red River Shootout if we do that.

[Papa LoneStar]

We could turn the SEC and B1G into two 10 team conferences and REALLY get down. At least 5 user games per season and both conference champions can earn berths to the Rose Bowl or something.

[gschwendt]

Should be two 9 team conferences... With 10 team conferences, you're not guaranteed to play everyone in conference I don't believe.

[Papa LoneStar]

I just assumed 10 team conferences would play 9 conference games....ala Big 12-2

Hey, if it doesn't work, you could always pick Appalachian State.

Last year they said that a 10-team conference would play a 9-game conference schedule. Not every real life 10-team conference follows that method, but that's what the blog said.

Now, if we wanted to go 9-teams to give us a little more free play on OOC scheduling, I'm okay with that.

Hmmm ... good idea ... I wonder why nobody had that idea before ........................................

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.

Or Toledo.

This is going to be fun. Lol
