Iirc #3 Nebraska falls to Iowa as well. This next advance should be fun.
Interesting, because that should mean #2 Michigan (who I assume will be #1 after the advance) will have to play #12 Ohio State in The Game, and then again in the Big10 Championship - so great chance of them falling.

You never actually posted in this thread when you updated the week.

Remaining games to be played:

Missouri vs A&M
#13 Tennessee @ Kentucky
#7 Georgia @ GT
#10 Florida vs #4 Florida State

Think ZSB has been away all week and might not be around until Monday based on his last response to me in the ACC thread.

ZSB was supposed to be back today to play our ACC game, but still haven't heard anything. But hopefully we can let him get his game in unless he is MIA for longer.

BTW Dio, if we can't find some new players for next season, we should think about shaking the divisions up. I think it's just me and Tyler (Arky/GroupMe) in the West now.

Vols complete their season at 9-3 (prb should have been 10-2, but whatever) and solidly in 3rd place or lower in the division. Maybe next season the defense will be able to stand up a bit better.

When it gets time to start the next season I'll come back around, definitely have the time for more games.

Not sure which team yet. Ideally a team with a mobile QB that has a decent 3-4 look.

Everybody had a bye so we went straight to conference championship week. I'll update with the matchups when the advance is finished

And our championship game is a two loss Georgia against a suspicious 1 loss Arkansas

Akry's only loss was to me in a sim so I'd say it's legit. What's bs is the fact that Cletus only dropped 2 spots after losing to Arky.

The polls are nuts. 3 loss Florida is very highly ranked.

Iowa even has a better record than Michigan, but because Big Blue beat them once they somehow win the division?!

I though the priority in that is: record (winning %), division wins, tiebreakers, and then rank. Am I not correct?

Oh Oh where am I ranked did I crack the top 10?

This game places enormous weight on where you started in the polls. UF was #2 or #3 to start the season which would explain why you haven't really fallen very far despite losses since none of them were back to back.

The ultimate snub has taken place as the country's lone 1-loss team LSU is left out of the NCG - which pits #1 Iowa (2-loss, did not make it to conference championship) and #2 Georgia (2-loss, won the SEC, but lost to LSU in the regular season).

But LSU's Leonard Fournette brought home the Heisman, so I've got that going for me.

#2 Georgia vs #1 Iowa, BCS NCG
#3 LSU vs #10 Florida State, Sugar Bowl
#4 South Carolina vs #8 Nebraska, Outback Bowl
#6 Arkansas vs #18 Michigan, Capital One Bowl
#7 Florida vs #25 Maryland, Chick-fil-A Bowl
#11 Tennessee vs #23 Iowa State, Cotton Bowl

Vanderbilt and Missouri left out with only 5 wins each.

Cotton Bowl ain't bad I guess. At least the BCS put preference in Conference championships, even if 2 loss Iowa is a bit of a head scratcher.

Imagine if Bama had beaten LSU in the regular season in 2011, LSU went on to win the SEC, and with all other things as equal as possible, they didn't make LSU/Bama the NCG.

LSU r2a

Convinced all the juniors who would have been declaring for the draft to stay, but of course all the lower classmen who actually would have ended up with playing time due to seniors leaving could not be convinced. Hate that poo poo. At least the ones I could convince were the higher rated players.

I've been able to combat that poo poo by not over-recruiting, and making sure that everyone who isn't redshirted gets some sort of playing time.

USCe r2a. Only graduated left

I can't imagine I over-recruited in this first season, though I can't see my recruiting status via the web right now in this phase - so maybe I had just recruited guys at those positions (which would work out fine for me anyways - none of the guys leaving would have been my only players at those spots without new recruits, and they weren't highly-rated). And I've started mass subbing against the CPU more and more starting in the 3rd quarter which should get playing time spread around a lot more.

I don't usually have this problem, but maybe it happens more with successful teams. (I've only started having great seasons recently in any of our dynasties)

Hopefully LSU and USCe get matched up in the regular season coming up. I wish I got a chance to play against you more regularly since you're the only goon I've yet to beat - we only get matched up for sure every season in the ACC I think, and that's always going to be an uphill battle for me.

We need people in the West, so you've got the easy choice of Alabama (unless we can convince AF to come back). I doubt you'd want Kentucky in the East anyway, and that's the only available East team.

Dio, we'll have 6 East teams and 3 West teams (assuming Dooby doesn't pick Kentucky). We should check and see if Vandy is planning on actually playing this season, though - he checked out mid-season and we might just want to remove him. (I'll ask him) That would make it 5/3 if he's out, so maybe either Tenn or Florida would be a good choice to move to the West?

Uhh hopefully not. This season I didn't have a single corner rated over 74 - which means next season I won't have one rated over 78. This team is full of underachievers and young'ns, sprinkled with a handful of star players.

Hey Dubious, trying to recruit someone who might join if A&M is open. If you really want A&M, take them, but if not, it might help get us another player. (it's someone who regularly seems to play, hopefully drama-free but I guess that could be a fun surprise for the future)

edit - ok, prob not going to be able to get him, so don't worry about picking A&M if you want them at all.
