According to EA your visit was last week and gained you 1345 points. You are now only 35 points behind and your weekly bonus is worth 70 more points than mine.

Sly, I went easy and got picked off twice on promising drives. I simmed D and got 2:15 to drive for a game winner down 24-27. I scored the game winning TD with 9 seconds left.

JB, schedule Sly and I early in season 7. His CPU put up a fight, which would have went anywhere in a user game.

My schedule is going to be a little tough from now til next week with my move coming up. I'll definitely have times between today and Wednesday to play, but I don't know for sure which times will be best. If you can hit me up on GroupMe when you're around, it might be a good time for me - that might be the best way to schedule it.

Michigan with the big win finally in THE GAME again, downing Ohio State 49-45.

Looked like Michigan had the game in hand, getting a KR TD in the 1st half, and starting the 2nd half with another to make it 35-21, but Ohio State ended up taking the lead 45-42 leaving only 50 seconds in the game. Michigan was able to make it down the field and score on a 2 yard run leaving 18 seconds left, and Ohio State threw a pick on the following rushed drive with no time left to end the game.

Wild game. GG ZSB!

Two red zone INTs in the first quarter killed me. Plus the turnover on downs at the goal line. I had plenty of offense, just failed to score properly. Oh well onto next year it was a good game, really tense. Also sucked when my LB dropped an easy pick early in your final drive that prb would have sealed the deal for me. I could not get any pressure on your QB which just ruins my entire game plan. You oline won vs my dline in pass rush situations (rushing I did fine on more or less).

Well that was certainly a BCS match.

We both played pretty drat solid in the first half, except for the opening kickoff return i allowed for a score, and we went to the end of the first half with me up 17-14.


Second half, my inability to run the ball at all against JB's ridiculous front 7 keeps me one dimensional with 3 INTs and I never score again. Only reason this game wasn't a blowout was my pass defense coming up clutch, forcing a couple punts, a four and out, and picking him off the end zone twice on some well baited zone calls.

All my efforts to score in the second half ended on my line getting blown up and eating a ton of sacks, or really awful picks. That sack in the end zone for a safety was probably the worst, as my guys got blown up in less than a second.

Nebraska gets the W 30-17.

Michigan r2a. Played it tight with Georgia, winning 35-28. Both first drives by each team was a KR TD. Then I mass subbed to start the 2nd half when I went up by a TD, but UGA was no joke, and tied it up somewhere pretty close to the end of the game. So I subbed back in my starters to finish off the last drive and win the game. (I really don't like restarting games, luckily these days rarely have to against the CPU, but I was worried on this one - of course if I had kept my starters in the whole way I doubt it would have been a problem)

Should have another great recruiting class, but looks like those of us who were all ranked 1-4 are all continuing to recruit well (and I can't imagine that will stop), so I think it's going to still be a rocky road to another NC for Michigan.

JB, who are the season winners across the life of this dynasty?

I learned by doing a couple offline seasons with Minnesota I've been recruiting wrong this entire time, and look forward to the fresh recruiting board in the offseason.

This season owned, I did not think I would make the BCS.

That is a very good question. From mere speculation I would say...

Season 1 - OSU
Season 2 - Michigan
Season 3 - Nebraska
Season 4 - Michigan St???
Season 5 - OSU
Season 6 - Nebraska

This is for the BCSCG winners. I've lost two championship games iirc.

I'm pretty sure I won either Season 3 or 4 but I could be wrong - I won the season where you didn't make it to the CCG but you beat me during the regular season. I can't imagine I won Season 2 unless I'm forgetting that this was a reboot, because I think it was Season 3 when my recruiting started getting insane (that first week where I had like 8 5* commits or something ridiculous).

USC hasn't won before? I thought it was either all OSU/Nebraska wins with 1 Michigan win, or the same but also with 1 USC win.

This is why I'm keeping track in my OPs. Now that the drat website is jacked slightly, can't get the stories from previous seasons.

It was truly his golden moment I'm p sure. My first season with this team sucked poo poo man 3 losses. This recruiting cycle is gonna pay dividends in a season or two though provided we last that long!

At least I cleaned up in the awards season with my guys this year even if I fell just short. Home field advantage has mattered a lot in THE GAME so far in this dynasty.

e2: Pulled out the 31-17 win despite some foolish errant throws. I realized I've played every bowl game but maybe my BCS title game in Florida. I am now a 3 time Capitol One Bowl Champ :smith:

I know for a fact OSU DE Nichols took home most of the defensive awards; Nagurski, Lombardi, and at least 1 other. OSU HB Won almost all the Offensive Awards minus the obrien for QBs. Had the best players, but not the best team.
