Looks like we're going to expand the empire and have one contiguous nation.

Can someone explain how territory is won and held? I don’t understand it.

Each team starts with their home territory. When a team loses, the team that beat them gets the territory. This keeps going as teams keep winning and getting larger territories. Eventually The national champion acquires all of the territory except for the random upset teams, say UNC beats Clemson they would have all of Clemson's territory and no one would be able to take that from them. 

[Dbeasy 14969]

Got it. How is the original territory assigned?

Basically based on how close it is to the school's campus, with some exceptions so everyone has a legible chunk.

You crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women

I can't find the website for this.  Anybody got the updated map?

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2630]

Really wish they would make a tacky trophy such as a bust of Napoleon or Caesar to give the winning team at year end.

Interesting that Stanford gets Alameda County even though Cal is located there. I guess Stanford is closer to more of the county since Berkeley is in the northern tip of the county.
 

Cal should challenge that ruling. Or take it by force.

I forget why WA gets Alaska.  Proximity IIR? 

[Enchubben 5509]

Will be interesting to compare this to previous years at year end. With almost zero non-conference games I would expect it to look somewhat regional by conference, at least until bowl games.

Weird that the three counties of the Oklahoma panhandle are going three different directions.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

This sucks without non-conference schedules.  

[Lone Star Horn 2010]

If I remember correctly, it's the distance from a school to the center of the county, for ownership. 

Which is why UofMiami had to be relegated to Puerto Rico, since FIU is closer to the center of Miami-Dade county.

cold-blooded

We have land again! Thanks to our wins over previously-unbeaten Okie Lite and WVU (who beat K-State before playing us), we now have Austin back, plus all of Oklahoma, the Panhandle, and West Texas.

[AeroHorn 735]

Wyoming has the second largest land holding after Washington. So, potential to gain large tracks of land.

[Doc Daneeka 6769]

Let’s not bicker about who killed who as long as it’s Texas killing Wyoming. 

[Ghost of LL 15492]

I love this thing that combines college football and maps.  Beating Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma over the next four weeks is going to give us a nice little empire.

[SimonBolivar 10931]

Southern Illinois owning Boston is one hell of an occupation.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11668]

what the hell?  how does the university of miami own land in the middle of Te . . . oh yeah. 

[DaysOff 7853]

I still don't understand how this fucking thing works.

Start with the counties closest to your university. Win and you add the counties that the school you played had. Repeat until week 13.

The rules in the bottom right helped me. Your initial “home school” doesn’t have to be in your own state, which throws me off at the beginning of each season. 

[Huckleberry 32703]

So for Rice/Houston and USC/UCLA (and any other examples) does the school closest to the county geographical center get the home county?

[AeroHorn 735]

Yes, each team's home stadium's distance from each county's center is measured and the ones that are closest to their stadium are awarded to them. This is what you they start with. For each game, the two teams stake their lands, and the winner takes the loser's land. Ideally, you want to play previously undefeated teams since they would have a good collection of lands. 

Here is the map before the season started.

[AeroHorn 735]

For example, Colorado didn't gain any land last week because Nebraska had none since they had lost it previously to Minnesota. Besides the possibility of gaining land by beating teams that have land that that time, the only way they can gain their homeland is to beat the team that beats Minnesota.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

After week 2, 12 of the 13 FBS teams in Texas have at least once loss. lmao imagine having a loss this early in the season

And there’s maybe a million people in Wyoming’s land

With all the geography experts that frequent this board you're in good hands.

*tracts

But yeah, I'm only just now starting to understand how this fuckin thing works. Quality of opponent doesn't matter, just how much land they occupy when you beat them. The catch to that is you could go undefeated, yet if everyone you play is shitty you could still end up with very little land.

[TrashMaster G 17390]

Looking forward to the update here.

the rules have been in place for like 9 years man. and the rules explicitly tell you how it works. 

each county starts every year ceeded to the Div 1 school that plays football that is closest to the county. which is why Washington starts off with Alaska every year, since there isnt a Div 1 Alaska football team.

then, if you lose a game, you lose all your territory to the team that beat you.  After the first week you can only gain territory if the team you play against (and beat), has territory.

So if you end up 13-0 but end up playing a team that loses the week before you play every time, you would never gain more territory than your initial ceeded territory.

This week because wyoming was 2-0 we will get all of their territory, including west Texas because Wyoming beat Tech in week 1 and won against a cupcake in week 2.

However, next week since Baylor lost their first and 2nd games, they have no territory.

so all we can do is "hold serve" next week. If we lose, Baylor gets all our territory. if we win, we gain no new territory. 

however if we win and ou wins next week. then we go into the RR Shootout where whoever wins ends up with a lot of territory since both teams would have large chunks

[bolverk 29401]

Baylor has no land to cede, so there will be no territorial gains for Texas' victory next weekend. If Kansas wins next week against BYU, and Texas wins over KU, the empire will include most of Utah, KC area, southern Illinois, and NW Arkansas. Of course, if OU can stay undefeated until the Cotton Bowl, we'll see a major consolidation of territory into an emerging south-central empire with great holdings in the Rockies.

Well, you all have beautiful scenery for sure.

I call for some type of retroactive chain of losses annexation provision. USF beats Rice next week, then all of that territory should fall to Texas based on the transitive property transfer principle. TX>Rice+TX>Bama>USF>Rice=TX land as long as still undefeated.

or, if Rice still owns property when we go NLAA on cooger high, we get Rice's territory they claimed from them.

who owns the Texas counties between colorado and the u???

Army.

Baylor lost to Texas State in Week 1.  Then Texas State lost to UTSA in Week 2.  And the Roadrunners then lost to Army on Saturday.

[TrashMaster G 17390]

Texas and Rice being the only Texas schools to own territory in Texas is pretty damn funny.

We run Lubbock?  Someone alert Joey McDUI. 

[TrashMaster G 17390]

It looks like our prospects for gaining future territory are limited to the current holdings of OU, Kansas, BYU and UCF.

At least until a bowl game.

[TrashMaster G 17390]

The new map should have Kansas with some good territory for us to claim.
