Oh, I like the updates. But this is a moment in the season where that map really does look like one big pile of shit to me.

In terms of territory up for grabs next week, its actually the Illinois- Penn State game that will end up with the largest merger of the week.

Georgia-Bama will obviously be a massive game, but not as much actual land up for grabs in that one.

 

a few other merger games, a lot of teams just need to hold serve this week.

Don't count out the wandering Boise State marauders conquering the Grand Wazzu Empire, including its Alaska colony, this weekend.

Ah, apologies, I mistook your messaging. Agreed that we still need a few weeks of land consolidation for geographic continuity. 

[tejas60 3542]

Won't get shit this week or vs ou. We'd get quite a bit of territory if geo beats bama, then we skull fuck geo.

I stumbled across an Instagram account that does a weekly imperialism-style map that shows current undefeated teams. Account is called thronespud.

The map is two images wide - I have no idea how to convert that to a single screenshot. Any of you more tech savvy types want to give it a shot?

What are the rules behind this map? Say Kentucky beats Ole Miss. Then what?

I think it’s just closest county to each undefeated team

I'm guessing you just expand proportionately whenever a neighbor loses. So if BYU and UNLV lose, there'd be more burnt orange to the west. But what happens if everyone loses at least one game?

That’s fair. Thanks. So I guess those surrounding Ole Miss would divvy up their land.

Comparing last week's map to this week is really interesinteresting of teams got hit with their first L.

They forgot the panhandle, and a lot of people do.

This is the kind of reference I'll always +rep that sets this football board apart from many of the other mouthbreathing forums.

By my count, six undefeated teams went down:

Illinois, Georgia, UCF, Ole Miss, Louisville and Washington State

Twenty are left.

Yep... Tech and BSU are the real teams to beat. This map amuses the shit out of me.

[satyanash 15283]

Huge amount of potential land gain opened up last week with Vandy, Arky and A&M all pulling off upset wins.

[Biff Tannen 46016]

I will never understand how this shit is supposed to work, nor do I get the appeal.  Win every fucking game.

[dieucla98 2954]

You win, you take their land. You lose, they take your land. It's probably the oldest rule of mankind. 

And it's 100% for amusement. Part of that amusement is all the hand wringing.

The rules are literally in the lower right hand corner.

This one make so much more sense

[markstanco 12751]

If Miami makes the playoffs, they are going to get TCU'd so bad.

lol to Boise owning most of Alaska, and Indiana conquering the Aleutian Islands.

[Alien Octopus 628]

Boise lost to Oregon, should they not have their  large tracts of land?

[jetsfan76 760]

I'm probably (definitely) biased, but we really do have the coolest fucking logo.

They turned around and took Wazzu's. Oregon still owns Boise.

[General Specific 3476]

Woke up this morning and found out my world map is different than whatever that abomination of a map is.

[satyanash 15283]

No land up for grabs for us this week. But if we can beat Georgia, things will get interesting in the back half of our schedule.

As far as I can tell, Vanderbilt and Arkansas are the only teams left on the schedule that own any land.

[Reese Bennett 3647]

We can consolidate a lot of the SE if we can get past Georgia and beat Vandy.

So does aggy.  And they could, conceivably, claim LSU's land.

Doh - didn't catch aggy.
