We won't have any chance to gain more land until we play Tech on 11/10, which is assuming they don't lose to OU

1) this map is terrible

2) It clearly shows how the Big 12 lost out out the fertile Nebraska recruiting grounds when they left.  

I know we all miss that talent rich Omaha MSA...

And this is the reason that no matter how much the fans want or how nutty Boren was, OU is NOT looking to bolt from the B12.  The Texas pipeline has always been their bread and butter. 

I agree with you, as I know the abundance of talent, and appreciate the rivalry within/ with the Lone Star State/ University of Texas...

I can't believe that only 14 players came from Oklahoma and they have two teams in that state. 

Plus, we got a QB from there... or did we get a TE from there? (Depends on the year that 2017 is applying to.)

Here's the basic guide to why Notre Dame can still make the field ... Virginia Tech, and USC, who should all juice that average win total.

Week 7 update. We didn't gain any land. Big change is ISU taking over WVU land. Our endowments have increased to 32B, but still second to ND.

1) that endowment thing is cool.

 

2) It's also interesting to look at real endowments on there.  Tech has almost as much money as OU?  Sad!  That's our number three system.

Man, hope Iowa State keeps winning until we meet up...otherwise doesn’t look like we have much to gain over the remainder of our schedule.

How in the hell is Purdue in Alaska..? Ohh well, polar bears need Boilermakers to stay warm, I'd guess...  Also of note, UT taking over pockets of SEC turf must really tick off a certain school 100 miles to the east...

The historic map would be better if done with all-time wins vs each school. Just using the last win only tells a small part of the story, albeit an important one.

One win (over Purdue) changes the whole historic map - Go Green!!!!

This college football imperialism bullshit is only fun if your team never loses.

Not true - I will keep a copy of this weeks Historical map in my archives. It will help relieve the pain from one of those games that they lose; so I may need this soon.

I think it's kind of silly that 2+ lossteams keep inheriting all the land.

That's Waco.

Why does the map go back to last year?  The land bases can only grow bigger, and only teams that play that team can obtain land.  The premise of this is pretty stupid to begin with, but going back two years is just weird.  Shouldn't each year start with each team having their own territory?

Two versions of the map. A version that starts fresh each year, and the other that is a continuation of the first year.

I blame the NCAA placing a "death penalty" on the Mustangs, as to why I overlooked that obvious slight against SMU... (oops)...

Going back 26 pages to bump this.  Is this still a thing?  I enjoyed watching it last year.

The fact ‘covid’ isn’t already in B1G and PAC territory on that map is really disappointing. 
 

edit: or the Chinese flag

We added El Paso, western New Mexico, and most of Arizona this week!

We're about to double envelop the shit out of that Texas Tech territory.

I assume the SMU area south of Austin is Texas State's territory?  In reality, they should just have Hays County. Maybe you could extend it to Comal and Caldwell countie, but even those would be a stretch.

So Miami owns Puetro Rico eh?

I assume you are excluding all things aggy. Otherwise this wouldn't make the top 100.

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