October 2, 20232 yr This thread reminded me of the college football belt (like heavyweight boxing, belt goes to the one that beats the current belt holder) something I have not looked at since, oh, about 2010 for some reason. Washington is the current holder and we could have stolen it from them last December. Even in our glory years at the beginning of the 2000s, we only ever held the belt for a few short times https://www.hatchrankings.com/lineal.html
October 2, 20232 yr Hey, we have a sliver of Michigan. For square miles, it's Washington by a lot, but that's only if you count Alaska. Oregon State has three small holdings in the East and three small holdings in the west, but none in Oregon. Utah is 4-1 and has no territory.
October 2, 20232 yr We picked up the most territory by beating KU and now hold the #2 spot Top Land Gains in Week 5: Texas +173,723 mi2 from Kansas Clemson +71,006.1 mi2 from Syracuse Oregon State +69,740.2 mi2 from Utah Bowling Green +42,620.9 mi2 from Georgia Tech Troy +42,122.7 mi2 from Georgia State Our New Top 5 Washington - 756,702.3 mi2 Texas - 479,849 mi2 North Carolina - 282,295.4 mi2 Washington State - 218,039.6 mi2 Penn State - 182,038.4 mi2

November 29, 20232 yr It resets every year is the real answer. 30 straight has fuck all to do with it.

November 29, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Tomatillo said: Jesus, why does UGA not own east Tenn, central Fla, Atlanta, NW Miss, central SC, etc? Because the teams Georgia beat didn’t own that land when Georgia beat them. Season starts with all teams owning their own land (counties around your school, half way to the next school). Teams then capture the land owned by the teams they beat. When you lose; you lose all your land to the team that beat you. Texas owned all of our opponents land until we lost to ou. OU took all our land when they beat us. OU then lost the land to oSu, oSu lost it to UCF, UCF lost it to Tech, we gained it from Tech. If you play a team with no land, you gain nothing. If oSu beats Texas (they won’t), all the Longhorn land becomes Cowboy land and we have nothing.

November 29, 20232 yr This is a silly map. It always has been. That's the point of it. I'm not sure why people who don't understand, or especially those who don't care to understand, continue to post on this thread. If you don't like it, don't stick around. Nobody's forcing you

November 29, 20232 yr I enjoy reading this thread and whatever other threads in which this map pops up. It's always the same cycle. One faction of posters is confused/angry and thinks it's really stupid. Another faction will staunchly defend the map to the ends of the earth while calling it simple and telling the other group that it's harmless fun. The argument then ensues for an additional 40 posts and then the discussion disappears for a month. It's like watching a funny rerun of Seinfeld or Cheers or something. I know what's going to happen, I know which characters will show up and what they'll say, and it's still good.

Not trying to derail the thread, but the amount of insults is amazing for such a dumb concept. 😄
November 29, 20232 yr I actually hate this map when people bring it up in OTHER threads. Because it is always misrepresentative and unrelated to the context of whatever is being discussed in those threads. By its nature, it doesn't have anything to do with the relative quality of the various teams represented on it, so it's completely out of place on most every other thread where actual college football discussion is occurring. But this thread, is specifically created for this map. So it always amuses me when people angrily come onto this thread and hurl insults at the map, or at those who are commenting on the map.

It was merely implied that you were too unintelligent to comprehend how the rules of the map work. You are the one who continues to provide evidence that supports the implication.
