North Texas is Back on the Map!

[Side Show Joe]

It's not much, and it's in North and South Carolina but it's ours.

I like it but I'm a bit confused, why are we in the Carolinas?

We have a few things in common here.  I'm originally from East Texas (just down the road from C-town), I like the map, and I'm also a bit confused as to how/why we own territory in the Carolinas.

Any map with Austin Peay on it must be totally legit, right?

Actually, we are just circling our prey at high altitude, waiting for our opportunity to attack in 12 days. Our strategy is to swoop down, scream "Beep Beep your ass!", make a merciless kill, and claim that big chunk of blue-colored real estate in Texas.

This whole map is confusing.  Does this refer to areas where teams have won games, and thus dominated those areas' fanbases?  Even then, I'm not sure why that would get us that piece in the Carolinas.

I confess; I once hooked up with girls from both Carolinas on the same night in Myrtle Beach. So it’s a map of epic conquests.

That dude from Maryland tho.

We made it back on to the map last week when we beat UAB. They had beaten Coastal Carolina so we own the land that was owned by UAB which was previously owned by Coastal Carolina. Southern Miss didn't own any land because they had lost it. We play UTSA in 2 weeks though and have a chance to take over south Texas.

uh...

How does TCU dominate OK.

 

How does special ed  road runners dominate South Texas? 

This map needs to go back to the drawing board. Ha

[RBP79]

Think location has no purpose...just a piece of landscape perhaps.

This thing is asinine.

WTF is Stanford doing in Arkansas?

Under stand TCU in NWA since they beat the pigs , but Stanford?

The map started with every county in the US assigned to the nearest D1 school.  We began the year with Denton County and some counties north and west of Denton.  If your team wins one week then you get the land the opponent had.  If you lose, then you lose your land to your opponent.  For example, TCU has defeated SMU, Baylor, and OK St which explains why they have the land they do.  

In this  case, Southern U beat SC State in week one to grab that land in the Carolinas.  Then USM beat Southern U to grab that land.  Then we beat USM to claim that land and we'll hold that space until we lose a game.  Going into this weekend USM holds no lands but UTSA holds a large section in south Texas.  If UTSA wins then we'll have the chance to claim that section of land for ourselves by beating UTSA next week.  

It will be interesting to see how the may turns out.  Imagine if Alabama runs the table and claims a ton of land ... then gets upset by Mercer in the second to last game of the year (upset of the century) and Mercer dominates the map.

Good except for the last bit. We're in the Carolinas because UAB beat Coastal Carolina and then we beat them.

We've had the Carolinas since Week 4. Beating Southern Miss got us nothing. Here's a GIF of the progression: https://imgur.com/a/0dJi8

It's a cool idea, really.

I'm kind of embarrassed that it's so difficult for some of you to grasp this concept. It's an imperialism map. You gain territories for beating teams. If you beat them, you gain the territories they previously held from beating other teams. It's really not that complicated.
