advanced!

 

[Lonestar]

It's amazing. Media has me 5th, Coach's has me 2nd, and BCS, I'm sitting in 3rd place behind USC.

So, there's still a good chance I can blow a title shot again against Utah!

 

[mik]

I wouldn't worry too much about that. I haven't beaten a human yet this season.

 

[LukeSmith]

my time is up!

 

[CB3]

my time is up!

 

[LukeSmith]

21 game win streak, nothing to show for it! life is hard!

 

[DCX]

GG bro. I know i was joking with you on aim that i was praying for rain...we got snow :/ Berry went into super Beast mode that game..just couldn't be stopped. I had nothing else going but him.

A few lucky runs and that was the game. If we had 5 more minutes left to the game you would have come back and taken the game..just to little to late. USC VS Ohio State for a spot in the National Championship game.

You know what to do..

[mik]

LOL. Yes--I just need my fingers and my virtual honkeys to cooperate. Tall order.

 

[Lonestar]

Still, DCX and CB3 still have to play each other in the last week. Can't wait to see how it'll all end up.

I wonder if mik is as prolific wordsmith as Malcolm Tucker is.

I have a fool proof way to beat Alabama. Here's my secret:

Play him at home while he's tired and his starting qb is injured. Good luck!

:lol

Turning on Mecha-Fumbles helps alot too.

 

[LJ11]

On a bye this week so I'm done.

 

[ph33nix]

I might as well have asked FMT to just sim my game so I couldn't have the pain of watching my team fall to A&M in a supersim...I didn't care before the game now I do -_-

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Why do you keep super-simming?

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, it's what got me against LSU. Though, in the times I did play defense, the AI QB was a bit Omniprescent.

 

[ph33nix]

Why do you keep super-simming?

TBH after I lost like two games I kinda stopped giving a fuck about this season, next season will be totally new guys so I'm more looking forward to that

 

[CB3]

Can we advance yet

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

advancing now

 

[CB3]

advancing now

you sound sad!

 

[Lonestar]

Wow, thought our game was being simmed, yet turned out that I had a bye week in week 13.

Feels like Michigan dropped more in the polls than it should have.

Also, how is it possible for OSU to get a 1.000 BCS rating with 1 loss. Maybe I don't know my BCS formula, but I figured a 1.000 = Undefeated.

Love the little differences in the Coach's and Media Poll. Coach's love LJ, Media loves me. Coach's R Smart, I'm a Media Puff Piece.

The coach's poll took into account your real life loss to the chickens over the weekend.

The top 4 should be:
OSU or USC
Alabama or Michigan in some order.

No world exists where a 2 loss team should be ahead of a 1 loss team that beat USC and Notre Dame ((

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, I'm not thrilled that I'm behind a team I beat earlier this year, but it happens. I'm just glad that LSU had lost 2 SEC games as their 2 losses. Otherwise, they'd go to Atlanta.

And I think I'll get a chance to attempt to Crush those Pesky South Kererliners in the CCG.

 

[mik]

In the other GAF league, my only loss was in the national championship and in the final poll, I was ranked behind a two-loss team whose losses were to me and the national champion. It's wackiness.

 

[LukeSmith]

The game also applies a slight voting scalar to human controlled teams, which results in over inflating the rankings of human players - I understand why they did this (durr get more humans in the top 25 it feels more relevant to us), but it seems like a heavy-handed solution. It should be a disable-able toggle given to Commissioners.

:lol

Did you want to play sometime tonight?

BTW: Did you think that it was already our gameweek? I did. I actually thought it was our game being waited on (since I wasn't going to play during the game on Saturday, and well, afterwards didn't feel up for it :lol )

Didn't realize I had a bye week.

 

[mik]

I thought the same thing, Lonestar. Glad to discover I'm not actually a slacker.

I have a game tonight at 10 eastern, but if you're a night owl, I could run one again at like 11:30 or so eastern. Otherwise, I'm home from work and ready to go pretty much any weeknight after 8:30 eastern.

 

[Lonestar]

Bold = Human
Help me edit in any accomplishments, I'm not 100% sure on who's won over who.

[Azwethinkweiz]

I lost to #3 ND, not #6 Michigan. And he only beat me by like 1 point or something.

 

[Lonestar]

Alright, think that's closer to being "right"

So, odds are, USCe is about to hit 4 losses

USC/OSU is a huge game. I'd say a Spectator Mode is in order. Wait, wait, apparently that isn't included in the game. Man, if this situation happened in real life, the AD's would be slapping themselves over it, knowing that if not for the game, the #1/#2 BCS matchup is set. Thankfully, that doesn't ever happen

ND is the CPU Rank Team Killer Supreme. Did FMT use you as a way to knock off any potential AI Shenanigans? If not for me, the Top 6 would be Human.

And there could be some unhappy campers come bowl season. I'm seeing OSU above me, Michigan is seeing USC AND ND above him.

There's some changing around that needs to be made to the scheduling for next year - it's hard when a bunch of folks are in the same conference (Pac-10) as you really only have two options for out of conference games (beginning or end of season). LJ and I were talking about this a bit last night, hopefully he weighs in with his thoughts!

(My schedule was fine, other than being a bit too hard of a schedule)

 

[LJ11]

Yeah, my schedule was loaded with top 10/15 teams.

Week 1 USC #1
Week 2 Michigan (not sure what place but it was no lower than #8)
Week 3 Utah not ranked
Week 4 Stanford Top 10
Week 5 UWV Top 10 may have been 5 at the time.
Week 6 Clemson Top 10
Week 8 Navy
Week 9 Pitt Top 10 may have been just below
Week 10 Boise State Top 15

My last ranked opponent will be Auburn who is top 15 and was top ten before a recent loss. Main reason I'm ranked third in the Nation is the stacked schedule, kept me in it even though I have two losses.

 

[mik]

I must say, I have never been more confused playing this game than I was against you. I had no idea in the world what you were doing on defense--could not read it at all. You had tons of guys moving around pre-snap, making me change my mind two or three times and second guess myself on almost every down. It sucked.

Yeah, it works until you figure it out, once you adjust it's a different world, you can really move the ball. Key to beating me is running the ball as much as you can, I want you to pass.

Week 14
Just in!
#3 ND beats #10 Auburn (24-20). Should have done more, I killed them Barners 48-7.

Fumbles killed me, so did a couple of playaction sacks (wish that was fixed, my only real beef with the game).

Honestly, lucky I didn't lose. 50 seconds left in the game, they have no timeouts, I call a screen because they kept jumping the snap. RB catches the ball, hit immediately, fumble returned for a TD....oh wait, FLAG. Illegal block in the back, game over. Luck of the Irish.

 

[Lonestar]

Well, I know Arky was ranked, I want to say FMT was ranked too. We all probably played some AI teams that were ranked and aren't anymore (except for LJ).

I'm cross between not liking the rankings, and liking them. As you can see, we all have wins over high ranked teams, as well as losses to high ranked teams. There aren't any undefeateds, so it becomes a race of "whose loss is worst/wins are best"

Yeah, I knew this fact last season, and what do I do in the 2nd half??? The opposite of this!

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I did this too in my game. I knew I could run it on LJ but I just like passing so much. I'm so dumb.

 

[Lonestar]

Since Ian believes we all love Charts, here's one. Best Guess (minus week 7) at the ranking progression through the seasons. Some guesswork around what appears to be bye weeks.

Think the email alerts go off of Coach's Poll rankings.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

lol at Stanford.

Hard to see, but the little red Icon is supposed to be a plus, you know, like this:

i'll be back on top next season!
