2013-2014 NCAA Basketball What-if Sports Season
Since I have limited internet at home at the moment and can't move forward with my FBCB interactive coaches dynasty at the moment, I'm going to start setting up my WIS NCAA BB season. I know that it could be a month yet before WIS puts the 2013-2014 basketball teams up for simming, but I figure if I can have teams and conferences decided, and get non-conference schedules set up, that'll save me some time and I can get to simming when WIS does release the teams. Here's a breakdown of how this will work:
Conference Breakdown 8 conferences of 16 teams each, 2 divisions per conference with 8 teams per division. Team Selection I will use ALL the teams from 8 particular conferences. The rest of the teams will be selected by random selection. I will probably take votes for specific teams that readers want to see in, and then use some of the other teams from the other power conferences that didn't make it in. The 8 conferences will be filled with these teams randomly until each conference has 16 teams I have also set up how I am going to play out this season. I am treating it as a full regular season, split into several parts. 1. Each team will play a 3 game season opening tournament. There will be 16 tournaments, featuring 8 teams each, with each tournament having 1 team from each conference. The format for all tournaments will be such as you see at the Maui Invitational, and the teams for each tournament will be selected totally random with a dice roller 2. Each team will play 7 non-conference games, 1 game against a team from another conference, until all 8 conferences have played each other once. The games will also be selected totally random with a dice roller. 3. Each team will play 8 games, one against each conference opponent in the other division. 4. Each team will play a home and home series against the other 7 teams in their division. Now by my count, this will give every team 32 games overall, and 22 conference games. Postseason I will have the 68 team NCAA tournament. To give it more of a feel of actual March Madness, I will be simming the other conferences tournaments to get some teams from the lower conferences in as 14, 15, 16 seeds. By my count there are 32 conferences in the actual 2013-2014 NCAA basketball season. That means I will have to run 24 AQ tournaments aside from the 8 conference tournaments from the conferences that will be featured in this replay. Some of the conferences may have a short tournament, depending on how many teams I take from a conference to fill the 8 conferences I'm using in this dynasty. I will also have at least a postseason NIT, maybe a CBI and CIT. I will continue to think on that. This does, of course mean, that some of the original 128 teams in this dynasty may not make a postseason tournament, as 24 slots in the NCAA tournament will be delegated to teams not already in this dynasty. Only other thing is top 25 polls, RPI, etc etc. I would still be interested in having a committee help with that, or I can just do it all by myself and have you guys gripe at me when the team you like gets under ranked or under seeded in a tournament. ;) I'm hoping to get all the teams and conferences decided by tonight and start setting up the 16 tournaments over the weekend. The 8 conferences I am using are the ACC, American, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, and SEC. By my count, that will make up 96 of the 128 teams, meaning I need to add 32 more from other conferences. If anybody wants to see a specific team in this dynasty that isn't in 1 of those 8 conferences, please let me know. I know bbgunn likes Hawaii, so they will be in this dynasty, which leaves 35 slots to fill. And guys, don't worry, you can still choose a team that you want in it even after I fill all the slots, at least until I get ready to start simming. At that point, things are locked. If I have filled all the slots and somebody wants a specific team, I will just remove one team and add the team that somebody wants. So don't be shy, if you want a certain team in, let me know, the sooner the better. |
These are the 32 teams I added into this dynasty, by conference:
ACC- Manhattan American- Akron, Boise St., Indiana St., San Diego St., San Francisco Atlantic Ten- Belmont, Mercer, Stephen F. Austin Big East- BYU, Harvard, Iona, Middle Tennessee, Wyoming Big Ten- Cleveland St., Green Bay, Toledo, Western Michigan Big 12- North Dakota St., New Mexico, New Mexico St., Ohio, Utah St., Wichita St. Pac 12- Gonzaga, Hawaii, St. Marys, UCSB SEC- Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss I tried to keep teams in conference based on geography, but after a while I realized that heck.. geography doesn't mean anything when it comes to what conference a team chooses, so I started to randomize things after a while. Again, if you want one of these 32 teams replaced with another team of your choice, please let me know ASAP, as once I start simming games, it will be impossible for me to change teams out. |
Here's a look at how the conferences shape up, to this point.
ACC Division A- Boston College, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Manhattan, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest Division B- Duke, Florida St., Maryland, Miami (FL), N. Carolina, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia American Division A- Akron, Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, San Diego St., SMU, UCF, UNLV Division B- Boise St., Indiana St., Memphis, Rutgers, S.

The 16 season opening tournaments I am using for this are as follows:
Maui Invitational 2K Sports Classic Legends Classic Puerto Rico Tipoff Charleston Classic Coaches vs. Cancer Classic Paradise Jam Cancun Challenge NIT Season Tipoff Great Alaska Shootout Battle 4 Atlantis Old Spice Classic Wooden Legacy Corpus Christi Challenge Las Vegas Invitational Diamond Head Classic Each tournament will have 8 teams and each team will play 3 games. Basically I'm using the same format as the real Maui Invitational. There is 1 team from each conference in each tournament. I have randomly chosen the teams from each conference that will be in the tournament, and I am in the process of seeding each tournament based on the teams current record as of this morning. As I get the teams seeded, I will announce those. That will be about all I can do until WIS gets the 2013-2014 NCAA Basketball teams up for use. |
Here are the seeds for the Maui Invitational
#1- Texas (Big 12) #2- Pittsburgh (ACC) #3- Hawaii (Pac 12) #4- Richmond (A-Ten) #5- Tennessee (SEC) #6- Illinois (Big Ten) #7- UCF (American) #8- DePaul (Big East) First round matchups are as follows: DePaul vs. Texas Tennessee vs. Richmond Illinois vs. Hawaii UCF vs. Pittsburgh |

That's all I can do until What If Sports gets the teams up so that I can get going on this. All 16 tournaments have been announced. After the tournaments starts non-conference play, where each conference will challenge the other 7 conferences. This will make 10 non-conference games which is good.
If anybody wants to make any predictions on the season opening tournaments, feel free. Also, sorry guys, but at this point, the teams are locked. If there is a team that you wanted to see in that didn't make it in, let me know and I will try to get them in next time. I hope you all enjoy, I'm really looking forward to getting this started. |
Guys, I need your opinions. One of the things I'm really stressing about on this project is whether or not to use the top 25 polls or not. In my past projects (a lot of them that I haven't reported on), I do top 25 and am never really happy with it.
Which is why I figured I would try to get you guys to help. Another idea I had is to make my top 25 of just RPI and nothing else, but that might take a lot of work too. So I can either do the top 25 to the best of my ability, do the top 25 with help from you guys if anybody wants to help, use RPI for top 25 which would require a lot of extra work I think, or just scrap the top 25 all together. What do you think? |
So the top 25 is not automated in WIS? If not, I think it's just fine to scrap the Top 25, personally. In college basketball, the Top 25 is just window-dressing anyway.
|
Yeah, feel free to go easy on yourself and scrap the ranking.
|
Sorry- late to the party because of being on vacation all last week.
But I agree on the Top 25 idea: don't worry about it. It's hard enough to get enough participation for the NCAA Football Top 25 and that's with actual games. I don't suppose there's something that does RPI for you? If not, just give conference rankings once we get there. Maybe do a 1-time RPI right before the tourney SI |
good to hear from you SI. The main reason I was even worried about RPI, SOS, etc etc, was when it came time to setting up the brackets for the postseason tournaments. I'm sure that will give me some problems when it comes time for that.
Other than that, any other suggestions you want to pass along? |
If you want to throw out RPI almost entirely, you could try to balance out the schedule as much as possible and just take the best records.
For instance: Quote:
Play a balanced schedule for non-con: every team should play a 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16 from another conference. I haven't looked at the pre-season tourneys but if they are also balanced then it would be pretty even for all schedules. That said, marquee tourneys with big name teams are fun, too. You can just ignore everything above this point as it may be too much work up front. The more I think about it, the more rankings are useless. Maybe if you want to create some sort of way to sort teams, great. If this isn't what you want to do, just do a bracket as we'll see how you rank teams from there. And, seriously, there are 24 AQ tourneys aside from the conference tourneys? Seriously? Wow. You will probably need to do some conference consolidation at the bottom rung as you'll wipe out a lot of good teams for those 44 at large spots. By dragging the Wichita States into the fold, there's going to be an auto-bid going to a team that wouldn't have made the tourney otherwise. I love mid-majors but you just pulled the top 128 teams in and now you're only letting 44 play. Perhaps it would be better to drop the AQs down to 20 or 16. Let every team have a chance to make it in (you have to love the "democracy" of the NCAA tourney where any team winning the right number of games can win the title) but you may make the road a bit bumpier as suddenly the MVC becomes a 16 team tourney instead of the 8 it is without Whichita State and Indiana State. A few other little points: * I'd run the pre-season tourneys like you did the group play last year. First round gets a post, second round gets a post, and third round gets a post. * Same with the post-season tourneys. Are you going to do a simple 4 round or the silly (but "more fair") Big East 5 round 16-team monstrosity with 2 sets of byes? * If you decide to do an NIT, CBI, and CIT- they can be quick writeups and should be done before the real tourney * If there is suitable fan participation, you could throw open the final 2 or 4 spots to audience participation. Post 10 or so resumes and post a poll. It's a little harder without RPI rankings, tho. SI |
SI, I'm just a tad confused by this paragraph here.
And, seriously, there are 24 AQ tourneys aside from the conference tourneys? Seriously? Wow.

There are 32 conferences total in NCAA basketball. I have the top 8 conferences in the game, and I tried to fill the conference with top teams from the mid-major conferences. That does leave 24 other conferences that would have a conference tournament for an auto bid. Just to be clear are you saying that say, for instance, I combine the SWAC and the MEAC (2 conferences whose auto qualifiers usually end up as 16 seeds) and make that 1 tournament? I believe that's what you're saying but I just want to be clear. If this is what you are saying, I can absolutely do this. Also, as far as the balanced schedule, I like the idea, but I do think that would be too hard to figure out. I figured since I randomized the tournaments, I would just randomize the non-conference matchups as well. For the 8 conferences that I'm using in the game, for the 16 team conference tournament, I'm using straight 16 team single elimination, no byes. So you're right, it would be 4 rounds. I like your idea of audience participation. I'm not sure RPI has to play a huge role in this, I know it does for the real tournament, but I think I can make this work otherwise. I appreciate your ideas, and I hope you don't get offended if I don't apply all of them to this, as I did have my own ideas that I did want to implement. I do like most of your ideas though, the balanced schedule was something I was teetering on for non-conference play. |
I was just blueskying some suggestions so if they aren't taken- no offense taken at all. Some of them are probably only half baked, at best.
What I was getting at with the AQ is like what you said: maybe make a cutoff where if there are less than 10 or 12 teams in a conference, you'll break up another conference so there are at least 10/12 in every one of the smaller conferences. It would open up more spots for the teams you spent more time on during the "conference" season. SI |

And that takes care of all the tournaments, there were some surprising results and a lot of expected results. Tomorrow I will work on getting the standings through the first 3 games up and get a screen shot of it on here somehow.
The next step is more non-conference play, as each conference will play every other conference, making 7 more non-conference games for each team. Games have been randomly selected, and it's going to be pretty generic, I'm not even worrying about selecting sites for the non-conference series. Hope you all enjoy |
I'm enjoying already!

I was gonna take some time and put some fancy graphics up for the standings, but honestly I just like to keep things simple, so the standings will just be in text format. Sorry to disappoint. But, here are the conference by conference standings as we've finished up the preseason tournaments:
ACC Standings Division A Wake Forest (2-1) Boston College (1-2) Clemson (1-2) Georgia Tech (1-2) Manhattan (1-2) N.C. State (1-2) Notre Dame (1-2) Virginia Tech (0-3) Division B Maryland (3-0) Virginia (3-0) Florida St. (2-1) Miami (FL) (2-1) Pittsburgh (2-1) Syracuse (2-1) Duke (1-2) North Carolina (1-2) American Standings Division A Louisville (2-1) San Diego St. (2-1) Akron (1-2) Cincinnati (1-2) UCF (1-2) UNLV (1-2) Houston (0-3) SMU (0-3) Division B Boise State (2-1) Memphis (2-1) UConn (2-1) Rutgers (1-2) S.

That's it! If there are no pretty graphics for me on a text-based sim message board, I'm quitting!

Week 2- American vs. ACC
American vs. ACC Challenge
Boise St. (2-1)- 62 vs. Clemson (1-2)- 58 San Francisco (1-2)- 52 vs. Pittsburgh (2-1)- 62 SMU (0-3)- 69 vs. Virginia (3-0)- 64 San Diego St. (2-1)- 51 vs. Syracuse (2-1)- 70 UNLV (1-2)- 65 vs. Boston College (1-2)- 56 Akron (1-2)- 54 vs. Notre Dame (1-2)- 70 Cincinnati (1-2)- 69 vs. Georgia Tech (1-2)- 74 UCF (1-2)- 82 vs. Virginia Tech (0-3)- 72 (OT) Louisville (2-1)- 81 vs. Manhattan (1-2)- 63 Temple (0-3)- 78 vs. N.C. State (1-2)- 75 UConn (2-1)- 64 vs. Wake Forest (2-1)- 65 Indiana St. (0-3)- 47 vs. Duke (1-2)- 67 Houston (0-3)- 72 vs. Florida St. (2-1)- 74 Memphis (2-1)- 70 vs. Maryland (3-0)- 68 Rutgers (1-2)- 50 vs. Miami (FL) (2-1)- 53 S. Florida (1-2)- 55 vs. North Carolina (1-2)- 85 American vs. ACC Wrap-Up Both our undefeated teams in the ACC lost today, as SMU got a big win against Virginia and Memphis got by Maryland. Wake Forest beating UConn might be the upset of this challenge. Duke and North Carolina got much needed wins. Final Tally: ACC wins 9-7 This will be my format for at least the rest of non-conference play, and maybe the whole regular season. I thought about doing a game of the week and some game wrap-ups, but with such a long season to get through, plus having a lot of other stuff going on, short and sweet is better in this case. I like putting records for each team during the games, so that you guys have an idea, and this also eliminates me from having to post standings every single week. Bolding the winning team for each game also makes it easier. Let me know what you guys think. |
Week 2- Atlantic Ten vs. SEC
Dayton (1-2)- 83 vs. South Carolina (2-1)- 77
Rhode Island (1-2)- 70 vs. Arkansas (2-1)- 78 St. Josephs (1-2)- 61 vs. Georgia (2-1)- 73 Fordham (1-2)- 70 vs. Southern Miss (2-1)- 67 UMass (1-2)- 79 vs. Vanderbilt (1-2)- 67 Stephen F. Austin (0-3)- 87 vs. Kentucky (2-1)- 89 LaSalle (1-2)- 70 vs. Louisiana Tech (2-1)- 74 George Washington (2-1)- 73 vs. Tennessee (2-1)- 63 Duquesne (2-1)- 65 vs. Florida (3-0)- 74 Richmond (3-0)- 60 vs. Mississippi St. (0-3)- 64 St. Louis (1-2)- 70 vs. Alabama (1-2)- 63 St. Bonaventure (0-3)- 56 vs. Missouri (3-0)- 65 Belmont (0-3)- 68 vs. Ole Miss (0-3)- 73 VCU (2-1)- 59 vs. Texas A&M (2-1)- 67 George Mason (0-3)- 60 vs. Auburn (2-1)- 73 Mercer (1-2)- 71 vs. LSU (2-1)- 75 Atlantic Ten/SEC Wrap-Up Some good efforts tonight, as SFA played Kentucky very tough, and Duquesne played Florida tough. As far as the undefeateds go, Florida and Missouri from the SEC remain undefeated, and Richmond from the A-10 loses their first one. Fordham beating Southern Miss would be the upset of this challenge IMO. Final Tally: SEC dominates, winning 11-5 |
Week 2- Big East vs. Pac 12
Harvard (2-1)- 58 vs. Gonzaga (2-1)- 55
Creighton (2-1)- 73 vs. Colorado (3-0)- 78 BYU (1-2)- 79 vs. Utah (1-2)- 69 DePaul (0-3)- 61 vs. UCLA (2-1)- 70 Iona (2-1)- 84 vs. Washington (2-1)- 69 Middle Tennessee (1-2)- 69 vs. Arizona St. (2-1)- 56 Villanova (3-0)- 77 vs. St. Marys (2-1)- 68 Georgetown (3-0)- 79 vs. Arizona (2-1)- 81 Xavier (1-2)- 77 vs. Washington St. (2-1)- 75 Seton Hall (1-2)- 100 vs. Hawaii (1-2)- 104 (2 OT) Delaware (1-2)- 73 vs. Stanford (2-1)- 69 Marquette (1-2)- 76 vs. California (2-1)- 63 Wyoming (1-2)- 69 vs. Oregon (3-0)- 81 Butler (1-2)- 58 vs. UC Santa Barbara (1-2)- 67 Providence (2-1)- 61 vs. USC (2-1)- 60 St. Johns (1-2)- 78 vs. Oregon St. (2-1)- 76 Big East/Pac 12 Wrap-Up The big game this week was Georgetown and Arizona, and Arizona narrowly escaped. Harvard and Gonzaga, in reality, might be about as good of a non-power conference game as you can get. The surprise for me was UCSB beating Butler and Delaware beating Stanford. The Pac 12 teams Colorado and Oregon stay undefeated, but the Big East undefeated Georgetown goes down. Villanova from the Big East does stay undefeated. Final Tally: Big East wins 10-6 |
Week 2- Big Ten vs. Big 12
Northwestern (2-1)- 54 vs. New Mexico (0-3)- 69
Nebraska (1-2)- 57 vs. West Virginia (1-2)- 67 Toledo (1-2)- 67 vs. TCU (0-3)- 70 Cleveland St. (1-2)- 64 vs. Texas (2-1)- 53 Penn St. (3-0)- 73 vs. New Mexico St. (0-3)- 70 Purdue (2-1)- 72 vs. Kansas St. (2-1)- 70 Green Bay (1-2)- 81 vs. Texas Tech (2-1)- 72 Minnesota (1-2)- 79 vs. North Dakota St. (3-0)- 70 Wisconsin (3-0)- 64 vs. Iowa St. (1-2)- 81 Michigan St. (1-2)- 82 vs. Utah St. (2-1)- 58 Indiana (3-0)- 78 vs. Ohio (2-1)- 81 Ohio St. (1-2)- 53 vs. Oklahoma (2-1)- 72 Iowa (1-2)- 73 vs. Baylor (3-0)- 59 Michigan (2-1)- 79 vs. Wichita St. (2-1)- 86 Western Michigan (0-3)- 68 vs. Kansas (3-0)- 83 Illinois (1-2)- 63 vs. Oklahoma St. (3-0)- 72 Big Ten/Big 12 Wrap-Up We had 7 undefeated teams in this challenge, 3 from the Big Ten, and 4 from the Big 12. 2 of the 3 Big Ten undefeated teams lost, and 2 of the 4 undefeated Big 12 teams lost. The undefeated teams are already dropping like flies. Was surprised to see Ohio beat Indiana and Cleveland St. beat Texas. Also didn't expect to see Iowa St. handle Wisconsin the way they did. I'm happy that Wichita St. beat Michigan, with the Shockers being my team, I was a little nervous how WIS would handle that game. This was by far the best challenge of Week 2. Final Tally: Big 12 squeaks out a 9-7 victory. |

I think they can greatly enhance the experience, if used well. However, they can be a lot of work (and can cause people to stop writing because of the tedium). And I've seen a lot of dynasties where they are just extraneous, too. SI |
Just wanted to say good work so far.

Week 3- Atlantic Ten vs. Big East
LaSalle (1-3)- 60 vs. Xavier (2-2)- 61
Fordham (2-2)- 73 vs. Butler (1-3)- 70 UMass (2-2)- 88 vs. Creighton (2-2)- 105 George Mason (0-4)- 80 vs. Seton Hall (1-3)- 83 VCU (2-2)- 73 vs. Wyoming (1-3)- 82 Rhode Island (1-3)- 53 vs. Delaware (2-2)- 74 Richmond (3-1)- 73 vs. DePaul (0-4)- 72 George Washington (3-1)- 66 vs. Middle Tennessee (2-2)- 51 St. Josephs (1-3)- 85 vs. Iona (3-1)- 68 Stephen F. Austin (0-4)- 83 vs. Providence (3-1)- 61 Mercer (1-3)- 65 vs. Harvard (3-1)- 56 Duquesne (2-2)- 89 vs. BYU (2-2)- 94 St. Bonaventure (0-4)- 69 vs. Georgetown (3-1)- 60 Belmont (0-4)- 66 vs. St. Johns (2-2)- 75 St. Louis (2-2)- 52 vs. Marquette (2-2)- 72 Dayton (2-2)- 81 vs. Villanova (4-0)- 87 A-Ten/Big East Wrap-Up The big surprise for me is Fordham beating Butler. Mercer over Harvard was a surprise too, as well as Wyoming over VCU. My fear is that the farther into this I get, the more parity there will be. I'm already having that feeling there may be a lot of even records and seeding the NCAA tournament may be impossible. Final Tally: Big East wins 9-7 |
Week 3- ACC vs. Pac 12
Florida St. (3-1)- 66 vs. Washington St. (2-2)- 53
Virginia (3-1)- 68 vs. Oregon (4-0)- 73 North Carolina (2-2)- 60 vs. UCSB (2-2)- 71 Virginia Tech (0-4)- 85 vs. USC (2-2)- 89 (2 OT) Duke (2-2)- 66 vs. Utah (1-3)- 67 Boston College (1-3)- 69 vs. California (2-2)- 62 Pittsburgh (3-1)- 81 vs. Stanford (2-2)- 72 Miami (FL) (3-1)- 48 vs. Gonzaga (2-2)- 58 Syracuse (3-1)- 73 vs. UCLA (3-1)- 83 Georgia Tech (2-2)- 69 vs. Hawaii (2-2)- 48 Notre Dame (2-2)- 59 vs. Arizona St. (2-2)- 74 N.C. State (1-3)- 82 vs. St. Marys (2-2)- 72 Manhattan (1-3)- 48 vs. Colorado (4-0)- 83 Clemson (1-3)- 70 vs. Washington (2-2)- 67 Wake Forest (3-1)- 56 vs. Arizona (3-1)- 65 Maryland (3-1)- 80 vs. Oregon St. (2-2)- 83 ACC/Pac 12 Wrap-Up UCSB beating N. Carolina and Utah beating Duke are by far the 2 biggest shockers. I go back to my previous point about this dynasty being wide open and a lot of balanced teams towards the end. Final Tally: Pac 12 beats ACC 10-6 |
Week 3- SEC vs. Big 12
LSU (3-1)- 68 vs. West Virginia (2-2)- 67
Alabama (1-3)- 50 vs. Texas Tech (2-2)- 64 Auburn (3-1)- 70 vs. Ohio (3-1)- 57 Mississippi St. (1-3)- 45 vs. North Dakota St. (3-1)- 71 Louisiana Tech (3-1)- 87 vs. Wichita St. (3-1)- 85 Missouri (4-0)- 48 vs. Utah St. (2-2)- 69 Florida (4-0)- 58 vs. Texas (2-2)- 84 Texas A&M (3-1)- 75 vs. Kansas St. (2-2)- 75 Vanderbilt (1-3)- 62 vs. Baylor (3-1)- 75 Kentucky (3-1)- 81 vs. Oklahoma (3-1)- 74 South Carolina (2-2)- 63 vs. New Mexico St. (0-4)- 60 Ole Miss (1-3)- 62 vs. TCU (1-3)- 71 Arkansas (3-1)- 54 vs. New Mexico (1-3)- 60 Tennessee (2-2)- 79 vs. Kansas (4-0)- 92 Georgia (3-1)- 84 vs. Iowa St. (2-2)- 80 Southern Miss (2-2)- 80 vs. Oklahoma St. (4-0)- 73 SEC/Big 12 Wrap-Up And 3 more undefeated teams go down this week. Oklahoma St. lost their first game from the Big 12, and Florida and Missouri not only lost their first games, but both teams were hammered. And the parity and balance early on continues. Shocker of the day for me is how easily Texas handled Florida, beating them by 26. Lest not forget the real Florida team is on its way to the final four, probably to win the whole darn thing. WIS is a crazy thing. Final Tally: Big 12 wins 9-7 |
Week 3- American vs. Big Ten
UConn (2-2)- 83 vs. Minnesota (2-2)- 67
South Florida (1-3)- 57 vs. Illinois (1-3)- 70 San Diego St. (2-2)- 72 vs. Indiana (3-1)- 57 Louisville (3-1)- 91 vs. Michigan St. (2-2)- 92 (OT) Memphis (3-1)- 82 vs. Ohio St. (1-3)- 68 Akron (1-3)- 59 vs. Wisconsin (3-1)- 60 SMU (1-3)- 59 vs. Northwestern (2-2)- 56 San Francisco (1-3)- 65 vs. Cleveland St. (2-2)- 69 UCF (2-2)- 45 vs. Green Bay (2-2)- 70 UNLV (2-2)- 63 vs. Purdue (3-1)- 47 Indiana St. (0-4)- 63 vs. Toledo (1-3)- 71 Houston (0-4)- 55 vs. Iowa (2-2)- 71 Boise St. (3-1)- 65 vs. Western Michigan (0-4)- 74 Cincinnati (1-3)- 51 vs. Michigan (2-2)- 82 Temple (1-3)- 71 vs. Penn St. (4-0)- 62 Rutgers (1-3)- 64 vs. Nebraska (1-3)- 66 American/Big Ten Wrap-Up Ding dong, another undefeated goes down. Penn St. was the only undefeated in this challenge, but no longer, as Temple took care of that. Not a lot of true shockers in this challenge, that Louisville/Michigan St. game was dynamite. I had both of those teams in my final four this season in reality, but alas, both fell short. Final Tally: Big Ten wins 10-6 |
Just so everybody knows, I am not giving up on this project, quite the contrary. I took this week and next week off from my regular job, but unfortunately left the excel files on the work computer (I have a lot of free time at work to work on stuff), so I'm unable to do any reporting on this for another week. However, I have been working on writing schedules and simming games when I can, so I should be able to fire up 3 or 4 weeks of this project within a day or 2 when I get back to work. In the meantime, please enjoy my 2 FBCB projects, the MVC and FOFC interactive coaches dynasty, and my starting from the bottom coaching dynasty. Thanks for your patience all!
