So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

you are looking at one screen. that one is set up for AQ with locked in bowls. if i made it with only two AQs there would be only two teams on that screen. i could per the video make bcs berths all of them, at large. then there would be nobody on that screen. If you make all ten conf champs bcs bound the highest ranked teams of those ten will play for the title. Its called a closed BCS system.

in theory the bcs is suppose to go like this;

champ=1 vs 2
rose bowl=3 vs 4
feista bowl=5 vs 6
sugar bowl =7vs 8
orange bowl = 9 vs 10
Thats the bcs. how you get those teams in game is up to you this year.

The only reason its not the top ten ranked schools is money. The way its set up now is if your confs is in the championship game, you will get 2 BCS checks once you replace the Champ game teams in those tied in bowls if the other team is ranked high enough.

watch the video and listen.

what i got from the video

you can tie in all bcs berths to confs champs (ALL)
you can tie in bcs berths to specific bowl games by conf champ
you can make all of bcs berths at large which is all cpu ranking so what happens when i remove all tie ins? how many bcs teams are there?

No matter how you word it there are 10 BCS slots. Thats why Boise and BYU are mad. The BCS is locked into those BCS confs. The game will let you break those tied in things, and let you decide how those ten bowl slots get filled.

And worse case if the game is hard proggramed to 8 conf bids, i will give the lower 8 confs AQ status and the Big 12 and SEC would not have automatic BCS bids. But the conf champs of those confs would in most every case get the other two at large bids do to conf strength in the final BCS poll.

Since you keep talking about this video, I went and found it and watched it. Tell me what you see at 1:52

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

this is what i want to do. im the tx longhorns in the big 12, i want to play one yr in dynasty with the real life big 12 conf. then after the yr 1 i wanted to add 2 teams to it and make it the big 12 again.

Yes you can add teams but in order to add teams to a conference, they have to be one of the 120 teams in the NCAA and were in a conference already. You cannot add Teambuilder teams teams into the league.

You can add teambuilder teams, but they have to replace NCAA teams. It is fixed at 120 but the 120 do not have to be the current FBS teams.

im mobile so i will take your word for it if it says you cannot close the BCS.

Again i know how it works in real life. im talking in game. My goal was to close the bcs.

just like using all at large bids it could have worked the same way the cpu ranks for an all open at large bid dynasty. it could apply those rankings to the ten let in the bcs, and seed them from there.
The way i describe would not change the championship game ever. last year if it was all con champs.

Boise would have replaced stanford and the MAC champ replaces bama and MWC champ replaces Mich st. but the two highest rated conf champs would still be Auburn and Oregon by bcs computers.

i will just give the lower 8 confs aq status and SEC and big 12 would be non AQ, but 99 times out of 100 the champs of those confs will get a bcs bid and it will achieve the same thing.

We know you are talking about in game; so are we.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

This is a repost from the other thread:

I came up with a conference system similar to the leagues in Europe. The champion of the leagues in the bottom group moves up and takes the place of the last place team in the 2nd group, and the same for the 2nd/1st group.

1st group has 12 teams, 2nd 10 teams, 3rd 8 teams. Mostly arranged by geography:

Note: Vincennes and IUPUI are team builder teams, both located in Indiana.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I like keep it realistic and all, but I'll probably make a few changes to my liking. Really haven't decided yet since the game doesn't come out for a while.

Off the top of my head, moving Notre Dame into Big Ten and take out Northwestern and move them into the Independents. But that's all right now

It's a good idea, will be interesting to see in action.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Wait a second, I've been reading through the thread and have seen that you are allowed to change conferences during your dynasty. I didn't hear that news yet.

That's def. cool if true, because like I said, I don't really want to mess with any of the conferences that much unless I see fit(like a team dominating in a small conference or just changes I would like to make in the future)

Yes you have the option to adjust them every off-season.

U can still add teams after yr 1.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I've got big plans for the conferences...since I can't adjust the limit of 120 FBS teams, and since I can't delete any conferences, I've come up with the most balanced system for my liking.

All six BCS conferences will be 12-team conferences, with two divisions of six teams each, and a conference championship. The five non-BCS conferences will be 9-team conferences where every teams plays each other to crown a conference champ. The three military schools will be independent.

So excited, can't wait. Here's my latest rough draft of the re-alignment for those interested. For the sake of balance on the west coast, I plan on replacing Akron, Eastern Michigan, and Temple with Eastern Washington, Cal Poly, and Montana.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I don't think I should have the power or right to mess with other teams, and conferences besides the team you are playing with. Maybe create a system where other teams can vote with you for changes, but its not something you should be able to do unilaterally other then moving your team.

So I will probably move my team Oklahoma to the SEC, and that will be it. Don't think it is the best interest of the Sooners to stay in a weaken Big 12, and don't think I should have the right or power to add teams to the Big 12 or change conference rules even though the game technically gives me that power.

So I will probably move by Sooners to the SEC West, and that will be it.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

But in real life, there is no way Oklahoma State stays behind if OU goes. It's going to be a package deal. Have some fun with it instead of thinking you are messing with free will because teams won't move at all in the game unless you do it,
