Re: How is your dynasty going

A country of 300 million and I cant find 12 dedicated players. LMAO. If you are looking for a challenge, click the link above. Come to our Facebook page and meet the guys... see if you mesh well. This is a good group of mostly dedicated players.

- PS3 league

- We are looking to add 4 player to get to 12.

- Typically we all get on a con bridge or at least be paying attention via Groupme to handle recruiting in one motion. We have spreading it across multiple days.

- We are in year 2030 and have been playing consistently for about a year.

- Start as 2 star coordinator and work your way up. XP points not adding appear to be the main issue. They dont add for some new users. We are working on a fix for that. Otherwise, its set on 1 and the accumulate really slow.. EARN IT!!

- Power conference schools are a little different in this league for instance The American is kind of a big East with Vt, Penn *, Syracuse, BC Pitt etc... Conf USA is like the old SWC with Baylor, TCU, Arkansas, Houston and other 2nd tier Texas school. Modified big tens, big 12 and Pac 12 and SEC as of 2009...

- I randomly change penalties slightly each year in order to switch things up.

- Sliders are all up for the CPU and down for human with exception of the kicking sliders. THIS IS VERY CHALLENGING.

- We talk a little trash, but everyone is adult and cool with each other.

- We ADVANCE PRETTY FREQUENT. At least once a day and sometimes even more than that.

- ABSOLUTELY NO SIMMING

- Lastly, we are looking for realistic sim style players. While we understand the desire to go for it on 4th down, try not to. We all know there are money plays in the game and while we all use them to an extent, part of the challenge is not to use them consistently. Bottom line is try to play as realistic as possible.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Pittsburgh Panthers 2015 Season

Last season saw 2nd-year head coach, Jeff Chapman, lead the Panthers to a 10-4 record (4-8 his 1st season) and a Chick-fil-a Bowl victory over Georgia. This season Coach Chapman has reiterated several times that the Panthers are on track to complete his "championship in three years" goal. Many experts initially balked at these statements by Chapman two years ago, now that goals seems achievable after two recruiting seasons finishing in the top 25 nationally (#8 in 2013 and #23 in 2014).

Check below for the season scores so far:

Spoiler

Week 1 vs ECU 0-0(0-0)
W 59-44

Pitt clearly walked into the game feeling that they could easily blow out East Carolina. The Pirates fought valiantly but ultimately could not hang with Pitt's talent level in the end.

Week 2 at Penn State 0-0(0-0)
W 45-13

Prior to this season, Pitt and Penn State agreed to a Pennsylvania championship series. Both Penn State and Pitt would host a game, if the series was split one game to one, then a deciding game three would be held on neutral territory with the winner getting to challenge it's next opponent in the series.

Pitt crushed Penn State in Happy Valley, and ultimately crushed their season as Penn State started off the season with 6 straight losses.

Week 4 vs Louisville 1-1(0-0)
W 27-9

Pitt scored 20 unanswered points from a stretch running between the 2nd and 4th quarters that was broken up by a safety. In the end, Louisville looked lost on the field with Pitt.

Week 5 vs #1 Notre Dame 4-0
W 49-42

A signature win for Coach Chapman as Pitt dethrones the consensus No. 1, Notre Dame, after a shootout at Heinz Field. This is arguably the biggest win in recent Pitt memory, the fans at Heinz were loud through out the game but most notably at the end of the 3rd quarter when ND was forced to punt and the crowd roared to life with the Zombie Nation chant (got goose bumps while playing).

Week 6 at Boston College 3-1(1-0)
W 44-22

Pitt felt sluggish all game against BC, but still cruised to an easy victory.

Week 7 at North Carolina 0-4(0-2)
W 48-38

UNC was having a tough year coming into this game against a top 10 Pitt squad but they came out swinging. In the end, Pitt was too much for UNC and walked out victors.

Week 9 at Syracuse 4-2(2-1)
W 54-14

The Orange tried to seek revenge for last year's upset in Pittsburgh but ultimately couldn't hang with an experienced Pitt squad.

Week 10 at Virginia 4-4(3-2)
W 58-26

Another easy victory for Coach Chapman and his Panthers. This was the final game of their 5 weeks away from Heinz Field.

Week 11 vs Virginia Tech 5-3(2-3)
W 48-20

A tougher game than the final score indicates, VT wouldn't let Pitt run away with the game until late in the 3rd quarter.

Pitt heads into week 12 with a match-up at #15 Georgia Tech. If Pitt wins, they will clinch the ACC Coastal crown and a spot in the ACC Championship. A win for GT would keep their ACC hopes still alive if Pitt were to falter against Miami or Duke, the later of home has trounced Coach Chapman twice already.

Pitt is currently the consensus #2 team in the country behind Auburn. The other two top 4 spots for the CFP currently belong to UCLA and Oklahoma. All 4 teams are still undefeated.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Just got the game the other day and started a dynasty with my Wolverines. I can't figure out how to stop the CPU on defense, so I just sim it for now. Started well, with an easy 55-21 win over Central Michigan, beat Notre Dame 21-17 off a 8 second left TD, and rolled over Akron 31-7. Then I decided to play defense against UConn...... Mistake, lost 33-20. So...... How do you play defense???? I don't seem to have a problem on offense (I play on Varsity), except for a slow start against UConn. But defense I cannot stop anyone. Passing plays there's always someone open, running plays there's always a huge hole.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Ended my first season as the OC at Old Dominion. We finished with an 11-3 record and a GoDaddy.com Bowl win over Houston. We were down 27-24 with 30 sec left when my QB throw a 15 yd td pass for the win. We finished the season ranked #20.

I also finally got my 8 team playoff to work after some minor hiccups. My 8 team playoff included the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, and SEC conf champion (UNC, Wisconsin, Kansas State, Oregon, and Alabama). My three at large bids went to Colorado State (winner of the MWC with a 12-1 record), Oklahoma (10-2 record) and WVU (11-2 and winner of the AAC conf championship). All the first round games were close, except for Oregon vs Oklahoma. At the end of the day it wound end up being Kansas State vs Oregon for the NC (which is ironic because they were ranked #1 and #2 and were to play in NC anyways). Kansas State wound up destroying Oregon on the big stage for the Championship win.



Im continuing with my contract as OC at Old Dominion and we will see what season 2 holds for us.

[tarheelguy4736]

Re: How is your dynasty going

In my 2nd year as the OC at ODU, I moved them from the MAC to the ACC for more of a challenge. We started out the season horribly. First 5 games, all of them resulted in loses. With luck though, only one of those was a conference game. Lost to Penn State 35-31 on a last second hail mary by Penn State to win. Lost to TCU 24-19 (score wasnt as close as I scored a TD with time expiring). Lost to Baylor 48-26. Lost to Tennessee 27-26 on a horrible 4th down pass by my qb that seemed to hit 4 feet in front of the receiver. Then lost 38-35 to Navy.

After that horrible start my team seemed to turn it around by sweeping the rest of the regular season and finishing at 7-5 (6-1). I ended up winning the coastal division of the ACC and faced off against UNC (10-2) in the ACC Championship. It came down to the wire but I ended up pulling out the win and the upset 45-42.

Now, I am using the 8 team playoff mod throughout my dynasty. Since I was lucky enough to finish the season strong and win the ACC my team gets an AQ for the playoff. Along with TCU (winner of the Big 12), Arkansas (winner of the SEC), Notre Dame (winner of the Big 10), and UCLA (winner of the PAC 12).

My 3 at large births were very tough to determine. WVU ended up winning the AAC with a 12-1 record. Bowling Green won CUSA and finished the season at 13-0 (UCLA is the only other unbeaten team). Rice won the Sun Belt and finished the season at 12-1. Pittsburgh was undefeated going in to the MAC championship but lost and finished the season at 12-1. Washington finished the season at 11-2 and lost to UCLA in the conf champ. Ohio State finished the season at 10-3 (lost to ND in conf champ) but had a really strong strength of schedule. Michigan State finished at 10-2 but beat Notre Dame (for their only loss) but lost to Ohio St and Michigan. UNC finished at 10-3 but lost to us (ODU) in the conf champ.

After weighing all the schedules, point differentials, and quality wins and loses, I decided to put WVU (since they won their conf champ), Washington (beat several top 25 teams and only lost by a few pts to UCLA in the conf champ), and....... BOWLING GREEN. The reason I chose Bowling Green was because essentially the finished undefeated. However their strength of schedule was the worse out of all the teams but their out of conference schedule was ok when compared to the rest. The other main factor was their margin of victory. They were outscoring opponents by almost 21 points a game. So I decided to roll the dice and put them in the playoff.

My seeding is as follows:

1) UCLA (13-0)
2) Notre Dame (12-1)
3) TCU (11-2)
4) Arkansas (11-2)
5) ODU (8-5)
6) WVU (12-1)
7) Washington (11-2)
8) Bowling Green (13-0)

Ive completed all of the games except the championship game. I will update later when I have finished the whole postseason.

Re: How is your dynasty going

I just had to post this.. In my first year of a Marshall test dynasty with LSU and UGAs rosters I did as always and searched the speed category. Fastest player in the country was a juco WR who was 6'7 215 pounds. When he came is as a juco soph he had 97 speed, 82 catch. He has little agility and mid 80 acc. I used him in minor situations and he produced some stats.

His junior year I am 6 games in and he's broken the NCAA record now twice. Even with sliders and Heisman 1 on 1 he's just no contest and he breaks tackles like crazy. I've never had a player like this without actually creating it...

[tarheelguy4736]

Re: How is your dynasty going

If you would like to see how my playoff turned out, click the spoiler below. It is quite lengthy but definitely the most exciting playoff I have had.

Spoiler

I have finally completed the playoffs in my 2nd year of this dynasty. It was an exciting playoff with some unexpected results. We start off with the first round (quarterfinals) and the matchups.

#2 Notre Dame would end up beating #7 Washington in a 4 OT thriller, 60-58. With less than two minutes left in the 4th Quarter, ND is losing by 7 but would drive down the field and score to tie the game and send it to overtime. Both teams would exchange scores at 17 a piece (2 td’s and a FG). Each team now had to go for two if they scored a TD. Washington had the ball to start the 4th OT and would end up scoring. However, they failed on a two point conversion pass and lead 58-52. It was ND’s turn. They would end up punching the ball in to the endzone and tying it at 58-58 but still had to go for 2 to win the game. Everett Golson would find one of his receivers in the endzone for the conversion and to win the game 60-58. Golson would end up being POG with 466 passing yards and 6 TD’s (however, he did have 5 int’s, so Washington had plenty of chances to win but ended up blowing it).

#5 Old Dominion (my team, currently the OC) would end up beating #5 Arkansas by almost two TD’s, 30-17. This was the least close game between the 4 opening games. Even though ODU was up 17-10 at halftime, they basically had control of the momentum the whole game. In the 3rd Quarter, ODU would score 10 unanswered points to push their lead to 27-10. Arkansas would score with 3 min left in the game to cut the lead to 10 but couldn’t recover the onside kick and thus, sealing the victory for ODU. The surprising POG would end up being the TE Josh Banfalvy with 113 receiving yards and 1 TD. With the win, ODU would be taking on ND in one of the semi-final games.

#6 WVU would end up beating BIG 12 Champ #3 TCU in another close game that would come down to the wire. Both teams would trade scores in a defensive battle through 3 quarters. Going in to the 4th, TCU is leading 24-17. With about 2:37 left to play, WVU has the ball and would drive down the field and score on a 16 yard TD pass with about 1 minute left to play to tie the game at 24. TCU would take over on the kickoff and trying to go for the win instead of settling for OT. TCU would subsequently throw 3 incomplete passes and be forced to punt to WVU. After the punt, WVU would have the ball on their own 40 yard line with about 23 seconds left but with all 3 TO’s. After two 15 yard passes and about 5 seconds left in the game, WVU would have a chance to win on a 47 yard FG. As time expired, WVU’s kicker nails the kick through the uprights to win the game, 27-24. The POG would end up being WVU’s QB Creft Jr with 385 yards and 2 TD’s.

The final matchup of the quarterfinals would pit two undefeated teams, #1 UCLA (13-0) and #8 Bowling Green (13-0). Many though Bowling Green wasn’t deserving of the playoff spot given their strength of schedule, the worst in college football. However, they did finish the season undefeated which is tough in sports now-a-days, so a spot was given to them by the committee. This game did not disappoint. UCLA looked like the undefeated team it had been all season to start the game, leading 28-13 at halftime. However, BGSU would come out swinging in the 2nd half and not quitting. They wound up scoring 16 unanswered points in the 3rd quarter to pull ahead with the lead at 29-28. UCLA would drive late in the 4th quarter and score the go ahead TD and the two point conversion to give them the lead 36-29 with 1:53 left to play. With BGSU’s hope dwindling, the get the ball and start slowly driving down the field, converting multiple 3rd down conversions. With about 30 seconds left and from the 15 yard line, BGSU would connect on a pass for the tying score and send the game in to OT with a score of 36-36. UCLA would get the ball first in OT. After their offense stalls, they would have to settle for FG to go up 39-36. BGSU would now have a chance to pull off one of the major upsets in sports history if they could score a touchdown. The very first play from scrimmage for BGSU, resulted in an 18 yard pass to the yard line. From the 7 yard line, BGSU’s QB would connect with his receiver for the game winning touchdown and the biggest upset in NCAA history. BGSU would win the game 42-39 over a powerful UCLA team. BGSU would end up facing WVU in the semi-finals. (Forgot to write down the POG for this game.)

The semi-finals would pair #8 Bowling Green vs #6 WVU and #5 Old Dominion vs #2 Notre Dame. Both BGSU and WVU were at large bids to the playoff, with ODU and ND the remaining major conference winners left in the playoff.

The first game of the semi-finals was just as exciting as the first round of the playoff (which saw 2 OT games and 3 games that would end in a point differential of 3 points or less). #8 BGSU would face a highly rated defense in #6 WVU. WVU would take complete control in the first half of the game, showing their defensive strength and leading 24-7. However, just like with UCLA, BGSU would come roaring back with determination by scoring 14 unanswered points making the score 24-21 WVU. WVU would score another TD with about 3 minutes left in the game and making the score 31-21. BGSU would score and pull with a 3 points with about 2 minutes left in the game. They would decide to kick off and it be left to their defense. Their defense would hold and they would get the ball back with about 1 minute left in the game. BGSU would drive down the field and get in to FG range with a few seconds left. BGSU’s kicker would line up for another 40+ yard FG but would miss it to the right, falling short of the comeback and claiming WVU as the winner with a score of 27-24. The POG would end up being QB Crest JR with 395 yards and 4 TDs.

The second semi-final game matched up the 13-1 Fighting Irish and the 9-5 Monarchs of Old Dominion. The game was back and forth through the first two quarters. ODU would score the go ahead TD at the end of the 1st half to make 21-14. ODU would increase their lead 14 points to start the 2nd half. By the end of the 3rd quarter, the score was ODU 31-ND 21. ODU would increase their lead yet again in the opening of the 4th quarter with another TD, making the score 38-21 and the hopes of ND advancing slowly dwindling. ND, however, would manage to find the endzone again in the middle of the 4th quarter but that would ultimately be their final score of the game. ODU would end up winning 41-28 and advancing to the National Championship against WVU. The POG would end up being QB Washington with 200 passing yards 4 TD’s and 52 rushing yards.

The National Championship Game would end up being a rematch of last season’s game between WVU and ODU. In their previous meeting, WVU would score on a Hail Mary pass to win the game as time expired. With their past history, there was much anticipation and excitement surrounding this game, and, the final result would live up to the hype. Both offenses were locked in to start the game. By the end of the first half, the game was tied 17-17 with both teams not having showing who had the more clear momentum. The third quarter was a defensive battle. Both teams trading punts and turnovers, resulting in a scoreless quarter. The score would remain 17-17 going in to the 4th quarter. Within the first minute of the 4th quarter, ODU would end the scoring drought and kick a FG to lead 20-17. On WVU’s next possession, they would drive down the field and connect on a 14 yard TD pass to take the lead 24-20. ODU would get the ball with about 4 minutes left and start driving from their own 25 yard line. After two successful completions, QB Washington would start to get greedy and go for a double covered receiver and one of the defenders would pick it off and return it to ODU’s 40 yard line. This could have proved costly if WVU were to score a TD, but, ODU’s defense would rise to the occasion and hold WVU to a FG with a little over 3 minutes left to play and WVU up by 7. On ODU’s next drive, as they continued to complete first down conversions, the clock continued to wind down. The OC took notice to this and started going through scenarios in his head. On the one had, if ODU scored too late, WVU could drive down and kick a GW FG. If ODU were to score too soon, WVU could score and leave not much time left for either ODU to try and tie or win the game. ODU’s OC and HC decided to go for the latter option as they had more faith in the offenses to come back and tie it up or win it instead of the defenses preventing them to score. So the team started to go no-huddle down the field. The QB (Washington) continued to convert pass after pass and moving the team down the field. After getting the ball down to the 18 yard line with under 2 to play, Washington would find the TE Banflavy in the endzone for the score, tying the game up at 27 with about 1:45 left to play. WVU would retain the ball with about 1:40 to play and wouldn’t waste time with their possession. Just as the HC and OC feared, WVU would rely on their passing game and on just 4 plays, move the ball 75 yards for the go ahead TD, to make the score 34-27 with about 56 seconds left to play. ODU would get at the 25 yard line to start their drive. With only 56 seconds left and three timeouts, they had to be meticulous in their play calling if they were to reach the endzone. 1st play from scrimmage resulted in a corner pass of about 20 yards and allowed the receiver to get out of bounds. The 2nd play was of the same result just on the other side of the field, pushing the ball down past the 50 to WVU’s 45 yard line. With about 45 seconds left, Washington decides to go middle of the field and hit #1 receiver Zac Pascal at about the 30 yard line, leaving about 39 seconds left to play. He would pass 200 yards receiving on that play and become the record holder for most receiving yards in a single game for an ODU player. The next play pushed the ball down to the 11 with a pass to the TE, leaving about 33 seconds left. After three unsuccessful pass attempts from the 11 yard line, now came a pivotal fourth down play with about 20 seconds left in the game. QB Washington took the snap and started to feel pressured. He released the ball a little sooner than he would have liked but needed to give his receiver a chance to catch the ball. The ball sailed towards the endzone to double covered receiver Zac Pascal (ODU’s #1 receiver and Biletnikoff winner). He turned his head, jumped at the balls highest point and pulled down the pass for the game saving and tying touchdown (his second TD of the game). It was probably the best caught pass of the season and one that, for the time being, saved ODU’s championship hopes. With the tying touchdown, ODU would force WVU in to OT with a score of 34-34. To start OT, ODU would have the ball first. Rather than continuing with their successful passing game, the OC decided to switch it up and go with the run game. The first 4 plays were successful run plays by the running back that would take the ball down to the 4 yard line. Continuing with the momentum, the OC decided to hand it off again to this hot handed possession running back and he would barrel his way through for the go ahead score, making it 41-34 in favor of ODU. WVU would have their chance to tie it up and send it in to double overtime, and they did just that. On the very first play from scrimmage, Crest JR would find his receiver in the endzone for a 30 yard TD pass, tying the game at 41-41 and sending it in to double OT. WVU would get the ball again to start the 2nd OT (since they started on defense with the first possession). However, after three unsuccessful passes, WVU was left with a 4th down and a chance to go up by a FG. The snap to the holder was perfect but the kicker’s aim was less than that. The FG would go wide right and the ball would be turned over to ODU for a chance to win the game and win the school their first National Championship. First play for WVU was a handoff to the running back up the middle for 5 yards. WVU, thinking ODU was going to be conservative and settle for the field goal, decided to play loose coverage pass defense. ODU’s 2nd year OC took notice to this and decided to draw up a surprising pass play, to none other than Zac Pascal. As Washington faked the handoff and stepped back to pass, Pascal made his cut to the corner of the endzone and passed the safety covering him. Washington released the ball as time virtually stood still in the stadium while the ball floated in the air. You could hear a pin drop as the ball continued to spiral downward to the endzone. The ball would finally fall in to a wide open Pascal’s arms for the game winning touchdown and crowning the ODU Monarchs National Champions. The POG would end up being Zac Pascal with 273 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns.

A fitting end to the best game I have ever played for the toughest season I have ever had. After starting the season 0-5, ODU would storm through ACC play and finish the season at 7-5 and beat UNC in the conference championship to go the playoff as an automatic qualifier. ODU would finish the season with an 11-5 record and be the first ever National Champion with 5 losses under its belt.

This was by far, the most fun playoff I have had. I truly enjoyed getting to see the matchups and how they played out. Some of the best football I have seen in the game to date. Below is a screenshot of the bracket and how it all played. Looking forward to continuing my success with ODU in season 3. More than likely I will stick with them as the OC but never know what may chance in the coaching carousel.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Tarheelguy, that was truly epic!

While it sucks that we don't have any new CFB games, the silver lining is that I've been able to get really invested into my ODU dynasty.

I'm in year 5, first year in the ACC after things got too easy in the C-USA. The ACC is no joke, but I'm enjoying the challenge. I'm 3-3(0-3 ACC) with a tough Clemson team up next. I post my dynasty to YouTube for anyone interested, link is in my signature.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Just starting my 6th year as Head Coash at Marshall. Coming off my highest season win total at 12-2 with a second consecutive Liberty Bowl victory. I have made it to a bowl game in all five seasons at the helm. Lost the first three and won the last two against Auburn and Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl, respectively.

The Thundering Herd come into this preseason ranked #9 nationally but when you look at the roster you can tell that is an extremely favorable ranking. The team's strength last season was it's offense lead by a trio of play makers at QB, RB and WR. All three set school records for yards per season and career totals. All three are gone, having graduated. Not to mention the offensive line lost a couple starters. Which would have been fine because they had two great prospects at Guard and Tackle coming into their first years as they sat out last season having been red shirted.....BUT. They both transfered to other schools. Leaving huge gaps on the Marshall offensive line.

The defense is average. Especially in terms of just raw talent and it's been that way since I've been at the helm. Not being able to attract many recruits has made it tough. Right now it's very young in the secondary. The linebacking core is okay but has seniors at all the starting spots and very little depth behind them.

The season will be dictated ultimately by their redshirt Sophmore QB and see if he can lead this weak team to another Conference USA title. He'll be asked to do a lot as his supporting cast may not be able to help him all that much.
The schedule starts with short trip to Virgina to take on the Cavaliers and followed with stroll into the Big House to take on the #19 Wolverines.

Re: How is your dynasty going

I'm going to start a new dynasty this week with a one star team and start at the offensive coordinator position. I am truly excited to start this again because I got my PS3 to run again. Who should I use?

I started off at Idaho (I believe they are 1 star). Small school in a small conference. They're terrible but so are most teams in the sun belt so it will be a challenge, but you still have an opportunity to win games in that conference.

I also liked that they play in a dome so I never had to worry about weather in my home games. It was a nice change of scenery

Idaho is actually not a bad choice. Their stadium is really good and if you choose to stay long term and build them up, you can join the PAC-12.

Re: How is your dynasty going

I am winding down my 3rd season as the OC at Old Dominion and this is how the season has played out so far:

Started out the season with a win at #17 USC by a late touchdown. Second game of the season was at NCSU and it was a close one that resulted in a double OT loss to NCSU. Next up was another close game against TCU at home. I would pull out the victory with a late TD pass to win by a touchdown. I then faced a very tough Louisville team at home. They would end up blowing me out by almost 30 points. I couldn't get anything going on offense and it seemed like they scored on every possession but one, so that didnt help out that much. I would start the season at 2-2 but go on to win my next 4 games (one being against #2 Washington in Washington) to rise to a #15 ranking and a 6-2 record. I then fell in to a trap game against a 1-7 Rutgers. I was up by 10 in the 4th quarter but then the wheels fell off on my offense and defense and they would score 14 unanswered to win the game, putting my record at 6-3 and dropping me to #25 in the rankings. Even though i had lost two conference games by this point, I was still in first in my division and had to win out to go to the championship game. I would do just that by beating Syracuse, Virginia, and Maryland to finish at 9-3 and ranked #11 in the nation.

Overall my regular season could have went better but other than that one blow out against Louisville, my team was pretty much in every game. I have pretty much raised the level of offensive play at ODU by going from a 71 offensive rating in season 1 to an 86 offensive rating in season 3 and leading the league in passing and receiving yards in 2 of 3 seasons. My #1 WR (Zac Pascal) is going for his third straight Biletnikoff award but may fall short this season to a guy from Cal that has about 6 more TD's than he does but the same amount of yards.

I now have to face #18 Clemson (9-3) in the ACC Conf Champ game. I beat them earlier in the season 31-10, so we will have to see if they have a better offensive performance this game. If we can win the Conf Champ game, then we will AQ for the playoff and try to win back to back national championships. However, if we lose then more than likely we wont receive an At-Large bid to the playoff given our record this season and the other teams ahead of us for At-Large consideration. So this game should be excited and tense, to say the least.

I will update once I have finished the whole season.
