I think it would be interesting to see how it would come out if someone else did a bracket of their own choosing, in their own thread of course. I really don't mean to sound like a dick or anything. I just really would like to do this to completion.
I was down 41-14 at half. Had several turnovers, one really stupid INT early that really got the ****train in motion, and a fumble after that that put me behind the eight ball entirely. I did battle back, but I just couldn't stop Petty. He threw and ran all over us.
69-42 final. I know Wazzu isn't great on D, but Baylor is my pick to win so far. Seastrunk went out at half and they still killed me.

Did you ever think about playing with one team till halftime and controlling the other team the 2nd half? I like to do that sometimes just seeing who the better team is.

That would be weird to me. lol. I mean, I think I get some pretty competitive games with the sliders I'm rolling so I have never really thought about it. I actually figured this game to be an upset (BU-WSU) because I am an air raid guy and Wazzu has some decent skill players and a good QB.
(preface: I am a bit drunk, but I really wanted this one)
Okay. I did Texas Tech-Oregon.
Oregon suffers from the "I have an option QB" syndrome. But, they still played a very good game, and without a few really good breaks that I got would have won.
It was a very close game throughout. Mariota is an animal on the run. DAT is a freak too.
I took advantage of the lack of men in the box, and ran for a ton of yards.
I gave away a safety early after being up 10-0 that let Oregon climb back into it.
I think Tech should get decently deep. Will I be able to beat elite tier talent that runs more orthodox offenses? I have no idea, maybe not. I think 32 points is about right for Tech in a game with Oregon. IRL I think Oregon would probably score near 50-60 though.
Anyway, fun to play with my favorite team in a playoff like this. It is a blast doing this.
Again, I do take requests on what matchup I should play next. I'm thinking Fresno State-Houston may be the next one.
Did Houston-Fresno. Derek Carr played terribly. I don't what the deal was, but he was missing wide open guys the entire first half. They got a little on track in the third, but is was already out of hand so I simmed from about the mid third to the end.
UH has some nice quick WRs and some decent backs. Probably going to raise CPU RDEF to 100.
RBK 0 and CPU RDEF seemed to help a bit. I still ran pretty well, but it was a little less wide open, and I think I had my lowest YPC since I started this.
I played Rice-Miami. It was a gutty 20-10 win, but it solidified the idea that QBACC needs a bump. Another game with just a terrible CPU QB performance.
Charles Ross is a fun back to run with. He's got okay speed, but he's tough to bring down. The QB is decently quick as well.
