We got the OBX!

Went there this summer and my nieces got smacked talk by folks when they found out they were from Fargo... nieces all went to Concordia though.

BTW, if Ohio State wants North Dakota, they should come and take it from the team that owns it.

[Hammerhead]

That map is worthless when you consider how much population density varies from county to county.

[MNLonghorn10]

That map is worthless when you consider how much population density varies from county to county.You need to go back to week 1 and follow it through the season. Univ of Minnesota has probably the most land thanks to north and south dakota

Resurrecting this thread since someone is doing an FCS imperialism map this year. Think it's an NDSU fan, but don't know if it's a BV poster.

PLEASE READ FIRST:
Just to go over the rules, counties are initially assigned solely on the basis of geography. It's derived from the distance of the midpoint of the county to the location of the school. Alaska is initially weird due to no FCS schools in the state and the curvature of the Earth. Each week, the winners claim any territory owned by the losers. FBS games don't count but DII games do. By the end of the season, the national champion should own the entire US but likely won't because of some DII wins and no way to get the territory back.

The first three maps for 2019 will follow.

[Hammersmith]

Initial map of 2019. Again, remember that it's solely based on geography, not popularity, so no whining about the size of UND's share or that NDSU should have a bigger share of Minnesota or whatever.

NDSU claims Delaware(plus Delaware State and Rhode Island). Only UC Davis's core territory is up for grabs next week as all of UCD's previous wins had already lost their territories.

Do we pick up SHSU (+Oklahoma Pan Handle!)? Or does that belong to UND?

You only get land won before the matchup, not after. UND is back on the board this week.

After we were at least 8-0? Doesn’t seem right.

Looks like a playoff reset maybe?

From here on it's mostly just conference play. But we can get the rest of Hawaii later in the season if UNI beats Weber this weekend and we beat UNI later in the season(assuming UNI doesn't lose in between). The only other non-conference game until the playoffs is YSU vs Robert Morris(also this weekend).

We do have the most counties conquered: 254. Rounding out the top-five is Central Arkansas at 245, Illinois State at 233, Montana at 217, and Sac St at 174.

We're third place in population chart at 18.6M, behind Weber at 28.8M and Indiana St at 21.0M. Fourth and fifth are Cornell at 18.2M and Illinois St at 17.9M

We're fourth in area at 263k sqmi, behind Portland St at 657k, Sac St at 316k, and Illinois St at 298k. Fifth place is Central Arkansas at 260k sqmi.


Yes, I was bored, and Perryapsis on reddit already did all the hard work.

I bet we have the most nukes too after beating UND to take over northwest ND. :)

Total number of counties in Texas: 254 (the most of any state). That's pretty much a sign right?

They lost a whole bunch of land to Weber two weeks ago.

If UNI had beat Weber St last weekend, we would have been able to grab all of that WSU purple on Saturday.

Anything that says Weber could’ve been UNI, and foreseeably ours next week with a win.

No. Delaware won that territory after we beat them. You only get what your defeated opponent has at the time you beat them.

[Professor Chaos]

NDSU picked up quite a bit of new territory this week:

https://i.imgur.com/NMwaX1A.png

[Bison 4 Life]

Probably the last bit of land we're going to get in the regular season I see that we don't play anyone that has any more land.

That Weber/Sac State game is going to consolidate a lot.

[BisonHorns]

I love that we have a random island in Hawaii. I think that one is because I ate pineapple last week.

Only if our final 3 opponents get beat the week before they play us? Guess it depends if their remaining opponents are on the map as well.

Looks like UNI is the only MVFC team with any territory left and the Bison have already played them. It doesn't look like there's any way another team can beat UNI and then lose to the Bison still in the regular season so no more conquests until the playoffs.

Really cool! Pretty impressive how the two teams with the longest winning streaks don’t come close to having the most land. Guess that’s why we have the playoffs

Whats alaska before the season? EWU country? That should really be true to size pic.

I think EWU and Davis split it if memory serves.


Correction, Portland State and EWU. Davis had a piece of Hawaii.

So, what happens now to land that can't be won like USD?

[23Bison]

I’m not entirely sure how they even have land on there considering that they had already lost one time in their last 2 games to us and win against SDSU that we had already concurred. That land should have been gone a long time ago.

[TAILG8R]

Because SDSU beat UNI the week before. I'm assuming UNI had some land and that went to SDSU, which then went to USD.

[1998braves64]

They reset it to the playoff teams for playoffs. There is another thread on that one here on Bisonville.

08 UNI beat USD
09 UNI win
10 UNI win
11 UNI win
12 SDSU beat UNI
13 USD beat SDSU

This is the map that has been running all year. It has not been reset for the playoffs. You'll notice a few counties in NE Texas that carry the logo of Mankato Sate. Our old opponent Ferris State from 2013 also has a chance to grab some land this weekend when the play West Florida.

I thought JMU was good. They probably have less land than all the eliminated teams combined. In fact, they probably have less land than just USD and West Florida

[taper]

JMU is 11-0 in the FCS, but a bunch of the teams they beat either lost their previous game(and so lost their territory) or hadn't captured much from others. You can't capture territory that your opponents don't have.

Also more teams on the east coast. So when you win a game, you don't get a tenth of the country like out west haha.

Yea! We squeak by with one county in Tennessee.

I like how NDSU holds everything west of the Mississippi River except for two enclaves of West Florida (D2 champion) and NC A&T. And that the Bison is kinda looking at the rest of the county (competition) and snorting. Like "Bring it on!"

Interestingly, if this post (https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/eol07a/final_2019_college_football_empires_map/fek53oz/) is correct, NDSU would have land on the 2005, 2006, 2015, 2016 "maps" with all others consolidated with the FBS champion going back to 2004 at least.
