FOFC BBCF initial league info

cartman · 04-11-2005, 08:55 AM

Hello all,

edit: The new forum is up. The address is http://www.fofc-bbcf.com/phpbb2

The HTML for site is soon to follow. I'll be doing a lot of design/development, so do be surprised if the HTML is constantly changing over the next couple of weeks.

Here are my plans for the league. Based on how customizeable the game is, these are definitely up for discussion and change. Hopefully we will be able to give good and constructive feedback to Arlie and the guys during their development process.

The league will structurally mirror the current Division 1A setup. 11 Conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, Pac-10, SEC, Sun Belt, WAC), with Notre Dame and Navy as independants. If independants aren't possible, then Notre Dame probably will be in the Big 10 and Navy in Conference USA.

The plan is to have a playoff structure. The idea is to have a 16 team playoff. The entrants will be the 11 conference champions, plus 5 at large teams. If possible, there can also be a secondary 16 or 24 team playoff, or a set of bowl games for the teams that do not make the championship tournament.

You will have to own the game in order to participate. This is due to the export requirements. The participation requirements for human owners will be decided once more details of the game emerge.

Other than these points, this is the initial plan. As Arlie releases more details, the plans will firm up even more. If you are interested in joining, or have any feedback/questions, PM me or reply to this thread. I'll keep this list updated until the new BB is ready.

Here are the all of the teams, including those not yet claimed:

edit: the official list is now at: http://fofc-bbcf.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=103

Just an FYI, but your conference affiliations are most likely going to be different in the game than what you have here. For instance, UTEP will be in CUSA and Louisville will be in the Big East...

Yeah, I was going off of last year's alignments.

WSUCougar · 04-11-2005, 09:05 AM

Washington State, please.

gstelmack · 04-11-2005, 09:06 AM

I would be interested in taking NC State in the ACC.

SirFozzie · 04-11-2005, 09:18 AM

BC in the ACC please.

when the next Pro Football sim from GD comes out, there better be a FOFC league using the draft files from BBCF

(hmm.. there's an idea, too bad that we lost the end of year exports for FOFC FBCB, a FBB league would be fun)

condors · 04-11-2005, 09:48 AM

I am interested in Temple (not sure if they are still in the big east)

I'll take Florida, please.

Icy · 04-11-2005, 10:21 AM

I'll take the Toledo Rockets, just because the city where i live is the "original Toledo" in Spain

Passacaglia · 04-11-2005, 11:45 AM

Wait, the Michigan coach wants to be an alternate for Penn State?!? wtf?

Johnny93g · 04-11-2005, 11:53 AM

I would love to be Notre Dame if they are available

JeeberD · 04-11-2005, 12:01 PM

In the other thread sov was making fun of trying to start a league this far before the game was released...

His first choice, Penn State, was already taken. If the current Penn State claimer decides not to participate, the alternates get right of first refusal, in their listed order.

GoldenEagle · 04-11-2005, 12:25 PM

Put me down for Memphis.

I understand the process...I just dislike the fact that the Michigan coach would rather be coaching at PENN STATE.

When I think of Yankee style and Florida, all that comes to mind are old people driving Buicks with New York plates at 45 MPH in the fast lane with their left turn signal stuck on.

Franklinnoble · 04-11-2005, 01:05 PM

I'll take Arizona State.

Passacaglia · 04-11-2005, 01:54 PM

If there will be hiring/firing in the game, I'd like to start somewhere small (like the C-USA or wherever) and work my way up..

TazFTW · 04-11-2005, 03:10 PM

I'll take Hawaii.

This is one of the areas I am sure will change once we get our hands on the game. It will depend on how the hirings/firings are handled. My thoughts at the moment are to use some methods we have discussed in the FOFC-FBCB league. Maybe give all new coaches a grace period (4 or 5 years) before they can be fired, and have a manual appeal process to fellow coaches if someone feels they were fired unfairly.

Neuqua · 04-11-2005, 03:14 PM

I'll take control of NIU.

A-Husker-4-Life · 04-11-2005, 04:58 PM

I'll take a team and of course it has to be Nebraska....

Put yourself down as the alternate. Lots of things could change between then and now.

Buccaneer · 04-11-2005, 08:30 PM

Put me down as an alternate then.

If QS is so inclined, he could still join up and pick Navy or something.

Don't worry, I will still manage to blow it in big games

.

On a serious note, I don't view any of the game code for any of our games, so I won't have an advantage from that.

No worries, just giving you a hard time. Now if Cal runs off a streak of 6 or 7 national championships, then we might have issues...

JeffNights · 04-11-2005, 09:06 PM

I'd like to take the Western Michigan Broncos

Why? Well Michigan was picked, then i see the LionKing's hairy ass nabbed EMU, so I figure i'll take the Broncos and whip him back and forth across I-96

Oh, I know Michigan State is still avalible....but please......

Ajaxab · 04-11-2005, 10:19 PM

I'll take Iowa if no one's claimed them yet.
