Clean-slated Bowl Bids

[Dj2360]

So here's a question...

Using the editor, has anyone removed every single bowl-bid, and left every bowl at an "At-large"... As is tradition, each BCS Bowl would go to the highest ranked team, with the 2-conference limit... But the rest of the bowls would then be given to equally ranked teams, so #20 would play #21, etc...

Just wondering if anyone has ever done this, and what are your thoughts/results from implementing this?

I tried making all of the bowl bids "generic" once and it just corrupted the file. I assume you can do what you are asking but I just did it wrong. That would be very interesting to see how it would effect the postseason polls, as presumably no one could jump more than two spots.

Can you post the xml you are using?

True, but also conferences cant play one another... E.G. if Florida, LSU, and Georgia are all ranked #12, #13, and #14. Then #12 would have face an oponent from a different conference, probably ranked #15... Etc...

And just to clarify, I have successfully done this in a dynasty, for only one bowl season (so it's possible), but then I changed it back to bid oriented, after the results... No reason in particular, but I only ask the question to see if anyone has had a long-standing dynasty using this format...

This also would pose the idea of complete balance within the conferences... Almost stripping the Power-5 Stigma, and making everything an equal playing field... Would be perfect for people that are into deregulation, promotions, and what not.

You'll have to clarify, I don't know what you're referring to when you say "xml"

bruteforce and the dynasty editor... You have to decrypt your PS3 dynasty file using bruteforce... Then you open it using the Dynasty Editor.xml, but you change your dynasty file to .mc02 because the editor must open that type of file... Then you can edit your dynasty file... change it back from .mc02, then encrypt it with bruteforce... and youre done
