So unofficially they are the "Big West" because they are following the lead of the Big East?

Are they grabbing them up in hopes that being a part of the WAC helps them grow so that some day in the future they can field a football team in the FBS because the WAC is anticipating losing teams in the future race to Super Conference status that the higher up conferences will be participating in?

I wonder too if these schools will eventually try to play football. Reading the WAC presidents comments I guess all the football playing FCS schools they tried to get are all too broke right now to make the jump up

No news on conference prestige though....I'm feeling like it won't be fluid.

# 24 Fredonia @ 06/15/11 02:23 AM

Yeah Montana could move up in the next few years if they could just get the revenue. It's possible, I suppose, that Seattle and Denver could field FBS teams in the future... How near or far I have no idea...

# 25 greatness33 @ 06/15/11 02:33 AM

yeah nothing really knew, i read about this, but wish they would give us more about things we dont know about

I always return So Car back to ACC in the same division with Clemson

So this 100% guarantees we can't change all bowl bids. That is going to hurt a little unless the results turn out fine with my classic setups. As long as there is more right than wrong I can live with it. Also, I thought I saw at one point that you can send a conference to a BCS game but not lock them into a bowl, but he didn't show that there so I want to make sure that is still true.

# 29 fcboiler87 @ 06/15/11 10:32 AM

I'm pretty pumped about this. Heck I don't even know if I'd use it, but the level of ability to customize is incredible. At the very minimum, I will definitely get rid of the "Leaders" and the "Legends." That is just awful.

# 30 blamalex @ 06/15/11 10:48 AM

I'm still debating on what my CC's will look like... this is really cool...I wish we could set bowl tie-ins for ALL bowl games.

I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT TEAMBUILDER....

# 31 bnb @ 06/15/11 11:07 AM

i'm pretty excited to take away all of the automatic qualifiers and have everything just based on the standings. about as close to playoffs as we're going to get, it would seem.

# 32 Bullet Sponge @ 06/15/11 12:29 PM

I can't decide if I should tie the Mountain West's new automatic BCS bowl bid to the Fiesta Bowl or just leave them as "any" so they can play in any BCS bowl. There's something neat about being tied to a bowl for tradition etc but it'd also be nice to get a crack at the SEC and ACC teams now and then.

Cannon Fodder? Uh Miss State and Arkansas are not cannon fodder. Try watching the SEC bud.

Or maybe EA's going to put it in next year as a new feature. They'll probably do the same thing for letting you edit all the bowl tie ins.

# 35 blamalex @ 06/15/11 03:37 PM

Yeah you know they will just to add some excitment to next years game...it's still BS though.

Editing Division names is really a functional requirement, whereas editing Conference names is not.

If you bring the MWC Conference up to 12 teams, what would the division names be? They can be defaulted to "Division 1" and "Division 2" (which they are), but it would be kind of lame if you couldn't change it. As a side bonus, you can now also change the Big 10's horrible names :-P

Editing Conference names on the other hand, is not required to the same degree, since you can't actually create a new conference. It also wouldn't make as much sense because the name would still be embedded in logos and images throughout the game.

# 37 dochalladay32 @ 06/15/11 04:51 PM

You won't be editing conference names any time soon... unless they allows us to delete or create conferences, which I doubt is happening as well. Do you honestly think someone working in marketing for the Big Ten, SEC, or WAC says, "Sure, you can use our logos and names and teams and everything in your game... oh and yea, they can delete us, too. We don't care!" Yea, fat chance.

They were included in the original plan for the Pac-16. Ben is talking about the original fantasy scenario where the Pac-10 goes to a 16 team league with the 6 new teams it wants from the Big 12, and that includes Texas A&M. Doesn't matter what their stance was/is in real life. Obviously they and 4 other teams nixed the deal.

Half the people I work with went to SU or are currently attending and won't shut up about this.

One thing I noticed that has me optimistic for TB squads is that protected rivals can be edited... actually they HAVE to be edited. When he made changes to the divisions all the rivalries got screwed up. Washington/Ok State, Stanford/Colorado, Oregon/Arizona, and Ok State/Eastern Washington Continuation School were listed as the protected rivals.

So maybe/hopefully when TB teams are added, they can have rivalry games that actually count.

EDIT: On the downside, there's only ONE new high school stadium.

I believe in my team but, I'm really not so sure how we fair up. But most likely we would be playing in the East division, which is A LOT weaker then the West.

Perhaps at first Florida State would be at a disadvantage but being in the SEC with Florida would Definately help with the recruiting at home. Give it a few years and watch that rivalry be back to it's former glory The East is pretty weak right now, pretty good time for additions to it.

When was the last time that Miss State or Arkansas beat Alabama? Now consider the fact that this is mainly discussion about the game and not the actual NCAA and then Miss State and Arkansas are Absolutely cannon fodder for Alabama especially and how often do they beat LSU? I do watch the SEC, great games, but one doesn't even have to these days. All the game's scores are easily accessible these days, check it out.

Of course the Pac-10 wants texas teams in it, will raise its Prestige up equivalent with the B1G and the SEC. Travelling East for games is much easier on the players then travelling West. That is why it is a bad idea for Texas teams to join the Pac unless they have no better options and teams like Texas and Oklahoma absolutely have better options then playing 4 to 5 games out on the west coast a year.
