GWJ BCS League - NCAA 12 (360)

Big Ten doesn't need Notre Lame anymore so it's all good. :P

Let's be clear -- Nebraska is a HUGE pick up for the Big 10. I've always liked Big 10 football, but the addition of Nebraska makes the conference so much more compelling to me. There should be some interesting rivalries develop. I could see Nebraska v. Iowa becoming a good game (although I don't remember if they're in the same division or not). Of course, Nebraska v. OSU should also be pretty interesting.

It's going to be an exciting year, especially with a championship game at the end of the season.

All that said, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to have a team with *real* national significance join.

I'm happy with the addition too. Wish we got Notre Dame too though.

As much as I hate them, it would have been a good draw locally.

I've made a decision to move Indiana in over Omega, because I have not heard from him yet, and I would like to get things moving as far as league creation within the game. With that said, now that we have 12 owners and a full league, please let me know what teams you want to play with if you are undecided. Here is the complete college ratings spreadsheet to help you with your final decision. Please remember that all 6-star schools are off limits.

I forgot about the Bowl tie-ins. That's a great idea. We can set many of the bowl games against ourselves as well. We can "steal" all the ones we like. I'm partial to the Cotton, Holiday, and the Chic-Fil-Et (spelling) as well as the Hawaii Bowl!

Oh yeah, there will be bowl tie-ins. And I will try to bring my creative side out for the bowl names

The Dunder Mifflin Bowl. Winner gets a reem of paper and a paper weight.

I'm excited to see what the bowl names/league names come out to be!

The Sterling-Cooper Bowl. Winning team gets to light up a bunch of cigarettes and treat women like objects.

Bonus points if you get the reference without looking it up
Also thought it would be cool to name my kid Sterling Cooper if it was a boy. Too bad I am having a girl. I suck at putting the stem on the apple, but I will enjoy having a kid that will worship the ground I walk on until she starts dating

Is it to late for me to join? or are you full?

Can I drink some bourbon too?

I had to look it up. It's on my list of stuff to do though. I won't ruin what it is.

Everyone come up with your best names for conferences and divisions!

GWJ East
Frozen Lakes Division
Appalachian Division

GWJ West
Coastal Division
Great Plains Division

I like Shag's suggestion

And in the final minute of the 11th hour, Omega jumps back into the 12th spot. Sorry Ihaida. Funny thing was, I was going to give Omega until Monday, but I wanted to get started right away.

This clip is definitely appropriate

I 2nd Shag's ideas!

This was my idea...........

GWJ East
Pittsburgh Sucks
Boise St Sucks

GWJ West
Michigan Sucks
Boise St REALLY Sucks

In all seriousness, I will have some ideas after the weekend is over, and hopefully everyone lets me know the team they want to play as (Psst, still waiting on 5 people!)

I like the way you think!

I move to have Kush removed as commissioner.

Anyone who wins a National Championship, and loses a regular season game, doesn't get a vote

can i pick the gators or do i have to choose from a certain pool of teams

That video is about as appropriate as using a clip from Blue Chips to make a point about NCAA Football.

It is appropriate, because I technically kicked Omega out, but let him back into the league. It's a quick movie line, nothing out of the ordinary is taken from it.

You pulled a 4 minute clip in which Nick Nolte is talking about cheating in basketball, and said it was like me making a speech as a Rutgers football coach.

My clip is WAAAAAAY more accurate.

Speaking of things heard during the season, I found a clip of Firesloth, giving a little pep talk to his team before he played Boise St in South Bend

Unfortunately, unless the rest of the league doesn't mind, the Gators are off limits. We banned 6-star schools.

If he's Florida, I get Alabama and I get to make everyone 99 overall.

Sorry, but there is no Jackwagon Conference.

And on that note, Florida is off limits

Actually, I'm going to make this decision without a league vote on this one. 6-stars are out, like originally stated. SpyNavy's league allows 6-stars, so if you join up on his as well, you can probably play as Florida there. But here, we're going to bring it a little down to Earth.

*EDIT*

I know. That'd be like someone using LSU in the last dynasty.

Oh...wait.

It's totally appropriate, just not for the situation you used it.

Also, Blue Chips > Godfather 3
