Ok, post #1 is updated with the Conference schedule for everybody. As a reminder this is what the CPU spits out and I cannot change anything regarding those schedules. While I am at work I will be working on putting together the non-conference games tentative schedule and then tonight will enter them to see if the cpu spits anything back at me.
The cpu non-conference requests I remember so far as is follows:
Colorado - Illinois
South Florida - Florida St
ECU - NC St or So Miss (Marshall really isn't a listed rival for you)
TCU - Baylor
Army - Navy
Teams that will have a CPU non-conference game that have not stated a preference is: Kentucky, BYU, Texas A&M & Oklahoma St (if no preference, I will give you guys games against ranked teams)
A couple of notes about the conference schedule. Michigan St gets lucky and don't play Ohio State & Illinois? Of course this would be hilarious if Ohio State goes undefeated and thus screws Michigan State out of the Rose Bowl/Title game
Olaf - The default Army schedule in the MAC does not even schedule the Army/Navy game??? WTF? So will schedule that for Week 14 (cuz teams with a Conference Championship game are not able to schedule a game for Week 15, as I double checked)
msj - figures... right when you move to the SEC you would have finally played me during the regular season as I play Vandy this year.
BoxCar - Welcome to our dynasty... dang that would be a grueling real schedule to play AT Clemson, AT Miami & AT North Carolina in consecutive weeks as all 3 of those teams are in the Top 15.
The Big 12 gang - so Colorado doesn't rotate off your schedules every other year. You guys all play each other again. And you still will have 3 human non-conference games giving you guys 5 Human games this year. (6 if you meet in the conference title game) So let me know if you guys still want 3 human non-conference games, or if I should scale it back to 2.

As of right now... yes. But that is why I brought that point up. Since I assumed (wrongly) that Colorado would have rotated off your conference schedule this year. So wanted the Big 12 guys input on whether I should cut 1-2 of those human non-conference games.

Ya did? Must not have noted it in my spreadsheet when you made the request, sorry bout that. (was too lazy to go back 10-15 pages to check
) So will keep the Louisville game. (I was thinking of letting one of the Big 12 teams play Ohio State, especially if I cut another human game from them)

Calmer than you are.
I probably said it in my head, but you were supposed to know it anyway.Piney;1411067; said:Ya did? Must not have noted it in my spreadsheet when you made the request, sorry bout that. (was too lazy to go back 10-15 pages to check
Actually...no. :tongue2:

I'll use it as filler when I get there.
So far looks like a rematch of the National Title game will happen next season. Trying to marry the next 2 seasons of what we already posted, and changing it up to add Virginia and to understand the new conference alignment (as you were scheduled to play ECU as one of your human games, but that is now a conference game) Also had Colorado playing ECU & Kentucky next season. But since both of you guys are in the SEC, trying to switch it up some.
Throw in another oddity. ECU (msj) will be the first one to complete a full cycle of playing every human team available at least once (in the regular season)

Since I brought it up in the Big10/Pac10 thread. Bringing it over here since we are at the Pre-Season where people set their depth charts.
DO NOT exploit position changes in your depth chart. IE, do not put your #2/#3 HB at #1 FB, or a WR as your #1 TE. I do not want to see ANY HB/WR with 90+ spd in the FB/TE depth chart. Just use common sense. A 6'1 190lb TE rarely exist. A FB under 220 lbs is also rare. And a HB that weighs 235lbs and has 90 spd does not get moved to FB that doesn't happen either (ie really... would you move Beanie Wells to FB?)
I plan on doing a check of depth charts to see if this happens alot (at week 1 and randomly through the season). So giving out a warning regarding this issue.
Also I don't want to flood this thread with a discussion of this issue. If you don't like what I said above, please PM me with your explanation/objections. If you have questions regarding this, PM me.
When I check the depth charts if I have any questions I will PM you for an explanation.
I also know I missed bringing this up before position changes. So what is done is done. But expect for me to keep an eye out of people switching positions in the future. (if you have a problem with that... PM me too)

Can I add or what? Fixed my original post regarding schedules. The Big 12 teams are already scheduled to play 5 human games. (2 in-conference and 3 non-conference games) And if two humans get to the conference title game they would have 6. (Which might not be as easy since Oklahoma/Texas might be a bitch to beat with these sliders, as they should be)Regarding the home/away question. It makes sense but in practice it would be next to impossible to do. It would throw off the teams you are playing at home and it would cause another couple of teams to have 1 home game and 3 away games against humans. Plus it might be better to have a CPU home game for recruiting purposes.
So what I am doing about that is alternating (since you guys are playing 3 human non-conference games) So one year you will have 3 home/2 away and the next year 2 home/ 3 away. I actually will set it up when you don't play Colorado that you will have an even 2/2 split (and in those years Colorado will only play 3 human games keeping with the alternating home/away thing)
Anything other than that makes scheduling even tougher than it already is.

Yep
And next year (for this conversation let us assume you play Colorado again next year) You would play TAM & SMU at home and play Colorado, S. Florida & Michigan St away. And if you don't play Colorado you would have an even 2/2 split and the next time you play 5 games you would have a 2H/3A split.
