Dont know what it is really.

I am playing with Buffalo. I figure I'll never be fucking getting Nebraska in the NDL, so I'll be playing a majority of my games with the Bulls.

At the rate you're going, you might even lose Buffalo, if that's even possible.

I have two wins. I'm returning.

I think I am gonna stick around with Tulane, I already beat my win goal of 1, but I wanna make a bowl game.

i figured u picked nebraska as your season showdown team, OU is mine even though i wont have them anymore after this season

Can someone explain to me what Season Showdown is for at this point in the season?

Now that the season has started you can play your teams real life schedule either against the cpu or another human that has the other team as the favorite team.

Maybe we could start a scheduling thread for guys to play these games against each other on the side?

Granted not all 119 teams will be represented but I'm sure there will be some fun games to play this season when your favorite school matches up against your buddies.

Week 1 - Virginia Tech @ Alabama for example.

Any hardcore Bama fans out there that want to dance with my Hokies? I know Biffy bleeds dat Crimson nonsense How about it?

Now that I have really digested this Season Showdown shit, let me give my letter grades to it.

Concept: A+
Practicality: B
Execution: D+

The sportsmanship bonuses/penalties are over-the-top ion some instances (you simply cannot throw the ball at all if you are winning big, a situation I am luckily rarely in) and weak in others.

But the biggest fuck up is this: they didn't go with averages or weighted scores. There will never be a big upset, ever. They should have weighted the scores and/or used an average based on the number of registered users.

Secondly, there is no incentive to win your own conference.

Sounds a lot like the ratings for the NCAA game as a whole.

You don't have to have either team as your favorite team. You just play the games as scheduled. Your favorite team will still get the points for your win or loss though.
