2017 Bowl Week Discussion

I've looked at SC's roster and I would be taking a huge hit if I were to make the switch. I've won 8 straight Big East Titles and have a winning Bowl Game record, currently. So the job offer at SC wouldn't be completely out of the question. If Buc really wants out, I don't want to be alone in the Big East. I'm also sick of getting the shaft in the Big East some seasons with the weak schedule. It would fill up the Big 10 and the Pac 10, the two confs without conf champ games... make scheduling a bit easier. I looked at their roster and while they look good on paper, they'll take a HUGE hit with all the graduating seniors so I would be behind the 8ball, especially with the team I'd be leaving (AND TOMMY X1000)

You may have a struggle the first year or two...but you will accumulate talent fast....what is there prestige ranking?

I'd be down with \

Year 1 - 15 Recruits Max , 4 5* Player Max
Year 2 - 20 Recruits Max , 5 5* Player Max

5***** School Prestige, opportunity to drop to 4stars which would negate any recruiting restrictions, right?

And struggling shouldn't have to be threw ammount of recruits, I would have a lot of work to do as you well know about how STUPID EA is at recruiting. I'm not worried about a huge class but I have quite a few positions I'd need to recruit or else I'd have like no backup for!

I am fine with whatever honestly. I just want to play with my Bucks lol

More signs of life from ASU.... now trail 27 to 17 with 50 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

Oklahomas quick strike and fast paced offense says not so fast my friend... 34 to 17 with 12 ticks left in 3rd.

So this is gay... I have a decent season and because the Big Least bowl ties are terrible I get to play a 6-6 Akron team lol. That's for finishing 2nd in the conf.


I k ow this will get some rebuttle but gruden and ax mentioned they wouldn't care, but if I cAn take over Ohio state with some restrictions or something I would love to do so... Is there a way we cAn make that work. If not I will build USf still. Just wondering

ahem..i care....they are stacked....and it goes against the criteria we have set for moving...which you have already done....plus it would leave macc a loner in the big east

Ouch, and then my return man fumbles the kickoff, and is returned for a touchdown...


41 to 17 with 5 secs left in 3rd, may just about do it.

macc would come pac 10

And I would be extatic to coach in the Pac 10, an opportunity I haven't had since the beginning of Q4TB. But I would be leave an amazing built squad for balance, not for preference you kno? So I'm trying to kind of make this a fair deal you know? I'm all for not being able to go at every guy I'd want... but I would have some work to do in terms of recruiting.

And Ax I see you're alive and on the forums! Get back to me on a hard time dude!

I would say restrictions still should be in place...4 or 5 star not going to make a big difference in regards to schools like OSU/USC....EA has a built in advantage for these schools in regards to recruiting...

and macc having to feel obligated to move cuz of one persons want to play with their team.....i wish we would all just stay where we are

Everyones SAID that but nobodies really proven it. I've done offline ODs with USC that I didn't even get a top 10 recruiting class. So if they were down to 4stars or even 5... it wouldn't be a cakewalk to a top 10 recruiting class. And I think there's the "unfair advantages" everyone talks about only because they start as a 6star school. Pitt couldn't recruit SHIT when I started there, now I almost pick and chose who I want because theyre 6star.

the chance to coach at your dream school and build it up would be the fun u would think?....if you don't want to leave stay at Pitt if want even if it's unbalance, and you would probable have the Big East locked up each year, you would still have 2 to 3 user games and would have to earn a shot at a NC....INMO it's should almost be mandatory that CONF with no CONF Champ game has to have 3 users....

I would be fine with recruiting restrictions of something like SR (-3) instead of (+3)...10 seems real low, but like I said I could care less lol

I think it would be cool if macc and buc went to USC and Ohio state

I do NOT want to be in the Big East alone that would be BORING as hell. Buc coming in and making me have to earn it was a huge interest spark. I agree I think 3 in Big 10 and 3 in Pac 10 would be gravy. I know Titan, Gator are down... I know GGang said he likes the gauntlet in the past, too... so the only person it would really affect is Jesse who doesn't seem like he's down. I think 6 users battling for either NC/Rose Bowl bids would be crazy drama.

me too actually.....but whatever you guys want to make it work is fine with me...just want peeps to like there team if they stay or move...

yeah...buc is getting a ready made team that is set for a National title run....no matter what restrictions are put in place.....sounds real fair

yea 2 of the 3 users could make a BCS bowl out of those conferences

So it would make those matchups awesome.

Plus in the Big 10. Penn St vs OSU, and Mich vs OSU, if I were to take them over are both Rivalry games. That would be intense to say the least.

I'll have to look at thieir roster again, but I think their studs are all Sr's

Heck I will even cut a 5* or two from their current recruiting class. I am not needing an adv, I just simply want to play with them. So I am cool with whatever restrictions you guys decide.

would there be any restrictions you could come up to make you feel better about it?...sound like bucc is open to anything if he is allowed to move?

any user bowl games been scheduled yet?

I would like to get started tonight with off-season if possible. Tomorrow night will be a no go for me.
