2008 PGL NCAA Season - Results & Standings

Welcome to the NCAA 08 Season!

Couple of things to start out with. Same rules from the Madden league apply here. No shenanigans! That is the basic rule, let's just have fair and fun games with this. If we aren't having fun (both winners and losers) then we missed the point. So play nice, or I'll sick "The Quo" on ya!

So first of all, let's start with the preseason poll. Don't be offended if you are ranked low, it doesn't mean a thing. Don't get excited if you are rated high, it also doesn't mean a thing.

NCAA 08 Pre Season Poll



So when you play your games, you'll report your results here in this thread. They should include the following:

Score:
Week:
Star stats: (winner)
Star stats: (loser)

Star stats is going to be our Race for the Heisman! Each team will pick one player on his team to be his designated Heisman candidate (have it figured out by the end of your first game). Each game, win or lose, that player's stats will be recorded and posted here. So make sure the guy doing the reporting knows who the star players are. Let's try and be as complete as we can with these. If your star is a QB, try and get his Attempts, Completions, Yards, TDs. If your star is a RB, look for his attempts, rushing yards, and TD. If your star is a WR, look for his catches, yards, and TDs. Also, keep an eye out for rushing yards for QBs and receiving yards for RBs, etc.

Edit: Since it would be difficult to figure out who your star players are going to be, we are making it so everyone keeps track themselves for the first five weeks. That will give you an idea who your star is. At that point we'll have everyone post your star's stats for the first five weeks and then stats for that player should be added to each game reported.

I think our default setting is the loser of the game is responsible for reporting these stats, but just as long as someone reports here that is cool. So make sure somebody does it.

Once we get results from all the week one games (here in this thread), I'll post a quick recap of the week's game (again, here in this thread) and then we'll have everyone rank the 15 teams again (again, sent as a PM to me). Things will get kinda screwy since some people may already be on week 2 or 3 by the time week 1 is complete for everyone, that's why the weekly recap will be important. At the end of the season the #1 ranked team with play the #2 ranked team for the PGL BCS Game, then the rest of us will play in the "other bowl games", with the exception being the 15th ranked team. Since we have an odd number, maybe we'll let the 15th team play the CPU in the Toilet Bowl.

Your next question is who and when do I play? Here are the matchups for the first week, followed by the full schedule. It's brutal! You play a top 15 team every week! Overall you'll have six home games, six away games, and one bye and you play home-and-away with everyone in your conference:

Week 1
#1 USC (Lord Sam) at #14 Virginia Tech (Dlitch)
#2 Michigan (BigSexyMVP) at #3 Louisville (Kamacauzie)
#4 Texas (JSBFan) at #12 Oklahoma (A Special Friend)
#8 Florida St (SeahawksTD4) at #6 Oregon (Schlickabod)
#9 Ohio St (OhioPro) at #7 Florida (Quo)
#10 West Virginia (Oohchit) at #15 South Florida (Shibumi)
#11 Georgia (Breathofj) at #5 LSU (BMC)
#13 Nebraska (AzRaiderh8r) on Bye

Here is a link to the 2008 PGL NCAA Scheduling thread.



Read down for your opponents by week. Yellow games are home games, grey are away.
I can't think of anything else, so away we go!

Opening day against Lord Sam

Looks great Sammy! Although I think some shenanigans happened with the VT and NB logos in the top graphic.

Either way, excellent work! I'll be ready for our game as soon as a Gamestop in my area can get a damn 360 in stock.

Nice job!!

Well - except for my USF Bulls getting NO LOVE from any of the other 'coaches'!! Typical coaches poll!


I'm not sure about the Heisman... I haven't even played this years NCAA yet, so no idea who 'my guy' will be - especially from day 1. Any chance of just submitting our top player for each game the first 5 weeks?? Maybe a pattern will emerge? Or - not submit, but just track on our own and then start submitting after week 5??

I'd hate to start w/ my QB then find out I have an awesome running game (or receiver) - and vice-versa.

If no one else cares, I'll just shut the hell up and play the game!

That actually sounds like a good idea. The few games of this I've played online with my Hokies, I had a great running attack and a shiite passing game. But playing same-screen multiplay, I was tossing the ball around like so many salads. It's up to Commissioner Samuel, but I think starting the Heisman Chase at week 5 or so sounds cool.

Preseason Tilt

An example of the coolness that Madden lacks:

I present to you Heisman Hopeful Dennis Dixon! (Last night vs. Louisville)

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


See you soon on the field!

I read that totally wrong. I must assume the worst in people. I assumed you were tell him, "Yeah... shut the hell up and play the game. That actually sounds like a good idea!"

I can do the heisman thing either way. It will take some diligence on everyone's part though, as far as that goes. If you're going to write down the stats of your players individually, it should be totally up to that person, not to the other guy. People tend to write down different stats so a good, solid set of guidelines on what to write down would be best.

And Schlick, you did good. You can't directly embed an EA-based video. To get that video directly on PGL, you have to download it to your computer (click download while you're watching it on EA), then upload it back to YouTube. Once you're done with all that, you can then embed it here using the [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] tags (remove the spaces). Or you can just link it.

Yeah - I did the same thing...




Can you do shared accounts on You Tube (or any of the other services?) Maybe we need a Brightcove account - where we can house ALL of the highlights!!


As for keeping stats - if we go the 5 week in route - I was just going to be keeping an eye on players... Ya know - total yrds and TDs for a RB, WR, or QB - nothing really in-depth more than that - and see who's performing come week 5.

Ugh - they REALLY need to build in some leagues / franchises!!!!

I was trying to find info on that, but I know just enough to be dangerous. I wanted to use a twango account, but it looks like they don't support flv playback. I'll have to msg Dmiller to find out for sure. I don't know how Brightcove works... looks like a pay service. youTube would probably work if we all knew the password, etc. and it's easy to use, but it really hammers the video quality down a notch.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Great ideas everyone! I say let's all do our own records for our Heisman candidate for the first 5 weeks. At that point make up your mind and post your star player's stats over those weeks and then do it game by game after that.

There, I said it, and it is law.

I'll go back and edit the first post today so people who haven't or won't read through all these posts *cough*SeahawksTD4*cough* can just read the first one.

Speaking of the file type, I remember Quo had to find a trial version of something to be able to convert his NCAA highlight (you know they one we've all scene 100 times) from .flv into...whatever it ended up being (.wmv? .avi?) to post here.
