This looks pretty cool its like we have 4 regions. We got the Tallahassee,Madison,Auburn,and State College regions. That would be sweet if we could play all of the playoff games at a neutral site like have all of the Tallahassee region games at FSU and so on. Then have all of the Final four and championship game at one of the BCS bowls we would switch off every season between different BCS bowls. I wonder if its possible to do this?

Not unless the games are unranked which is stupid...

If the games are unranked you can pick where you can play at? If that's the case that would be epic. I like your idea Starshaw. Kind of like how NCAA does it. Each year we switch it.

Idk I'm just guessing you could switch the location. Unrank is dumb tho. Call me crazy but I want credit for beating ppl.

I agree BigJang and you should get credit b/c you've shown a lot of work ethic, commitment and good leadership traits. BUT...I think it would be awesome to have one region in Columbus, OH, etc, etc. The championship & final 4's will be at the Rose Bowl. Does that mean we can make it night games too? ??

Come on now we could play unranked to do this. This is like the most epic idea I've came up with.

I love you starshaw...just clarify for me this...
- If it's unranked can you switch it to real time weather/night games?
I friggin love this idea. Each region will have it's tourney field and then the elite 8 will be played at Baton Rouge and the final 4 will be played at the Rose bowl. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, this thread is not intended for you to go back and forth. I don't care about your thoughts on eachother, this is about a new idea topic. Only talk about that and do it in a mature way, that's all I ask.

Im not sold on this... the majority of people that play this game have to much riding on their "personal" rank and record. Going into the game knowing that its unranked and doesnt mean a thing.... I think your going to see more quiting and antics.
Like when Bigjangy falls behind 14-0 in the first quarter to Ohgeez.... he'll probly just dc himself and say oopps. sorry.... and it doesnt impact the DNF or record.

You see that regardless. Maturity goes along way, if that's the main reason why your not sold, please come up with a better one.
I think it's a cool idea, i've always wanted to do this and so many others have as well. I'm sure people can sacrifice their ranking for a few games. We're gonna do a shit ton of seasons so you can play as many ranked games as you want.
How could you not like this?!?!?!

unranked is fine. However weather is the lose.

I just want night games during the playoffs, makes it that much more intense and gives you a playoff atmosphere. Just make it 75 and sunny. the weather is an easy fix.
We're doing this...get some. I'll look into it more and figure out all the details, good shit starshaw. Thanks.

Good to know home field advantage is worth something throughout the playoffs now. Sweet.

Post by BigJangaLang on Aug 26, 2011 10:56:40 GMT -6
This rule helps the guys with lesser regular season and penalizes the ones who adapted and overcame. Pretty stupid honestly, especially when home field advantage has a lot to do with how teams play.

Encase you can't read it says, "I'll look into it more and figure out all the the details". What that means is that I have to think about more and figure it out. It's getting old having to explain myself when you guys jump to conclusions.

i like the idea... thats one thing about the game that i enjoy ... the stadiums/crowd ect...
you're right... people will quit and all that regardless.
Heres another wrinkle for the playoff debate... the top 8 playoff teams are "regional" hosts. The regional games are played at their home stadium. Then we add 2 teams from the remaining 16 playoff teams into each respected host site. This leaves you with 8 - 3 team regional sites. The top seed has a bye and the other two seeds play... the winner advances to play the host team of the regional. Winners from the regional advance leaving an 8 team bracket played at your designated "COFL National Championship site".

I do agree with the HFA, we'll work something out. Maybe the #1 seed of that region is where all the games are played or something like that. I'll think it over. Go cry about BigJang.

I think you can turn the "home field" advantage on/off in unranked... not sure but it seems that way.

For the NC game it will definitely be at a neutral site. Keep pumping ideas and telling me the wrinkles and i'll look at them all. I'll be gone from 1pm till late night tonight and i'll look at it all when i get back. Thanks.

You do know there is a way to have RANKED night games & have weather!! Not to sure about the neutral site!! I'll try to see if it can be done next time i'm in a lobby game!!

Something to do with going into exhibition and going to lobby and sending the invite. Something like that. I've never tried it.
I'm with Jang to a point. I'm not a fan of unranked games but seeing as I probably won't make it past the first round this go around, it doesn't even matter.

DB, let me know, I want live weather, I hate playing sunny day games when it's 9pm

Anyone know if we can do this or not? I don't want to change the weather but it would be cool to have nuetral site for the championship final 4 championship games. I'm on right now trying to figure it out. Nothing is easy.
