Elite Challenges Topic

For this season, I'm going to pick out ONE game for each week in each division. Essentially, these games will be games that I consider a complete tossup. I'll be keeping up with each coaches record in these games and will be posting them at the end of the season. This doesn't really serve any purpose other than to see how each coach fairs in games against equal opponents. If this is a dumb idea, I'll kill it at the end of this season or next season but if you guys like it, let me know and I'll keep up with it.

I'll be posting this season's games later tonight.

A couple of things: 

1. I tried to not give anyone more than two games, and I tried to spread it around the conferences. I also tried to find games that have been close in the past or coaches that have rivalries with one another. 

2. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I am giving YOU the choice of ONE more game. You the fans, can pick ONE game to sitemail me. I will then add the game with the most requests to the list. This can be any game, even two sim teams but it's up to you to find the game and sitemail me. You have until 6PM EST on Friday to send your suggestion.

Also, I will be choosing three level 4 bowls and all of the level 5 bowls as additional elite games. 

Coaches elite game records will be kept and posted on the forum throughout the season.

cjsweat you, Bob, and  a couple of other guys that do extra stuff for the coaches of the game. Really give the game an interesting twist. What ever you guys put out is top rated in my book. Thanks a million.  SLERRRRRRRRRRRRP! 


You have just won the coveted SLERRRRRRRRRRP!  award.  The only other coach to receive the SERRRRRRRRRP!  award is Bob for his much coveted GUESS REPORTS.

You didn't put LSU vs Notre Dame as a week three elite challenge? You're slipping CJ.

You could always try reading things before you post. You also had the option to submit your request for an additional game and failed to do so.

I did read it. I just read it today so I was a few days late. I just figured it being an "Elite Challeng" that there would be an elite game listed like LSU vs Notre Dame. Since they both are elites.

Apparently you didn't read it. 

"Essentially, these games will be games that I consider a complete tossup." 

"I tried to not give anyone more than two games, and I tried to spread it around the conferences. I also tried to find games that have been close in the past or coaches that have rivalries with one another."

There are plenty of games featuring "elite" programs. The word "elite" has more definitions than a top program in Gridiron Dynasty. Not sure what's had you so upset recently but it's becoming obvious that you're just nitpicking.

I'm just tired of hearing about Texas all the time. There are plenty of other teams that can be better than Texas each of the last four or five seasons that you always have them ranked number one. They should have gotten beat by a not so good Tennessee team today. I would rank Minnesota, Ohio St., or Penn St ahead of then in any of those seasons. I just think you are a real life Texas fan and you bring that over to GD.

I'm a Liberty and Duke fan. I don't care for Texas, in fact, I've said on the show that Texas is stupid for not inviting Cincinnati and USF into the Big12. I've gone after the real life Texas Longhorns several times with my rants. Even if I liked Texas, what would I gain from ranking them number one in a power rankings for a fake game? 

FYI - Coastal Carolina is Liberty's biggest rival. I ranked them 7th. If any real life favoritism transferred to WIS, it would be at Coastal and you would never see them in the top 20. lol

Actually I always pick Penn State. Every year I think they are going to win. Tkechub always seems to have the scariest athletes.
