Hey guys. I think we need a formula for how the scheduling will work for this thing. Something based on class distribution might be better than RPI as one team with a low RPI BUT losing 5 Srs. might get stuck playing a team with 5 returning Srs. Anyhow any suggestions please post. I think next season most of us have done a good part of scheduling so for this season and next Ill do an unofficial tracking so that we dont lose interest.

Game 1

Maryland 73 @ OSU 65 (ACC 1 Big 12 0)

Games 2, 3, 4

Last night the Big 12 swept the 3 games between the conferences.

Iowa St. 70 @ Clemson 53 (ACC 1 Big 12 1)

UNC 54 @ Texas 65 (ACC 1 Big 12 2)

FSU 35 @ Kansas 67 (ACC 1 Big 12 3)

Games 5 and 6

#1 and #2 went at it for the game of the night in all of Naismith and the game certainly lived up to the hype.

G Tech 39 @ Nebraska 61 (ACC 1 Big 12 4)

#2 Duke 69 @ #1 Iowa St. 66 (ACC 2 Big 12 4).

Game 7

Missouri 52 @ Wake Forrest 71 (ACC 3 Big 12 4).

Game 8

NC State 59 @ Baylor 61 OT (ACC 3 Big 12 5).

Game 9

Iowa St. 71 @ NC State 67 (ACC 3 Big 12 6).

Game 10

UNC 53 @ Mizzou 67 (ACC 3 Big 12 7).

Game 11

NC State 47 @ Mizzou 50 (ACC 3 Big 12 8).

Game 12

Kansas 56 @ Duke 52 (ACC 3 Big 12 9).

maybe seniors x4 + juniors x3 + sophs x2 + frosh..just an idea.. i know i dont want to set around and figure that all out

I know Im not in either of these conferences but maybe have 6 coaches from each conference give a list of 2 games they feel would be fair considering next years circumstances. IE, players leaving, possible drafts, etc. Then have 1 or 2 unbiased coaches select the games.

Using suggestions from both conferences would make it as even as I think it could get.

I got dogged but will definitely be ready for the "real thing". just couldn't get my team motivated for the preliminary challenge.

btw, for the record i'll play anyone as long as the home vs. away is changed each season.

oh damn, didnt see it above!

All good be proud of your win!

Final unofficial Results

Obviously this was not constructed from any type of organized method, but decided to track it simply for fun and to encourage both conferences to engage in this competition moving forward. 15 teams participated and the Big 12 came out ahead 9 wins to 3.

i'm in and would like a structured format with one game per team counting toward the challenge. schedule me for whoever you would like. i'm game to play anyone.

What I was thinking is, we can base is on returning players. Previous years RPI, this would alleviate some of the concerns about waiting until late in the season to schedule. We can also have the same two teams play consecutive seasons so that the home team isnt an issue.
