Week 3 Commissioners Classic Slate

We have programs who, for their commissions, would be worthwhile candidates to demote to Division III, NAIA or Junior College for their recruiting, which is an 1980s Methodology. And, speaking of methodology, like we need to loot more crates without permission, I thought Ohio State and Discipline where arm in arm. Instead, they are running out of people like Anamosa and running backwards to the point they need to be Olympic Stadium again like the Cold War between them and Austin,TX is flaccid and cold at best. And, I am thinking Maryland needs a longer Fridge to remake them into a Top 25 Athletic Department and Mississippi will raise ships and win the SEC while Postseason Eligible at the Middle of the Night.

08132018
"1st Lawrence Border War Since 2005"
1 Missouri  1-0
  Kansas      0-0
Not only being the Champion of Rivalry Ethics, but, also if we had Lawrence Storefronts Defrost in Time "Beat MU" signs that hadn't been out in 13 Years. And, if and when we buried the hatchet on the Blood Feuds we are in, we'd need more new programs,too.

5 Indiana 1-0
   Kentucky 0-1
The Revival Barrel is in Lexington for Indiana's Taking. And, this is from a Man who says Good Publicity is Public Safety, even though he'd not change the past, but, have to leave a solid foundation instead.
08142018
  Texas Tech
  Boston College
Generally, Texas Tech doesn't play in the Northeast for anything. But, I feel Chestnut Hill would be roaring back into a renaissance.
  S. Alabama
  N. Dakota
I feel if Grand Forks had a Really...BIG....NAME to draw into College Football, it would spur ticket sales in a heartbeat.
20 Savannah State
     Notre Dame
I am not leave it to beaver. And, if we have the Smallest College Football Program to beat Notre Dame at Notre Dame Stadium, it'd be a coup, and so would be a complete in season 2-0

 Syracuse
 Alabama
Generally, Syracuse doesn't play Non-Conference Opponents in the Deep South. But, I feel what would upsetting the Division IA #1 and not have it fall into their lap would be monumental.

Valdosta State
Oregon State
Oregon State is not disciplined. And, I would have been happier if they'd lost the College World Series, which would have spurred an NCAA Investigation on. And, a Valdosta State win in the Pacific would be Monumental
08152018
Upper Iowa
East Carolina
This would start a Monumental Run of a Couple Days
Chicago
Johns Hopkins
Chicago vs. Baltimore: What's not to like or love
Buena Vista
Virginia
The Next to Last of a Landmark College Football Day in Slate
Linfield
Charlotte
I really like this challenge in upsetting the Best in the West in Charlotte to change the slate.
08162018
Washington State
Howard
COACHING would be key, as we've not had a Mike Leach vs. Mike London Head Coaching Matchup.
UT Permian Basin
Ohio State
Last year, having UT Permian Basin upset Ohio State in Ratliff be king, and I think the Upset in the Aftershocks of a Buckeye Program would be mooring.
SMU
Mt. Union (OH)
Both the Mt. Union losses last year came from my hand. And, I feel like the best thing going would be deny Mt. Union Houston either in the Iowa Conference or in Alliance to really leave an upsetting loss.
Georgia Tech
Portland State
This would be a Very Landmark Game for Both Programs if they Won.
"THURSDAY NIGHT DEAD OR ALIVE"
Kansas State
Wisconsin Lutheran
This would be the Biggest College Football Game in Milwaukee Since 1973 if its true.
08172018
Morgan State
Maryland
I feel Maryland is in very much a disarray.
UTEP
Wisconsin
This would be the Ultimate as in being the Lone Win Otherwise (UTEP) vs. the Lone Negative Remark on an otherwise Clean Slate (Wisconsin)
4 Iowa State 1-0
  Texas A and M 1-0
Going 2 Straight against Texas A and M hasn't actually happened in Iowa State lore.
Marshall
15 Cal
Marshall actually getting to California for anything would be tremendous in their lore.
08182018
17 Northern Iowa
Duke
I couldn't resist Northern Iowa beating Duke like its Iowa (their actual FBS Opponent) en route to the National Title
1st Slated "State Pride" This Decade
Nebraska 0-1
Oklahoma 0-1

Colorado
Illinois State
It would be a rare Colorado Buffaloes trek to Central Illinois.

Texas 0-1
Arkansas 1-0
Razorback Stadium Texarkana,AR
It wouldn't just be Hogs and Horns. It'd be Hogs and Horns in Texarkana, too, this year and next year.

Prairie View A and M
Colorado State

West Virginia
Washington

Stanford 0-0
Fresno State 0-1

Conference Championship Week of November 11th College Football Poll Card

This is part 2 of my blog, and true to my word, I will stick to this every week until the Conference Championship Week of December 16th, I will bring you my mocked up card, which generally grew out of the fact the Smaller Leagues would normally, in real gritty, earthy, earthly reality, would have to carve a week out their traditional Regular Season Slate.

And, every Thursday save for Thanksgiving, I will bring you Conference Auto Bids (Postseason Tournament) Champions and At Larges (Conf. Tournament Runner Ups) for the Field of 128. And, If we had the #1 Team Upset at the Top, that would be 151st out of 777. But if we had the worst Postseason Team get upset, it'd be 300th of 777.

And without further ado, here is the PSAC "Battle for University Park", which would have surged, in real reality, towns to Beaver Stadium like a College State Tournament instead of the overdone "Whiteout"/"Zombie Nation" flip scene that started at the top of Central PA.

Western Division Championship
"The 1st Postseason Game of the 2017 Season"
      Slippery Rock  7-2 8-2
   4 Indiana (PA)     9-0 10-0
I take pride in the 1st as much as the last, like having UNLV-UW Whitewater or Tennessee-Columbia (NYC) would have physically jumped off the page and into Las Vegas and New York City
Eastern Division Championship
West Chester 7-2 8-2
Shippensburg 8-1 9-1

Even though we already have a PSAC Championship between Shippensburg and Indiana (PA) Next Week, but, I feel the principle is having THE Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference cross paths at the University of Pennsylvania State, which is the more formal name for Penn State, the flagship of the Northeast.

CIAA Championship
Rogers Stadium Petersburg,VA
Southern Division Championship
St. Augustine's 5-3 5-5
Fayetteville State 6-3 6-4
My detail piece is to save (or try to save) the home team for last to retain the same energy from beginning, middle, and end.
Northern Division Championship
  Bowie State 8-1 9-1
15 Virginia State 8-0 9-0

Northeast 10 Championship
Worcester, MA Multi Sport Stadium
Even though we have a Northeast 10 Championship Game already carved into the Regular Season, but, I feel in this case it would double the intensity and emotion if we had a Conference Championship in Real Reality with the Conference Tournament Semifinals and Finals

3 Bentley  5-3 5-4
2 LIU Post 6-2 7-2
 
     4  New Haven 5-3 6-2
16 1 Assumption 8-0 9-0

SIAC Championship
Montgomery, AL Crampton Bowl
East Division Championship
Albany State 4-2 6-4
Fort Valley State 5-2 5-4
In a traditional Conference Championship Game, it always benefits the team that was defeated the 1st Time Around, but, if we had to actually have an actual division championship in College Football, it would be more likely to benefit the team that lost the initial meeting, too.
West Division Championship
Miles 6-2 6-4
Tuskegee 6-1 8-2
One of my personal peeves as a Sportsman and a Sports Fan who watches from TV and Live is I don't always hear how a Sports Crowd should roar, like Carver Hawkeye Arena should show up for Kentucky State as much as Kentucky.
Midwest Conference Championship
Memorial Stadium Champaign,IL
I feel even though the Midwest Conference is back in the Conference Championship Fold, but, I felt in my detail out of my hand, throwing in a Historic College Football Stadium to elevate the Conference Stakes like Memorial Stadium is the de facto home to the Illinois High School State Football Championships even though the program says otherwise.
North Division Championship
Chicago 3-2 5-4
St. Norbert 5-0 7-2
This would be a bigger and greater scene for the University of Chicago Community if this was unlocked as an actual gameday for it to return to Champaign-Urbana for the first time Since the Big Ten, and coincidentally, being a founding member of the Big Ten and it would have been extra credit for the nation's or one of the nation's largest Public School Districts to revest their hard earned money into Sports, especially Football when Winter Sports has found an overdue falloff in the Chicago Public Schools/Chicago Public League spectrum.
South Division Championship
Lake Forest 4-1 8-1
Monmouth 5-0 8-1
It would be an emotionometer on its own, too, but, when I take care of Tuesday Night Finals in a single roll like who is or isn't in office or better than that, money mishandled by varying Middle Eastern Nationals rolls back to Centerville or Fort Madison with the Minor Leagues, which a lot of people would love, and having to think the initial Halas Hall and the University of Chicago twist high stakes paths and not just for garbage time which would be an overuse, for Chicago, Chicagoland and Chicago Football Fans.
United Midwest Ath. Conference Championship
Pete FioRito Stadium at McKinzie Field
Eureka,IL
3 St. Scholastic 7-2 7-3 vs. 2 MacMurray 7-2 8-2

4 Northwestern (MN) 6-3 6-4 @ 1 Eureka 8-1 8-2

I would like to close with saying if we took time to actually map Conference Tournaments in College Football, hospitality and scholarships would be root, but, if we really wanted to win more than the day, I feel needing to focus on College Football last and first. Energy at the end of the day pays the bills, and I know 2008 still has everything to do with everything, but, certainly, I would howl at having a Preliminary Game just to get to the Wild Card Game and the better teams would have a double bye (or more) just to be an ATM. I feel the downside with franchising everything to gray matter is people are skeptical and sure, everything starts innocent, but, it's easier to keep good going great rather than running incessantly.

Tony's Notes:

My Poll this Season will be akin to the Top 25 with 25 Points for 1st and 1 Point for 25th.

My poll is an all College Football (NCAA and NAIA) Poll

I love upsets, but, I feel, too, en route to my first 6 Day Plan Poll on August 27th, I hope have more than 1 Potential Quality Matchup.

And, my next Poll will be August 13th

The Building of my College Football Poll from the Ground Up

Hi, everybody, I am stating my intent to build my College Football Poll from the ground (Independents) to NCAA Division IA up this year. And, I will add new for this season a Conference Tournament of the Best 4 Teams in each league and I do reserve the right to overrule or if the NCAA has an actual Postseason Ban at the table that is recognizable, I will go to the next in the order.

In the past, I've done College Football Polls and Playoffs with IA and then, in recent years, I've expanded to IAA to NAIA Ranks to have a True Undisputed College Football Champion from sea to shining sea.

To my fellow readers, this is extremely experimental and would need a lot of tweaks, namely ethical and regulatory to be real life. And, what I will state is Regular Season Conference Champion, Potential At Large Candidates and Postseason Conference Champion.

As the days get longer, I will get to state and detail each nuance and mannerism en route to July 18th, the day of this years College Football Poll and I will air my Commissioner's Classics. I feel the roll I will drive if it pertains to my poll will be Top 25 with Conference Leaders Exclusively, because Wins and Conference Games Matter.  And, this will be a Single Operator Poll and Playoff of 128 Teams and I will be as transparent as Grease on Wax Paper and I feel the general case, if push came to shove, is make the stat release a single roll no matter what because I couldn't just list everyone in season all the time with different starts and stops.
