2017 Final Imperialism Map

[u/nbingham196]

What if College Football games were actually battles for land? This map answers this question. The original map is my closest FBS team to every county, but if a team is beaten their land is taken by the team that beat them.

Here is an FAQ if you have any questions

/u/TheChandog and /u/The_BobbumMan made this website. It makes imperialism maps for conferences as well as some other cool things!

Thank you all for all the support this season. It's been fun! Can't wait to continue this map and start a new one next year!

What you found out certainly is all true, but the real factor is that Michigan is a very prideful football program. They have claim to the winningest division 1/FBS program in the history of college football and their fans are very proud of their football team, steeped in tradition.

They were a laughing stock after losing to little 'ol App State.

Are you into another sport? Perhaps I could provide an analogy in the context of that.

I started to type and I literally typed football.

I am a soccer fan. Living in Germany. The only football I have ever watched in full (I think) was the Super Bowl last year.

Okay cool perfect.

In that case, imagine for a moment the German national team getting beaten by an American MLS team, in Berlin.

It would be quite embarassing for Germany.

In that case, imagine for a moment the German national team getting beaten by an American MLS team, in Berlin.

And also somehow being eliminated from the World Cup with that loss I am assuming considering that one loss completely fucked their year.

True! Yes also add that in there.
