Kind of a fun way to look at things. IU now claims land in S. Florida, SoCal, So Illinois & So Indiana.

Lol. ND lost their land to Northern Illinois so they went and stole Purdues.
This is funny, but you should only get the land if you win on the road.

I didn't see Hawaii down there. We own all the islands, which somehow includes the Aleutians.
This is an awesome graphic...please bump it every Monday. I'd follow the account on X, but I don't do X...
It was killing me trying to figure how the geographical mechanics...so I went and created a burner account. Per the thread:
"The geographic distance of the Aleutians West Census Area is closer to the University of Hawaii than Washington."
Farther down, when someone asked why so much of NE wasn't Husker territory, they say:
"It's based on the distance of the center of each county to the nearest FBS stadium."
Now it makes more sense!
Maryland has some territory we could take...
IU has some nice tropical places … too bad the NU already lost that lakefront property in Evanston.
IU got HI as part of the Rose Bowl Victory Spoils.
LOL at Buffalo camped on South Bend.

It is a fun way to look at it. It is also an accurate way. It is just the 21st century and we have swapped land mass for money.
They didn't have any land when we beat them. They'd already lost it to NIU the week before. It's why Buffalo owned South Bend in week 4. NIU took it from ND, then Buffalo beat NIU.
Yeah, you have no land to gain unless you play and beat a team who has space on the map at the time you beat them. At this point, since we are in conference play, only the land that has B1G schools is even a possibility for us to obtain (in the reg season).
Based on this map, unless one of our other opponents steals a win vs Oregon, Michigan, Rutgers or Ohio State before we play them, the only opponents we play that we can gain land against is UM and OSU.
Oregon plays UM the week before us, however, Oregon plays Ohio State in 2 weeks so Oregon might not have any land when UM plays them. Ohio State also plays PSU so it realistically could be down to just OSU and UM with land anyways.
So we own LA, Miami, DC, Hawaii...and some Carolina Appalachia and Southen Indiana?
Not bad. 😄👍
Sounds like a VRBO strategy.
