@jgvol you're up

Alabama

Virginia Tech



For visual reference, here's a map of our selections so far.  jgvol is red, I'm blue, badge is green, OAM is yellow.  I'm not happy with the way the crosshatch for Indiana came out but I'm not spending more time on it.  It's supposed to represent overlap between jgvol and myself. 





@OrangeAfroMan is up

I appreciate the visual!

Looking out into the future here...

Does CO border AZ? Does UT border NM?

Figure we need a ruling on this before teams get there...

Oh, and also... @jgvol is thoroughly screwed from here already.

How so?

How so?

You're at least two hops away from anyone you'd actually want to draft if you want a true "power" conference... Meaning access to blue bloods.

• MDT can take PSU before you can get to PA. In fact, MDT can take both PSU and Pitt before you get to PA, so unless you want to take Temple, you're pretty well blocked off from the Northeast. And because MDT has OSU, you'd have to take a crappy school like Cincinnati, Toledo, or Miami (OH), to even get there. 
• To get to Mizzouri, you have to take either Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, or Iowa State, Kentucky, or Louisville. None are anywhere near blue blood (Iowa probably the closest). But Badge is only one hop from Mizzou so he can block you before you get there. 
• To go South, you have to go through Kentucky, which means Kentucky or Louisville. Neither is very good. But then that only gets you to Tennessee, and UTK is already gone. Who do you want, Memphis? And then from there you can expect Auburn is gone, Arkansas is gone, UNC is gone, Clemson is gone, so the most desirable teams in the south would be snapped up before you can get through to those states. 
• Your best bet here I think is Iowa to then get to Nebraska. That gets you to Colorado if you want a West Coast expansion. But if OAM takes OU next [as I predict], then he's got the drop on you for at least the Buffaloes, and would be one step ahead to either Utah or AZ/AZST. And regardless of the ruling on whether AZ actually "borders" CA, he's going to consistently be one step ahead of you to California and therefore to OR/WA. 

I feel like the anchors of your conference at best are Notre Dame, Michigan, and Nebraska. Because you're geographically at a disadvantage from getting anyone other "historic" programs. 

Just my $0.02 anyway.
