Hell, maybe I should post on the buying website that it merely takes a $40 "donation" to receive the game.....that'll work, right? 


I honestly don't see how anyone could secure licensing with what the application asks/requires.  To solidify a distributor who would be willing to sell your product, it would hinge on the licensing....it sort of seems like it's putting the cart before the horse.  If it was just putting money up front (app fee starts at $1000), that'd be fine, but it's much more than that.  I don't see the feasibility in it.

Yeah, the ongoing process makes it nearly impossible for even decently sized small businesses.

I just researched a bunch of pass/run ratios, mostly for the national champions going back to 1971 for my game.
Some findings to share:

the only 50/50 NC was 1993 FSU
no one else was even 49/51 nor 51/49, so they were unique

----------------------------

1975 OU was the run-heaviest at 91%
1984 BYU was the pass-happiest at 55%
Aside from BYU, no one exceeded 52%, though several peaked at it:  1989 Miami, 1991 Miami, 1999 FSU, 2000 OU, 2016 Clemson
This 52/48 ratio was the most popular individual ratio of the NCs researched.
-----------------------------

Some surprises (to me):
2004 USC, 2013 FSU and 2018 Clemson "only" threw it 47% of the time
1994 PSU only passed it 40%, which seems low to me

---------------------

1997 Nebraska ran it far more than anyone else recently, at 81%, and all the way back to 1985 OU, which ran it 87%
And since 1997, the highest run percentage for a NC is shared by 2002 OSU and 2010 Auburn (69%)

-------------------------------

Some couplings (same ratios):
1983 Miami & 2006 Florida (46 pass/54 run)
1981 Clemson & 1994 Nebraska (23/77)
1980 Georgia & 1988 ND (22/78)
1982 Penn St & 1991 Washington (39/61)
1972 USC & 1986 Penn St (30/70)
1977 ND & 1992 Alabama (32/68)

-----------------------------


And for those who love round numbers:
20/80 - 1978 Alabama & 1974 USC
30/70 - 1972 USC & 1986 PSU
40/60 - 2003 LSU
50/50 - 1993 FSU

------------------------------

A popular ratio:  37 pass/63 run
shared by 1997 Michigan, 2009 Alabama, 2012 Alabama, and 2014 Ohio St

an 8-team playoff will take it to Feb.

Not a stat, but literally a random revelation.  The national championship is on January 13?  Why?  Last year the semis were on Saturday, December 29, championship Monday, January 7.  This year, Saturday, December 28, but the national title game is pushed back a full week to the 13th?

I'm sorry, it's tough enough to gear back up for a January 6 game, by January 13, I truly won't care about college football anymore.

EDIT: Ugh, not a total break, back to playing garbage bowls between NYD and the championship for some reason.  Birmingham and Gator on January 2, Potato on January 3, Armed Forces on January 4, Mobile on January 6.  God the bowl schedule is a disaster this year

Whoever is responsible for scheduling the CFP and NY6 bowl games has head up his 4th point of contact.  This will be the 6th year of the CFP, and it's still a botch.
