What-If Season Simulation (1983)
« on: October 06, 2023, 03:57:15 PM »
I've always done the What-If Bowl lineups, as to how the bowls would likely slot based on prior bowl lineups.

Now that any semblance of college football as we all learned to love it was gone, I figured each season I would simulate a season alongside the actual season, using SP+.

So it will be the teams' present abilities, but using the prior year schedule, conference affiliations, and bowl lineups.

I'll roll a dice and based on that jump back 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years.

This year came up 4, so it's how this season were go as if it were 1983

That UGA team had a new QB who couldn't pass very well, which I've learned can be an issue.  He did pull one out of his nether regions in the bowl game.  Maybe that was 1984.  They still had #34 in 1983 I think, and lost to PSU in the SB.

Walker was gone after the 82 season.  Played Penn St in the Sugar that season.
