Given the teams left, I'd think he would take Notre Dame or Michigan.

Where can I find who has been picked? I didn't think this thing got started until 8:30.

Look in the OP for draft results.

It started at 8:30 EST.

Here's my attempt at a new simplified mock draft:

6 GMs

12 round snake draft with order determined by lottery

First 4 picks must be in contiguous states (building a footprint)

Picks and schools already selected may be traded

Proposed trades should be PMed to the commissioner who will determine if the trade is equitable and will occur after the 12 rounds are completed

I will serve as commissioner and not GM a team to preserve objectivity

All 130 FBS teams are eligible for selection

After 12 rounds are complete, any GM with less than 12 teams will participate in supplemental rounds until all leagues have 12 teams

After the draft, each GM shall submit their division alignment and identify any protected crossovers, should they choose to utilize them. Also include a paragraph talking up the strengths of your new league.

I will declare a winner and runner up based on the following criteria:

overall strength, quality rivalries, originality, geographic and cultural cohesiveness

I will also post a fan vote thread where folks can vote for their favorite and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each conference.


Comment if you want to GM a team. First 6 get in.

For the last pick of the first round I'll take Georgia. For the first pick of the second round I'll take Florida State.

JRJ selects Oregon

OK Cyniclone, it's on you.

Hello Notre Dame.

With no one to stop you in the North, I expect you to win this thing with ND, OSU, Mich and PSU.

Temple football fan put himself an auto draft for the next few picks:

He takes Texas A&M

TexA&M

I take LSU with my 11th pick.

With the contiguous-states rule for the first four picks, staking out a prime piece of real estate is pivotal. It's Risk.

The Midwest is wide open now. Had a drafted for JR I would have taken Mich & ND and then with the 3rd pick either Wisc or Mich St

OK, CLT. You're up for 2 picks.

I like the pick--make sure you pick 1 of the 3 MS schools in the next 2 rounds to stick with the bordering states rules

I gotcha. Will do. Or I'll pick Tennessee and Arkansas.

CLT also opted for auto draft for a bit.

Duke and S Carolina are his next 2

I take Tennessee with the 2nd pick in the 3rd round.

OK Cyniclone, you're up.

I select Michigan.
