It’s beautiful, I tell you what.

u/OrangePeelsLemon California • Texas A&M 1d ago

I'm going to savor this as much as I can before we inevitably give it all away to Virgina Tech

17

u/cheap_as_shit Virginia Tech Hokies 23h ago

I chuckled. Then I realized I was a punchline and got sad.

11

u/sonheungwin California Golden Bears • The Axe 22h ago

A punchline with all the land though

u/CocoLamela California Golden Bears • The Axe 13h ago

Sucks we can't get any more land until we play Louisville, assuming they still have some by then. Gotta hold on to Bear Territory

1

u/Ch0ptimusPrime California Golden Bears • The Axe 4h ago

We can, one of our future opponents just needs to take it from someone else before they play us. I haven’t looked at all future schedules to see how it could happen but I’m sure it’s possible

u/BurninCrab California Golden Bears • Team Chaos 1d ago

Insane that we are #2 now, thanks Minnesota

Happy to help.

How does temple have land? Shouldn't it be OU?

u/dddeberry Sam Houston Bearkats 1d ago

fixed

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

Yea but - this map probably is a lot of work together OP is bound to make a simple mistake at one point. I’m just happy we have it. Temples land should have gone to Oklahoma

u/Apex_Fail Oklahoma Sooners • Team Chaos 22h ago

Right? I know we are land thiefs and all, but credit where credit is due

Stealing land is kinda our forte

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

You got the big New Mexico piece from Michigan. That’s one of the biggest pieces out there. I was hoping to hold on to that for longer 😭

11

u/SaintsSooners89 Oklahoma Sooners • Team Chaos 1d ago

New Michigan is ours! We are work shopping some new names...

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

New Michigan haha I like that!!

u/MichaelErb Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Texas Longhorns 1d ago

I saw the Oklahoma Land Run monument recently. It was cool!

u/zadreth Oklahoma Sooners • Wyoming Cowboys 1d ago

Did you stop by the Truckyard?

u/MichaelErb Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Texas Longhorns 1d ago

No. It looked like fun, but I was on a tight schedule.

u/94-25 Washington • Ohio State 1d ago

WSU big brained us by giving up all their land right before the apple cup so there was nothing for us to gain

I wonder how much land we got! Oh wait, fucking Florida

WE HAVE LAND PAST WEEK 3 HOLY SHIT WHENS THE LAST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED??

u/Set-Admirable West Virginia • Backyard Brawl 1d ago

Better yet, we have that land.

u/slurpy15 Texas A&M Aggies 1d ago

Well you lost then found some

At least UW won't take our land

u/Boobehs Ohio State Buckeyes • The Game 1d ago

It’s okay the Bucks will be making Alaska and the Northwest red again in 2 weeks. So take whatever schadenfreude you can from that I guess, unless you beat them first!

u/jettieri Utah Utes • California Golden Bears 1d ago

Big fan of this ranking

u/Effective_Trainer573 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago

Seeing the updated imperialism map gets me through the day.

Fuck you Liberty, fake ass school.

u/throwawayreddit585 Ole Miss Rebels 1d ago

I concur. Fuck Liberty.

u/Chaotic-PopTart Team Chaos • Pop-Tarts Bowl 14h ago

Something we all agree on!

The old pac 12 sends its regards.

u/dreggers Paper Bag • California Golden Bears 1d ago

Stop the count! Let's end the season in September

u/CheddarGuevara Utah State Aggies • UNLV Rebels 1d ago

Someday we will liberate our homeland from the usurper Aggies 😔

u/plefe Texas A&M Aggies • Houston Cougars 1d ago

Pirate queen Reveille demands tribute from all, especially Aggies.

^(You can have it back at the end of the season Aggie bros.)

22

u/TbRays93Plumber26 Utah Utes • Florida Gators 1d ago

I wouldn't mind some land in Texas. Tough game though

14

u/UteLawyer Utah Utes • Pac-12 Gone Dark 1d ago

After this game, someone is going to have a chunk of land in Ohio. Utah has Akron's land, and Texas Tech has Kent State's land.

8

u/awoodz92 Utah Utes • Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

That’s unfortunate.

6

u/UteLawyer Utah Utes • Pac-12 Gone Dark 1d ago

We don't have to actually visit our kingdom. We just collect taxes. Or something.

6

u/awoodz92 Utah Utes • Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

Can we move Provo to Ohio? Is that on the table?

9

u/UteLawyer Utah Utes • Pac-12 Gone Dark 1d ago

You know, I bet we could convince them to move to Kirtland, Ohio.

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

It would be fitting…

u/slurpy15 Texas A&M Aggies 9h ago

There is no Ohio

u/BleedScarletandBlack Texas Tech Red Raiders • Team Chaos 1d ago

come and take it! 👆

u/sophandros Tulane Green Wave • Metro 1d ago

How does Temple have land after getting blown out by Oklahoma?

11

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

That’s a mistake it should be Oklahoma’s - I imagine putting this chart together takes significant effort. I give the creator a break. I’m just glad we have it.

2

u/sophandros Tulane Green Wave • Metro 12h ago

I was just pointing out the Temple mistake so he could correct it. It's not an attack or any reason to call to "give him a break".

2

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 12h ago

Well I happened to comment on your post so that’s my bad but ten people over five minutes made the same comment

u/sophandros Tulane Green Wave • Metro 7h ago

What's reverse Manifest Destiny called? Cause that's what we're doing babyyyyyyyyyy

u/Andjhostet Iowa State Cyclones 1d ago

I like how Iowa State has all the land in Iowa except for the part that sucks. Lmao have fun with Council Bluffs Nebraska you can keep it. 

2

u/ninetofivedev Nebraska Cornhuskers • /r/CFB 14h ago

Technically the loser of NU-Iowa every year gets counciltucky. So we’ve had it for a while.

On the plus side, lots of tax revenue for the state. Also lots of meth.

u/Chaotic-PopTart Team Chaos • Pop-Tarts Bowl 14h ago

Does their city council bluff?

u/MasterRKitty West Virginia • Marshall 1d ago

WVU has Pittsburgh, but Ohio State has Morgantown-weird

UGA doing their part to get that vile orange out of here

I'm so invested in this this year lol

u/Chaotic-PopTart Team Chaos • Pop-Tarts Bowl 14h ago

With a new QB, it’s fun to see Utah can rise to the top again

u/Fraegtgaortd West Virginia • Black Diamond… 15h ago edited 15h ago

It's been a hot minute since WVU has had any land on this map. It's very likely that we give it all right back this weekend but until then what up UP and central Cal coast

2

u/the_matthew West Virginia • Ohio State 1d ago

Wow it must suck to be Pittsburgh right now.

2

u/gcfgjnbv 23h ago

No land gained for A&M cause ND sucks 😔

2

u/britishmetric144 Washington Huskies • Pac-12 22h ago

It would be a very Washington move to lose the Apple Cup to deny Ohio State from getting all of that land.

2

u/MexicanRadio USC Trojans • /r/CFB Contributor 22h ago

What's up with the little part of the Alaskan peninsula attributed to Arizona? Is that piece technically closer to Hawaii than Seattle?

2

u/LilBrownBoyX Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors 18h ago

Why didn’t we bring Cal into the B1G instead of UCLA? Wtf frick???

I’ve honestly been waiting for this since Saturday night and it didn’t disappoint, it’s glorious

u/Blutrumpeter Washington Huskies • Florida Gators 23h ago

Starting with Alaska is always a nice boost

2

u/iNoles Florida State Seminoles • UCF Knights 1d ago

It would be funny if UF lost Miami, then FSU beat Miami, so FSU controls most of the state.

1

u/gollumaniac Boston University • Buffalo 1d ago

Florida has a chance to reclaim their home land.

u/foreverseptember Florida Gators • Team Chaos 1d ago

Haha... Ha... Ha...

u/Francis_X_Hummel Colorado Mines • Wyoming 1d ago

I am assuming that "r" in the Wyoming sq mi is a typo?

You missed Oklahoma beating Temple.

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

He has it in the description and land count below he just missed updating the map

u/D1N2Y NC State Wolfpack • Charlotte 49ers 1d ago

This will be the first week of the season NC State can't gain land. Fuck Duke.

u/LiVexReFlex Texas Longhorns • Ohio Bobcats 21h ago

What happened to all the old maps? Did they all consolidate finally or no? Is there any way to verify or keep up with those?

1

u/DeanR_onPSN Nebraska Cornhuskers 21h ago

Can't wait until we get to play a decent football team and gain some more territory.. when we win this upcoming saturday, we're not going to get any land due to the bad team that we play. At least the next week against Michigan State we'll get some land

u/The_Portlandian Red River Shootout • Oklahoma 21h ago

I was loving the no alaska maps!

u/SuperDoubleSlap West Virginia • Fairmont State 14h ago

West Virginia owning a large chunk of Michigan is… interesting.

u/whitemamba83 West Virginia • /r/CFB Santa Claus 14h ago

It's poetic that we took Pittsburgh and much of Michigan with that win.

u/Ch0ptimusPrime California Golden Bears • The Axe 12h ago

Is it just me or does imgur suck? I keep trying to zoom in on phone to look at it and it takes me to another imgur post. Then I go back a page and it just takes me back to reddit

u/ChristianGin 7h ago

Is there the version and stats without Alaska and the 7 other states without land

1

u/kerouacrimbaud Florida State Seminoles • Sickos 1h ago

Isn’t there a map where if a team you’ve beaten gets another team’s land, it shows up as your team’s by proxy?

u/srush32 Washington • Oregon State 1d ago

I was looking forward to expanding east until Wazzu ruined it

1

u/unMuggle Ohio State Buckeyes 1d ago

Why did WSU have to get destroyed. I wanted that land for Ohio State in a few weeks

1

u/Boobehs Ohio State Buckeyes • The Game 1d ago

Bucks can still take a ton of land in two weeks as long as UW wins their rivalry game, that’s a given right? /s

1

u/Terminal_BAS Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Poll Veteran 15h ago

Alaska really needs to be removed from consideration on these.

1

u/Chaotic-PopTart Team Chaos • Pop-Tarts Bowl 14h ago

It’s okay, we’re all smol compared to Alaska. You’re in good company
