College Football Empires Map 2018, updated after week 2

Welcome to the third week of the 2018 College Football Empires Map.

To start the season, each FBS team had control of its surrounding territory. Each game that involves one or two teams with one territory leads to the winner. The results continue from week to week, so the teams are still trying to recover or expand their lands. For more detailed rules, see the explanations for the first week.

Here is the updated map, with notes to follow.

The most important land swaps of the week 2

• The largest: the state of Arizona to conquer the state of Michigan to take back both and The territories of the state of Utah. MSU had beaten the USU during week 1, so the Sun Devils now control much of the West in addition to one foot in Michigan and part of Texas that 39, they took during week 1.
• Colorado conquered much of the land with its victory over Nebraska, despite the fact that Nebraska's new general, Scott Frost, was announced.
• Ohio State took two relatively small territories per area, but beating Rutgers meant taking control of New York City and taking the lead in the controlled population.
• They are also tied in the territories belonging to Arizona State, California, Stanford and Duke, which each have four territories.

Some teams kept their contiguous empires

• Stanford consolidated much of Southern California's lands with its victory over USC, combining the former lands of USC, UNLV and San Diego State.
• Georgia has conquered the other USC combines Georgia, South Carolina and Coastal Carolina.
• Penn State, Iowa and Notre Dame have conquered significant portions of their home states with their victories this weekend over Pitt, the state of Iowa and Ball State respectively.
• ULM has expanded to the east with a win over Southern Miss.

Some other changes of note

• Kentucky's victory over Florida not only broke a 31-year-old streak, but also claimed victory against Gainesville.
• Texas is back … on the map, after a win against Tulsa.
• The air force could not resist the FAU owl's aerial attack.
• The army was against his original instinct and fought against freedom, rather than freedom. The army took the lands of Liberty and Old Dominion.

Four FCS teams won or maintained territory in Week 2.

• North Carolina A & T, UC Davis and Villanova beat their attackers this week.
• Eastern East conquered northern Arizona and, in doing so, painted the original territory of UTEP in the same color as the EWU football field.

But Nicholls State, despite a heroic defeat of Kansas last week, was unable to fend off the Tulane attack, giving the Kansas native territory the green wave.

Here's how the whole season looks so far:

The third week will present many battles on important lands.

• College GameDay once again made the choice to attend a match in which both teams have a field in play with the game TCU-Ohio State. The game will be for possession of four of the 15 largest cities in the United States (New York, Dallas, Columbus and Fort Worth).
• Hawaii and the Army will attempt to expand their coastal areas by fighting for possession of the Virginia and Maryland coasts, as well as the state of Hawaii.

• Stanford will also seek to expand its coastline, while UC Davis hopes to take advantage of the anger and become the owner of most of California.

• The Fighting Irish and the Commodores will compete for possession of five territories scattered throughout the country.
• Georgia Southern will seek to defend his homeland against the destructive Tigers of Clemson.
• LSU vs. Auburn, potentially one of the most important games of the third week, will fight for the possession of Alaska and Puerto Rico (the starting territory of Miami, the Canes having no continent county that their campus could claim). their original territories.
• Washington State and eastern Washington are fighting over the border between New Mexico and Texas.

• And if you need a reason to watch college football Thursday night, the Wake Forest-Boston College match features two teams with lands to win (or lose).
• West Virginia, South Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma State-Boise State, Alabama-Ole Miss, Buffalo-EMU and Mississippi State-Louisiana also have teams in the match.

We are also updating a current version of the 2017 final map.

In the historical map, we had the largest land transfer to date, with Penn State taking 22 Pitt Territories, linking PSU for the first with Ohio State in the territories. These two teams play week 5, so their game was worth 62 territories if both players remained undefeated until then. Duke's victory over Northwestern also reached several territories.

There are no historic card games with two teams on the ground this week, but that does not mean there will be no land swap. The games most likely to result in a land transfer are the Vanderbilt-Notre Dame game and the Boise State-Oklahoma State game. All other owners are favorites in their games.
