Look at this beautiful bastard.

Because you beat a team that beat a team in Kansas and because Arkansas didn't have any land to lose

You lose, you lose your territory. If you beat someone with territory, you get theirs. Vandy beat undefeated Kansas State and took their territory. Alabama stomped Vandy and took that swath of Kansas from Vandy.

Pretty sure Vanderbilt had Kansas territory because they beat Kansas State. When Alabama beat Vanderbilt the next week they took that territory from them. Alabama couldn't take any territory from Arkansas because they didn't have any.

Cal leading the way with 11 territories (even though they are only 4-3).

SEC teams:

Georgia - 8
LSU - 7
Alabama - 6
I think that is it!

Huge imperialism map game this week:

Miami versus Syracuse. One of these teams is going to have 18 territories next week!

If LSU can beat Ole Miss this week, then Alabama/LSU winner will jump up to 13 territories (LSU will have 7 and Alabama will have 6).

UCF's land is really impressive.

If UF didn;t choke away all its land, might have finally gotten some.

We've only had 2 chances all year to gain land and have gone 0-2 vs UCLA & BAMA.

I think LSU is the only school left on the schedule with land, but you know that'll be long gone by the end on Nov.

I guess a bowl game just may be our only hope.

Shouldn't Miami have some land in south Florida?

It must share a county with FIU and FIU is more centralized? IDK.

Correct. Miami and FIU are in the same county and your territory is assigned by counties closest to you. They had to pick Miami or FIU to get Miami-Dade county and I'm assuming they went with FIU because it is geographically closer to most of the county or something. I think it is the only school that has no home territory.
