How College Football Territory Conquest Works
At the start of each season, every team owns the territory closest to their stadium. Win a game, take ALL of your opponent's land. Lose, and everything you built disappears. Simple rules, brutal consequences.
Territory Rules
- Each team owns the land closest to their stadium
- Win = take ALL of the loser's territory
- Lose = lose everything
- Bowl games and playoffs follow the same winner-takes-all rules
- Neutral site games follow standard territory rules
- Territory accumulates all season - no resets until next year
