How College Football Territory Conquest Works
- Every team starts with the land closest to its stadium.
- Win a game and you take all of the loser's territory.
- Territory carries over all season, with no resets until next year.
- Bowl games and playoffs follow the same winner-takes-all rules
- Neutral site games follow standard territory rules
- Click any territory to trace every team that held it.
