They may have beat a team who beat a team who beat a team from Michigan who owned that land when the season started. It can get complicated. Quote Link to comment

But wouldn't Michigan own that land, I mean, they are undefeated after all? Quote Link to comment

I think that's Michigan State's territory for what it's worth. It looks like it includes Lansing and the other D1 schools are all in the south of the state (Eastern, Western, and Central Michigan). 1 Quote Link to comment

Michigan didn't start with much ground. Most of what KSU has started out as Central Michigan territory. Then Eastern, Western and State have some. You can see the weekly maps here. 1 Quote Link to comment

The map is broken down by county, and at the beginning of the season every school owns land - all the counties closes to their school. We own some Iowa, Missouri and South Dakota land to start the season, if I recall correctly. Michigan owns the counties closer to Ann Arbor than any other school, but Michigan State owns the counties closer to East Lansing and the directional Michigan schools also own some land in that state. EDIT - Hah! Beaten to the explanation THREE times! Quote Link to comment

There are a lot of D1 schools in Michigan so the state is split to start out with. Even Michigan state lost their territory prior to losing to Michigan, so in state they just have their initial partition. EDIT: man, I was way too slow. 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Actually I'm wrong. The northern territory was Central Michigan's. Quote Link to comment

Fun fact: If you do the 2016 to current map, they don't actually tract FCS level and below. So the NDSU taking Iowa's territory isn't changed until they lost to Arizona this year (2022). In that time NDSU lost to FCS opponents and it should actually go like this: {Date}: Owner (losses to) -> Opponent (new owner) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 15, 2016: North Dakota St -> South Dakota State Oct 29, 2016: South Dakota St -> Illinois State Nov 26, 2016: Illinois St -> Central Arkansas Dec 3, 2016: Central Arkansas -> Eastern Washington Dec 17, 2016: Eastern Washington -> Youngstown State (Bo Pelini's Team) Jan 7, 2017: Youngstown State -> James Madison (FCS Champions) Jan 6, 2018: James Madison -> North Dakota St (FCS Champions) Feb 27, 2021: North Dakota St (Undefeated in 2018 and 2019) -> Southern Illinois Mar 20, 2021: Southern Illinois -> South Dakota State May 16, 2021: South Dakota State -> Sam Houston State (FCS Champions) Dec 11, 2021: Sam Houston State -> Montana State Jan 8, 2022: Montana State -> North Dakota State Sep 17, 2022: North Dakota St -> Arizona (Who the map says gets it!) All that to say the map shows the correct owner now, but is actually wrong in the intermediary. 1 Quote Link to comment
