The concept involves a visual representation of college football team territories across a map, where control is gained by defeating the team currently holding that area. The map starts with initial territories assigned to each team, and as the season progresses, victories result in the winning team acquiring the defeated team’s land. The term “editable” signifies the capability to modify and update this map as game outcomes occur, reflecting the evolving landscape of territorial control throughout the season.
This visual aid serves as an engaging way to follow the college football season beyond simply tracking wins and losses. It provides a different perspective on team performance, emphasizing the ripple effect of each game. Tracking territorial expansion offers a unique historical context to the season as a whole, allowing fans to visualize the shifting power dynamics and celebrate their team’s dominance in a novel way. Further, it fosters community and friendly competition among fans, who often share and discuss the map’s progress.
