CFB Imperialism
One nation, conquered county by county. 2026 season — check your bias.
The rules, in one breath
Every county starts with its closest FBS program. Win a game and you take everything the loser holds; lose it all and you're off the map until you beat a landholder. FCS upsets annex like anyone else. Bowls and the playoff count. Every county is one dot, drawn to its size.
As of Oct 11, 2026.
2 schools unmapped this season (missing location or brand color) · 89 counties outside the projection.
4 holders shown in neutral gray (no brand color on file).
The empire as it stands
No new conquests beyond week 6 — every completed game is on the map.
