Crazy shit. Sorry joker, I can't text you anymore unless I want to pay $.20 a text (which I really don't).
As for the timeouts and running up the score and what not, the going for it on 4th I don't really see a problem with. It probably would've pissed me off too, but I understand the logic and don't really think it's that big of a deal. The calling timeouts to run the 2-minute offense, that's a little more shady. I understand your point Joker but you can work on that in practice mode or even playing some random dude online or something. Doing that at the expense of someone in the OD when it's not needed is unnecessary.
And as far as a split NC is concerned, I seriously doubt the game would do that, but even if it is possible, points would have nothing to do with it. SOS, point spread, etc. none of that stuff goes into the calculations. There are no computer calculations done. The BCS rankings are determined solely by the average of the two polls. The polls are determined based on a pre-determined preseason rank which is adjusted from last years finish in the rankings and the average level on talent on the team. During the season teams are adjusted in the rankings due primarily due to their win loss record, but a win against a ranked team gives a one-time boost to that teams ranking. I don't know if any of that made any sense but basically, you may have a chance of a split NC, but it won't have anything to do with your margin of victory in your bowl game. It will just be dependent upon whether or not one of the polls ranks you ahead of the NC winner which is unlikely since no actual team evaluation is included in the ranking process (As should be evident due to you being left out of the NC in favor of USC).
Splff, while I get your frustration, pausing the game and refusing to call a play is unnecessary as well. Joker obviously had you beat so you might as well have just ended the game and then came on here to tell everyone about it and what you felt he did wrong.
Come on guys, we're better than this. We're almost into the offseason where everyone can make improvements to their teams and then we're off to next year; which we can already officially dub "The Year of the Irish!"

haha. But seriously, don't go into it thinking you're gonna lose. Have some confidence, and play your game and you'll have a shot to win it no doubt.
I like the touch by the way. My new franchise QB is going to be Dan Marino.
