Ladies, gentlemen and enbies, we have reached this dynasty's first national title game
In one corner we have
@GR8 2 B FL G8R's Florida Gators.
Corch G8R had a relatively light schedule in terms of user opponents, but he beat all of them.
He started with a 34-24 win against
@Brick's Washington Huskies, forcing Brick into 5 INTs in a game much closer than you'd think when the turnover net is 4. The Gators next faced a human in
@sayo's plucky SJSU Spartans. The first game was incredibly close before having an untimely disconnect and Sayo's Spartans were dejected and lost the rematch 55-0. In a huge game for the SEC standings, Florida beat
@bjc's Oklahoma State Cowboys 35-28 in a lively game that included 400+ yards for both offenses.
After a 12-0 regular season, the Gators met another 12-0 squad,
@bruin228's Colorado Buffaloes. The Gators emerged victorious in the SEC title game 35-21 thanks to 3 interceptions thrown by Shedeur Sanders. In the playoffs he beat
@Skeeter's Buckeyes 21-7 and
@Mame YO's Ducks were sent home after a 48-14 defeat.
In the other corner, it's...me?
The Jayhawks, led by the dynamic duo of mobile QB Jalon Daniels and shifty RB Devin Neal, suffered a close defeat to BJ's Cowpokes 31-28 in week 1 and then rebounded, winning user matchups against Skeeter's OSU,
@Dr. Shats Basoon's Nebraska and
@GTfan27's Georgia Tech to earn a spot in the Big Ten title game. However, during a string of several CPU games we just agreed to sim, tragedy struck the Jayhawks program when star QB Jalon Daniels got injured. The Jayhawks entered their end-of-the-year OOC meeting with Bruin's Colorado unaware of the severity of the injury and massively struggled in a 52-0 defeat.
Things looked ominous for the Jayhawks and they attempted to make major tweaks to their offense knowing their remaining QBs were both in the 70s for overall. They won the Big Ten title game against Shats' Nebraska with just 131 passing yards and earned themselves a rematch with Bruin's Colorado in the Rose Bowl. The Jayhawks' continued to win with their backup QBs, holding Colorado to just 6 points as the Buffaloes threw five interceptions. Daniels then recovered just in time for the semifinal in Miami, leading the Jayhawks to avenge their week 1 loss with a 43-42 thriller over Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks converted a 4th-and-13 from the 14 and used the humble 5-wide QB blast to get the 2-point conversion for the win.
We'll work out the time for this monumental clash soon but that's everything you need to know ahead of the first Nutopia national title game on this year's version of the game!
