    Honus Wagner - 7th most hits all time but born in the same state as Stan the Man.

    edit - after looking at this for a bit, there are a few powerhouse states as far as hits totals that I didn't expect. Alabama for one.

    Had to look up Tris Speaker because I'd never heard of him before. Hard to believe a dude born in 1888 still has the most hits for a state like that, even if he did have 3500.

    These days the only people that play baseball on the gulf coast are named Cody and their bats have a salt life sticker.

    What if College Football games were actually battles for land? This map answers this question. The original map is my closest FBS team to every county, but if a team is beaten their land is taken by the team that beat them. Teams will keep their land until beaten by another team and then all land will be passed to the new winner. For example Oregon State lost to Colorado State in week 0. Colorado State then lost to Colorado in week 1. Therefore Colorado owns Colorado State's land and Oregon State's land. FCS were are not originally included, but can win their way on to the map like Howard, James Madison, Liberty, and Tennessee State did this week.

    Also, question for clarification, is it ALL the the land that a team has accumulated? Like if Texas Tech beats Arizona State next weekend do we get both groupings of Arizona State territory?

    And what happens after the fact? Say Michigan beats Minnesota, takes their land...and then next week Minnesota beats Purdue and takes theirs. Does Michigan get Purdue's? E.g, after Michigan beats Minnesota is Minnesota fighting under Michigan's flag?

    That would lead multiple claims on a territory and could be troublesome for the realm.

    My assumption is Purdue never has the chance to win their land back but instead has a new settlement elsewhere. If you lost a game back to back, your second opponent gains nothing.

    this was what I was thinking. If we lose to Ohio state next week, but beat everyone in the Big 12, does Ohio state keep accruing land in Big 12 territory through us winning? Does OU get those lands we just don't keep our initial plot?

    I think maybe OU gets the big 12 territory, but OSU gets Oklahoma.

    Then Oklahoma loses in their bowl game to Boise, and Boise gets the B12.

    Basically you get the land the team has amassed at the time you beat them? I think that would work
