TCY Conference and Bowl Names

[Baron von Doom]

Greetings. I just d/led TCY and was trying to set it up with realistic names. I've pretty much figured out the real Conference names (I think). Is there anywhere on the net (although I haven't found it yet despite searching) that lists what the conference and especially the bowl games are in real life?

Baron von Doom - Very, very cool screen name.

Dola.

And conference names.

Fictitious Name - Real Name
Atlantic Ridge - Atlantic Coast (ACC)
Baker's Ten - Big Ten
Humongous Twelve - Big Twelve
Eastern Eight - Big East
West Coast Ten - Pacific Ten (Pac-10)
Confederate Dozen - Southeastern (SEC)
Rocky Mountain 8 - Mountain West
Ubiquitous Ten - Conference USA
Titanic West - Western Athletic (WAC)
Middle Thirteen - Mid-American
Southern Harvest - Sun Belt


Very cool name indeed...

[yabanci]

Here are the team names that need to be changed in TCY:

Durham ------------ Duke
Evanston ---------- Northwestern
Boston ------------- Boston College
South Bend ------- Notre Dame
Nashville ---------- Vanderbilt
Central Houston - Rice

[MizzouRah]

Doesn't anyone look at Skydog's hard work?



Todd

[yabanci]

yes. This is the thread that skydog has on there. I looked at it to install TCY on my laptop and noticed that it identified which bowls and conferences to change, but it didn't list which teams. So I just added teams to it for future reference.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Bowl names might need to be adusted as well, as my original post was based on 2002 season.

[Passacaglia]

One thing that should be noted, if this thread is going to be in the reference thread, is that not only are these based on the 2002 season, but also, they don't really match real-life bowl match-ups.
First, the four BCS Bowls in TCY are based on final ranking, while in real life they still have conference tie ins. Granted, the tie ins are complicated, so making that resemble reality would be difficult.
But going further down that list, the otherbowl matchups are off. For example, the Capital One Bowl pits Big Ten #2 vs. SEC #2, not Pac Ten #2 vs. SEC #2. And the Gator Bowl pits ACC #2 vs. Big East #2, not ACC #2 vs. Mountain West #1.
Just a clarification for those who may use this as their bowl bible. Lots of good info there, but another resource you may want to look up is the actual bowl matchups.

Thought I'd bump this. People will need it today with 1.3 being released.

FWIW, it seems that the only team that needs to be changed in 1.3 is South Bend to Notre Dame. All the rest are already in there.

Edit: Hmm...I'm thinking 1.3 doesn't change your names file. It doesn't seem to change your bowl names file. Please disregard my above statement.

[Balldog]

Also Troy State is now Troy.

[Ben E Lou]

Yup. Turns out this was an unnecessary bump. My bad.

You should link this to the reference thread.

Don't know if you're kidding or not, but it is already linked from there. I bumped it just trying to be helpful, because if the update HAD changed the conference/team/bowl names, you *know* someone would have asked without checking first. Just helping keep my blood pressure down.

But they still use www.troystate.com as their official web site

I've just re-installed TCY cleanly and had to change South Bend to Notre Dame and that's it.

(well, of course I changed California-Los Angeles to UCLA and Nevada-Las Vegas to UNLV for asthetics, but that's about it).
