Welcome to Week 11 of the 2018 College Football Empires Map. Here are the rules:

To begin the season, each FBS team was given control of its surrounding territory. Each game that involves one or two teams with territory results in the winner claiming all of it. Results carry on week to week, so teams are always in the process of trying to regain or expand land. For more detailed rules, check out Week 1’s explanation.

Here’s the updated 2018 map after Week 11, with notes to follow.

Alabama posted their second shutout in a row and annihilated Mississippi State, taking control of Starkville, Manhattan (Kansas), Lexington, Gainesville, Louisiana Lafayette, and Central Michigan.

Iowa State fought Baylor and added Colorado State, Oklahoma, and several territories in Maryland to its empire.

Ohio State defeated Michigan State and retook its homeland, as well as all of the land lost in the Purdue game.

In a battle of independent teams, BYU defeated UMass, taking charge of UAB from the Minutemen.

Stony Brook defeated Delaware, capturing Temple’s home territory, which has been passed around the FCS.

Next week!

Iowa State and Texas will fight to keep their Big 12 title hopes alive and, more importantly, will also be playing for all of the land that the Big 12 owns.

Notre Dame will look to keep its undefeated season alive, along with all the land gathered in a somewhat surprising top-15 matchup against Syracuse.

UCF will take on its first top-25 opponent of the season, Cincinnati, which will hope to show College GameDay and the nation it’s deserving of a New Year’s Six position.

UAB, an army that only relaunched itself two years ago, will take on Texas A&M to protect its land and look to gain its first-ever AP Top 25 ranking.

Army will take on its second consecutive FCS team this week, but this one will likely prove more of a challenge. Colgate enters 9-0 with a scoring differential of 223-26.
