CFB Imperialism: College Football as Risk
An interactive college-football map that assigns U.S. counties to teams and transfers them after each game.
Field notes
The project models college-football results as territorial transfers. Counties are initially assigned to the nearest stadium by straight-line distance, then move with each game’s winner; a team that loses all its land must defeat another landholder to return. The visible 2026 page records 53 battles and three raids, and its historical selector runs from 1870 through 2026. Upcoming fixtures display the square mileage at stake, making the schedule function as a geographic risk board.
