It's too bad to see the Pats lose. Things looked good when the Bronco's lost.

Yes and no on the conferences. I had some limitations with TDCB in that it is set for a modern day format. I tried to make the conferences as close as possible to what I knew about the era but there are some obvious errors. For example I know North Carolina and North Carolina State were in the Southern Conference rather than the ACC in the 1940's. In fact the ACC was not created until those schools pulled out of the Southern Conference around 1953 or 54. I believe there were also a lot more independant teams back then so I tried to bunch them into conferences to what seemed to make sense. With TDCB you must have 31 conferences but they can range from 8 to 16 teams. To try and keep my number of teams down I tried to make as many 8 team conferences as possible but still keep basically the proper layout. I also did not want to get into editing conferences as seasons progress so I created the ACC and others before they really existed.
I also had a second problem. I can find a ton of college football history on the internet but very little basketball aside from conference winners and tournament results. So in some cases I had to guess based upon football where a school belong in basketball.
As for the NFL, glad you are following it. It was quite a surprise to see both the Broncos and Pats get beat. However, my thought is it does not matter. Chicago is just too strong for any opponent and should win the Super Bowl. Although the Bears lost to Baltimore last year with essentially the same team.
