Can’t wait to put Kennesaw State In the SEC and turn them into a powerhouse. Of course won’t be easy think it’ll be a satisfying challenge in the end.

[@cswee123]

In 14 it just took some decent skill on the sticks and you could bring most teams to a championship within a few years. I hope it’s an actual grid this time

[@skullcruncher7218]

I’m pretty confident it’ll be a grind. Because not only you need to work on getting players but unlike past NCAA games the transfer portal is a thing.

[@cswee123]

I am curious how closely to the real world it will play out. Cause nowadays if a guy shows some promise (thinking like 82-85 overall) they are gone to a big school

[@skullcruncher7218]

@@cswee123 Between the bigger schools having better chances to hit a lot of players motivations and having a advantage with more hours to recruit compare to a smaller school. I would believe that unless a 80 to 85 overall players have a high motivation to be in their home state. It’ll be tough getting those guys in the first couple seasons of your dynasty unless you find a hidden gem. Of course this is me just assuming from all the information we have when it comes to dynasty so far.

[@cswee123]

They did mention in the dynasty deep dive that gems will be a big portion of how smaller schools get great talent. Most big name schools won't be recruiting 3 stars at volume so they will be open for the taking

[@33TimberWolf]

I'm going WMU. Taking a MAC school that is isolated between Chicago / Detroit. There are decent talent pools, but you usually get leftovers from the Big Ten. It's a solid conference that is often overlooked, but still sends plenty of talent to the next level.

[@cswee123]

WMU was in the T25 just didn't want to make the video too long

[@jmbama2008]

Vanderbilt is going to be a tough rebuild in that conference

[@rh1763]

But Vanderbilt has sucked for so so so long we have all done a rebuild on one of the games before

[@cswee123]

Agreed but they didn't make it for one reason or another mostly recruiting since they weren't bottom 25 any of the last 3 years.

[@mattnash8884]

@@rh1763not me. Never done a power 5 school before. So vandy will be one of the first i chose

[@cswee123]

Vandy will be interesting with the new format of scheduling they may not win a regular season game for awhile.

[@MaadhatsOnTwitch]

Think UTEP is on the top of my list rn but Hawaii is tempting too

[@cswee123]

I have always liked UTEP, ran a few dynastys with them in NCAA14 the Sun Bowl is awesome

[@captaininsano5858]

I’m going with Syracuse. Recruiting in upstate NY is going to be a rough time.

[@cswee123]

I like the rebuild they have a good starting point with the QB from OSU. Could be a dark horse for the ACC irl

[@kendricklewis7733]

I’m going with Temple. Haven’t been good for a few years.

[@cswee123]

Temple isn't a bad choice I believe they missed this list mostly due to being alright at recruiting never had a bottom 25 class in the last 3

[@rodney6019]

Nice llist something to think about

[@cswee123]

Appreciate it man! Tried to give somewhat stat based list some names are probably missing but I felt good with it overall.

[@chuckgviolin3538]

My kid is headed to KSU this year so guess where I'll be starting...

[@cswee123]

Heck yeah, that should be very enjoyable

[@jonquis07]

Im likely doing Army as one of my schools

[@cswee123]

Let me know how that goes. After some conversations here I’d be interested if you can use the transfer portal

[@jonquis07]

@cswee123 i think Bordeaux said you can, but if I use them, I won't.

[@cswee123]

Wish they would allow you to toggle it off, would like it to be as realistic as possible. Understand it may not be enjoyable for some but we want realism on this channel!

[@Cityof7]

I’m in between with costal Carolina,Michigan state,and Texas state

[@cswee123]

Coastal Car. will be dope with the teal field, I have done a few with Texas state in 14 and its a good time. Michigan state to the natty would be cool too.

[@zaybarden8632]

Now my question is are yall going back to aligning the confrence like how they were or keeping it to 4 power conferences or bringing back the pac12 .

[@cswee123]

I was 100% going to bring back the Pac12 but I am not so sure now. Kinda want to see how it plays out otherwise. I will do it at some point maybe just not on the first run.

[@zaybarden8632]

@@cswee123 facts this game there so much u can do you’ll really never get bored bc there so much storyline it makes it feel like real life like the 12 team playoffs too the recruiting

Gonna be playing this until 26 comes out

I’m still between a couple teams Stanford , Iowa , Florida and auburn

[@cswee123]

Stanford would be nice, bring them back to the Andrew luck Christian McCaffery days.

@@cswee123 cuz they haven’t been good since

[@zaybarden8632]

@@cswee123 are you keeping the conference how they are now or are u realigning them back to the old days .

[@cswee123]

I want to go back but I think first run I will keep it regular to see how it plays out

[@grant2989]

Should I do a G5 school like North Texas or a bad P4 school like Stanford? One makes recruiting more difficult and the other makes schedule more difficult… not sure what is better/more fun.

[@cswee123]

Kinda hard to really choose now, I hope that recruiting is a grind so that would make G5 really hard. Stanford would just be cool to see them return to prominence. I would try a Stanford to start and get a grasp of recruiting then dive into the G5

[@wappy_1553]

One of each then decide. No limit on number of dynasties

[@grant2989]

@@wappy_1553 true, I made a logo and everything for team builder, might test out one of each so I know what conference to put my custom team in

[@sweetypie9745]

I like the warhawks, cool name and color combo is nice. Ran with them a few times in the older games. Best of luck!

@@cswee123 it’s gonna be tough but I plan on being the new Boise State by year 3/4

Kennesaw State will be my first dynasty UL Monroe will be second.

[@cswee123]

Still trying to decide what to do for the channels dynasty run. Probably will make it through most G5 schools by the next release though

[@zaybarden8632]

I picked my school Washington state keep in pac12 for first year move to acc or the big 12 second year

[@cswee123]

Just an fyi I am pretty sure you will need to back fill the conference to 4 teams to move them out just a heads up!

@@cswee123 I mean I may move a couple of the better non power 5 teams to replace them

It is generic teams from what I have heard. No mention of if we will ever see FCS in the game fully

[@zaybarden8632]

@@cswee123 I mean idc if there generic as long as it’s a option

[@Uf0andy]

The military schools aren’t going to have the restrictions in game like in real life.

[@cswee123]

I wouldn't be so sure, it would be pretty easy to keep them from doing transfer portal but I am not sure any intel has been released yet so you could be right

[@Uf0andy]

I know one of the goals to upgrade you coach was to get players drafted. So if that’s the case you’re never reaching that goal lmaoo

[@cswee123]

Never even considered that, that would be awful lol

[@richardhaines7652]

How are you going to make Kent state honorable mention. They had the worst record in all of college football.

[@cswee123]

Had to do with recruiting. Not at my computer right now but I don’t believe they had any horrendous classes bad sure but not bottom 15 every year. That accounted for 1/3 of the total ranking

[@cswee123]

Yeah just checked, 20th 8th and 30th so truly not terrible classes like some schools on the list

[@reggieregg4]

Taking UMD to the natty

[@cswee123]

Would be a nice run, I also like the colors and jerseys they have

[@banania34]

Charlotte 49ers??? Are they to easy??

[@cswee123]

Looking at the recruiting they aren’t the worst in the FBS which hindered them too much from being one of the hardest

[@mathewleuret7881]

fiu

[@cswee123]

Might have to give them a run, NCAA 14 with revamped didn't have them so its been a while since I used them. Also being in Florida could provide some cool scenarios in recruiting and conference realignment.

[@OhTrappyTrap]

Lmao how is Temple not on this list?

[@cswee123]

Around 1/3 of the points came from previous recruiting classes. They did not have a single bottom 30 recruiting class in the time frame so their team should be decent when you take the helm

[@themasterdebator3952]

Kent State is probably the worst of all time.

[@cswee123]

They are up there for sure but I think the recruiting didn’t put them in the top 10

[@youngbossman601]

I think I’m going to start with Mississippi State

[@cswee123]

Miss state would be nice, Egg bowl is a top rivarly and bringing them to the top of the SEC would be cool to see.
