I’m actually shocked no one else is talking about FIU. I graduated and ran track at FIU, the athletics program is in shambles. I’m glad someone is finally talking about FIU, jerseys and field is sick too

[@nehye6510]

I will be rebuilding FIU for sure

[@Alton21]

I’m torn between FIU & FAU.

[@Brad_Butters]

@@Alton21 I would do FIU. Harder to rebuild imo, and the field is sick if they have the alternative fields in the game

[@trying.348]

​@@Brad_Butters that's really cool man, do they change the entire color of the turf for the alternative field?

[@garrisonr1890]

Someone really needs to listen to split zone duo (if you don’t already)

[@HussainAl--Khalil]

I’m from Jersey so my first dynasty will be with Rutgers. Feel like they’ll be a 2 star team at most . Being in that conference with Ohio st, penn st & Michigan will set up to be a great challenge to run through.

[@zakwan10]

50 year old dude here and so reved up about this game, your video came up on my list, great work, new subscriber.

[@PanoPrime]

I really appreciate it! I’m so hyped for this game it’s kind of embarrassing lol. Less than 1 hour!

[@AUZlE]

The defense is terrible compared to 14

[@hang1893]

In NCAA 12 maybe 13.. i rebuilt Miami Redhawks.. it took me 6 seasons to finally win a championship with them. I ended up winning 5 titles with them, then I left and went to another team. They were still able to win 2 more championships after I left. It was super fun and the one thing I missed about not having an NCAA title over the past 10 years. Cant wait to find another team to rebuild. My bro died 10 years ago in Dec and we always played together. So knowing he's not around to play this one sucks.

[@s.h.5297]

Let’s go RedHawks!! We sucked for a long time so I’m impressed! I’ll be using them when I play, love and honor 🤘

[@YouDontKnowMebro69]

Sorry for your loss bro.

[@j.vinton4039]

Hawai’i. I’ve always built them up back in the old games. Looking forward to doing it again!

[@PanoPrime]

Hawaii is so much fun to rebuild, I hope it’s going well!

[@RobJohn89]

Great video. I'm from the UK and a long time football fan, this will be the first time I've ever played a college game - and not being from the US or the schools got me stumped on who to pick. Got a bit more knowledge now and will certainly be following your vids - keep it up!

[@PanoPrime]

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words! Have fun on the game and I hope you pick a good school

[@dhaynes325]

I went with the Charlotte 49ers. It’s rougher than rough but so far so good. I will see after the season if I’ll run it back or see if a bigger school wants me as coach. However, I may stay there for the challenge.

[@jeremytang5548]

SJSU alum here, will be fun rebuilding a program from the Bay Area. So much talent comes from Northern California region

[@PanoPrime]

True, that should be a recruit hotspot! Good luck!

[@GUNSUPFUNDSUP6]

Northwestern 🎉 I’m a Chicago native and even though it’s officially in Evanston but it’s really Far North Chicago 🫡💯🇺🇸

[@Nekrocold]

I havent got the game yet.Only get it in 2 and a half weeks time but i've thought about doing a Northwestern dynasty mode.Never played a College Football game so the hype for this is real.

[@XxMolladoxX]

A bunch of my homies and I are doing an online dynasty together with bad teams and everyone was shook when I picked FIU. They’ve been on my radar for months and I rarely see anyone mention them on KZbin. I was happy after when I saw them number 1😂 great video brotha💯

[@PanoPrime]

Good luck with FIU! I appreciate the kind words

[@Peezyy209]

Lemme join the league if you got a spot

[@damazsta]

I’m in the league with the homies 3 stars and below.. I’m tryna get a one up on em. What’s some sleepers?

[@DaesoTheOne]

Def choosing JSU for my rebuild. Mainly because of alma but I like the stadium and the jerseys are clean. The playbook is electric asf too and they have good pipelines. Def a top choice for me

[@jeremyj.demers8173]

What about UConn they are perfect and jerseys are 🔥🔥

[@PanoPrime]

Make them a football and basketball powerhouse, I like it

[@coltt]

As a temple guy, I’m really excited to rebuild them and very depressed to watch them this upcoming season

[@PanoPrime]

Lmao, I feel that. Good luck on the rebuild

[@clownbaby3877]

Go owls

[@DaFro3713]

Fellow Temple alum here, I feel seen knowing we’re one of the best small schools to build up in the game. And longing for the Matt Rhule era again.

[@psychedelicsidekick5233]

Playing in a 32 man dynasty with no power 5 teams allowed lol.

[@PanoPrime]

That sounds like so much fun, what team are you gonna pick?

[@loganseawright1173]

It’s the power 4 now. Rip the PAC 12

[@dbrundirksart]

@@psychedelicsidekick5233 that’s intense.

[@HoraceKock]

i locked in FIU as a joke bc of the “broward prison pipeline” coming straight to my door, but the area is genuinely insane for recruiting. heart of prime time miami dade with a lot of ability to draw recruits while having a good skeleton of a school to work with.

[@PanoPrime]

I'm hoping they can attract some insane recruits. We'll see!

[@jegjrtp87]

Im playing with 2 teams. A rebuild team and my favorite team FSU. I haven't decided on my rebuild team yet.

[@__james__7374]

I’m gonna do the same thing the way FAU and the hurricanes lol

[@PanoPrime]

That will be fun, good luck on both!

[@PanoPrime]

Do the canes proud

[@Silvervelocity1988]

Surprised The Arkansas State Red Wolves aren’t on this list… cool logo, cool uniforms and they only have to compete with Arkansas for instate recruiting and are bordered by Texas,Mississippi,Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee and Oklahoma, that’s a pretty solid recruiting soil if you ask me that’s who I’m gonna build to a dynasty

[@Haterade420]

Kennesaw State most famous football alum… Bronson Rechsteiner aka WWE’s Bron Breakker.

[@PanoPrime]

I did not know that lol. Thanks for the knowledge drop

[@blackkeebler]

That's wild. I get Kennesaw St mags sent to my house because the previous owners of my house went there. It goes directly in the trash.

[@troyj13]

his brother plays bball at vt

[@jsmeez520]

Hell ya on including Wyoming!!! That was my random go-to dynasty back in the day! Never even been to the state but I feel like it would be a fun school to go to in general. Georgia Southern will always be my true love small school though. After already playing a couple of games with GSU, it's awesome that EA gave them the proper home field love. Comments are on point as well as the band and crowd cheers!!!

[@PanoPrime]

Gotta love Wyoming, and I’m glad to hear that about GSU. I’ll have to try them out

[@kenweeks9028]

I'd pick a small or unsuccessful school in Texas for the same reasons he picked FIU: great recruiting potential. I'm thinking Rice or UTSA just for unusual mascots. I'm reading that others played older NCAA FB games in Dynasty like I did: go from one bad team to another, build them up, win a Natty and move on. I've almost got Charlotte winning a 'ship by recruiting only 2-star players. I use a lot of transfers, seek out gems, and have an extensive redshirting program. I do agree that ECU has the most aesthetically pleasing unis and stadium/field. Recruiting against four ACC schools in state, two ACC schools in Va, and Clemson & So Carolina in SC would be tough. GA and FL are no easier.

[@mattw731]

I’m a homer but ECU had 0 QB play last year. Brought in 2 upgrades, favorable schedule, an NFL CB, and a stout defensive front. A little harsh to be a 1-star team coming off 8 & 7 win seasons

[@PanoPrime]

I agree

[@hondapride59]

FIU AND USF used to always be the teams I'd rebuild back in past games. I'll probably have to run with FIU again

[@PanoPrime]

That Florida pipeline is so good for recruiting!

[@stevenhoracius8218]

I might go with ECU (rocking my favorite color in purple, the weren't good last year and CJ2K played there) Kennesaw State (harder to make them good and they are fresh in the FBS. Also, they were trash last year and I like their uniform.) Honarble mentions: ODU and UNT

[@PanoPrime]

ECU unis are clean

[@bobbytimms9138]

What is the best stadiums for 1 and 2 star teams. It's so frustrating to me that you can't take Kennesaw state to glory and still have the tiniest stadium ever with no chance of upgrading. Definitely think it needs to be revamped next year. Would be very rewarding to see facilities change as you grow the program.

[@PanoPrime]

Yeah, I wish you could upgrade stadiums

[@rontaanderson9667]

🤔 i’ve been thinking about rebuilding Georgia state.. maybe kenn state.. I wanted to do the Kennesaw state but everybody in the mom is rebuilding Kennesaw state

[@knownelijah856]

who cares gang rebuild whoever you want its all about having fun don’t worry about other people 💯

[@frankleben5451]

What are they doing “in the mom”?!?! 😳

[@PanoPrime]

Rebuild whoever you want! It’s YOUR dynasty!

[@SirForepaugh]

Working on a Louisiana Monroe rebuild. The school’s other traits are weak so it’s been a slowish rebuild. Coincidentally had General Booty as my QB so bonus points there

[@iMalcolm98]

I'm surprised with how many MW teams you picked that you didn't mention the New Mexico Lobos

[@PanoPrime]

They were close to making the top 10, i couldn't pick only mountain west teams though lol

[@muddywaters2818]

I would’ve switched Liberty with Sam Houston State. Recently won a natty at the FCS level. They have that Houston pipeline and even the scraps for all the Texas teams still have great players. Then another team on the list could’ve been Ball St, they’ve been trash or mid forever except that one random year they went 12-2 in 2008. Dominos creator, Garfield creator, ton of famous sports writers, and David Letterman went there. Your only real competition with in state recruiting would be Notre Dame because Indiana isn’t much of a threat.

[@PanoPrime]

I just had to add Liberty, having to 90 overall players is crazy for a small school like that lol. Sam Houston is a good option though for sure

[@muddywaters2818]

@@PanoPrime yea I feel ya. It’s like back in the day when Boise State had Kellen Moore, Doug Martin, and all those guys. Not even fair to have that many highly ranked guys in a lower tier conference. Liberty depending on their D should go undefeated in the regular season again. Their HC has done it twice in 4 years.

[@ohhnospaghettio6104]

James Madison has been a fun build, first couple of seasons in the SBC, then I moved to the B1G.

[@nowayjose1313]

Rebuild to me means that they were one on top of the nation but are currently a shell of their former self. To me, that would be teams like Miami, Florida, Kansas State and Nebraska.

[@PanoPrime]

I have another video with those types of teams, this was more for smaller schools but I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching!

[@YoungDolan]

I’m glad this channel is recommended for me hope you continue to grow it’s really solid

[@PanoPrime]

Thank you! for watching! I appreciate the kind words!

[@steven2189]

I’m gonna start as the OC at Texas state, great jerseys and stadium, Texas recruiting, got a great QB to start with and there OC is a first year OC who never coached before he’s a former alumni QB so I’m gonna fill in for him

[@PanoPrime]

That’s awesome! Have fun with the rebuild!

[@jamjamguy6847]

Utsa, become the dominant school in Texas. Program is just past 10 years old and has taken great strides. Time to take them to another level.

[@PanoPrime]

Good recruiting in Texas! Good luck!

[@watts47]

I'll probably try out FIU. I live in Florida so back in the old games I would always try to rebuild different Florida teams. And UCF will be my main dynasty

[@PanoPrime]

All Florida schools should get good recruits! Good luck!

[@furiogiunta7886]

UTSA (Texas San Antonio) was my favorite team to do a dynasty with from NCAA 14. Can't beat the Texas pipeline for recruiting.

[@PanoPrime]

Texas has so many good recruits! I hope your dynasty goes well!

[@furiogiunta7886]

@@PanoPrime Thanks, I ended up using Rice, only 1 star.

Did a random wheel spin with all the teams in the game and head/offensive/defensive Unfortunately got the DC of New Mexico State. Going to bring the lobos to the big show and hopefully become a HC at a power 5 in 10 years 😂

Haha, that’s a tough spin. Good luck!

Lived near ECU and grew up near App both would be great options as far as cool schools. Eyeing UNR as a school too due to location and them having Brock Purdy’s brother at QB now

I'm a Buckeye alumni but don't want to do a dynasty with a top team, but I also don't know if I want a bottom dweller. I thought about starting with Miami because they're decent/good, has FL pipeline, etc. Idk though.
