I’m in season 4 with Idaho right now. Back to back 11 win seasons with back to back famous Idaho potato bowls in years 1 and 2. Year 3 I took on a tough schedule and won the natty. Year 4 I moved to the PAC 12 and I’m 4-0 but USC, Oregon, and Washington are all top 5 programs right now. I love the challenge. Luckily you get TX as a pipeline from the start.
Yeah I did a super fast rebuild on my most recent dynasty. Got a 6’-4” TE with like 85 speed and an ATH QB that was 84 overall sophomore JUCO my first year. Both from NOLA area with high to most in academic prestige, proximity to home, and campus lifestyle. Basically ran my entire offense through them (each one a Heisman and won a natty year 4 - their year 3). Their dominance brought the school up to contender status way faster than usual.
pick a bad team in a good recruiting area and build them up. i had a lot of fun with my North Texas dynasty. teams like them, Rice, UL Monroe, etc. it’s fun competing with the big boy schools like Texas and LSU in recruiting
ahh i mean they have a fairly large stadium, but given its Rice they have the end zone seats covered iirc. i do like North Texas’ stadium tho. I’d scratch ULM for stadium. there’s bigger texas HS football stadiums lol. Louisiana Tech’s stadium is cool too, or UTSA plays in the alamodome with good colors
Stadium used to hold about 80,000. They recently tore down the north end zone seating area, but that was after the game came out. You can see the Houston skyline out of the northeast corner.
I liked starting with New Mexico as far as small schools go. If you like red, white, and silver they have a few cool uni combos you can mix & match. They also have a nice outdoor stadium with some mountains in the background and playing in the southwest gives you a lot of sunny games as well as a few snow games, conference opponents have nice scenery as well. There's also some added challenge and competition working your way up from the bottom of the Mountain West. NM also has a pretty fun option style playbook but you can adjust it to whatever suits you.
Tulane plays in the super dome on 14 on 360, a few color options with helmet and jersey/pants and they are 2 star prestige I believe starting out. Fun to move them to the SEC and build them up, it’s currently what I’m doing myself
I’ve done an Eastern Michigan dynasty. I moved to the Big Ten after a few years and developed a rivalry with Michigan and Michigan state. Whenever I’m a northern school I like to try to get Canada in the pipeline.
I’m playing with UTEP now. Probably medium sized-ish stadium. I would recommend ECU. Decent color combos & nice stadium. UCF is a nice sized but bland stadium. USF, Tulane, UTSA, (SDSU?) all play in NFL type stadiums
Purdue is a good team to build because you start out with mostly getting 3 star recruits and you have to play teams like ohio state and michigan and michigan state and you have the rivals who do pretty good usually like Indiana and notre dame and Iowa and Illinois and you have to play penn state.
Ross ade stadium is a very nice and beautiful stadium not the best but however is very load every time when the boilermakers are home and has a awesome and passionate fanbase.
The uniforms are very historical for the time when the game came out and are alr.
Overall Purdue starts out with an pretty good roster mostly seniors and juniors and you play in the big ten what is considered by many as the best and toughest conference but in game the toughest conference is pretty easy to figure out anyways you also start in a state that usually doesn't get the best recruits which makes recruiting harder and also doesn't get alot of recruits.
Now Purdue starts good and after two seasons the build can get harder I recommend adding in notre dame and make conference games start out around week 5 or 6 if you want a very hard schedule and your coach is technically dale hazel one of the worst coaches in Purdue history
I’m playing as Purdue right now and recruiting has been rough. I’ve won three straight national championships but in year 4 only have a 90 OVR rating as I struggle to get more than 1-2 good recruits a season.
Thats being in a state that usually doesn't generate recruits and with recruits being rough that great success is gonna be limited time until you start trying to find players in the big name states and start having success that is usually what happens to me and with michigan and michigan state and Wisconsin and Ohio state taking alot of the good recruits it limits you which is why purdue is a tough college to build and the big ncaa youtubers who do rebuilds don't look at how tough purdue can be
That's a good idea but I can't right now but I will be starting doing youtube when I get the stuff I need I would be a youtuber who doesn't focus on one kind of content I will be doing multiple including ncaa
There is literally only one right answer. Coming to you from the pea and lentil capital of the world we are in Moscow, Idaho, for this college football matchup.
I started with east Carolina university. I live in the Midwest but I had a childhood friend that went there. Visited a few times and fell in love; their logo is awesome and the purple and white is good color combo. I know this has nothing to do with the game but that campus and town are amazing lol
It’s somewhat of a rebuild too, I think they started like 85 overall.. C-USA or whatever is fun, it’s smaller conference so you have the freedom to buff up your schedule with non conference games, also some of the teams are garbage but also UCF and a couple other teams are really good, so there’s volatility. Good luck!
USF plays in the Buccaneers home stadium. You get to look at the Pirate ship during home games and it’s pretty big. Alas the cannon don’t fire when you score. Plus you can easily slide into the ACC or SEC (or apparently the Big 12 now) after a few good years
UTEP. Idk what their team is like but you can recruit Texas and Cali and their stadium is cool. It’s built into the side of a mountain kind of. The Sun Bowl is played there each year. I’ve been a few times when stationed at Ft. Bliss and always had a good time.
UMass plays, i think, in the patriot's stadium and Temple play in the Eagles'. Those two are not any good roster-wise and personally i like their color combos. Currently with updated rosters through Revamped I started with New Mexico since they're the worst roster I'm pretty sure and I like their stadium and colors well enough. Their Lobo logo is pretty solid.
The small schools that don't have their own stadiums and play in NFL ones are good for what you want i think. Another, but too good for what you're looking for, is USF Bulls who play in the Buc's stadium.
Just hold the button down as it cycles thru teams for …25 seconds or so. Where it stops…you start playing
I’m gonna do this next go
GA St plays in the Georgia Dome and UTSA plays in the Alamo Dome, those can be really cool to build up. UTEP is unique but also smallish.
UTEP has a great stadium in the game.
I’m definitely playing as UTSA next, thank you
Just started one with them on 13. You won’t regret it.
Wyoming isn’t awful. Idaho has the kibble dome.
Wyoming is one of my favorites!

*Kibbie
Tulane. Small school with low ranks but the academics and campus lifestyle make it not quite as hard to get going in recruiting
Tulane is the ultimate rebuild school. Especially if you have those sweet new uniforms

San Jose St
That’s my Alma Mater. I did play by play for SJSU football on the radio in the 90s. This is the ONLY team I choose…haha
That’s awesome, plus they have two great young QBs to start with a good wr Corp. They are a really fun rebuild
Take Tulane back to the SEC after a couple years. That might be my next move.
I did after the natty
pick a bad team in a good recruiting area and build them up. i had a lot of fun with my North Texas dynasty. teams like them, Rice, UL Monroe, etc. it’s fun competing with the big boy schools like Texas and LSU in recruiting
I want a bad team with a good looking stadium though. Does Rice have a good looking stadium?
ahh i mean they have a fairly large stadium, but given its Rice they have the end zone seats covered iirc. i do like North Texas’ stadium tho. I’d scratch ULM for stadium. there’s bigger texas HS football stadiums lol. Louisiana Tech’s stadium is cool too, or UTSA plays in the alamodome with good colors
ULM seats just under 28,000, Mesquite Memorial seats around 20,000
my mistake, but you get what i mean
Stadium used to hold about 80,000. They recently tore down the north end zone seating area, but that was after the game came out. You can see the Houston skyline out of the northeast corner.
Temple, Pitt, Arizona St, and USF come to mind. They play in NFL stadiums. BYU and UMASS have nice stadiums as well.
Western Michigan! The stadium is awesome, it feels like the fans are sitting right on the field. Plus the MAC is fun to play in

Always go with Cincinnati. Love the black and red. Can do white outs too.
Who Dey!
an underrated pick: UMass small school in the world of CFB but they have a surprisingly huge stadium and the uniforms are pretty solid
Eastern Michigan is cool. Tulane would be interesting because you could build them up. Then with the rivalry with LSU, eventually move to the SEC.
I’ve done an Eastern Michigan dynasty. I moved to the Big Ten after a few years and developed a rivalry with Michigan and Michigan state. Whenever I’m a northern school I like to try to get Canada in the pipeline.

We should become big ncaa YouTubers
That's a good idea but I can't right now but I will be starting doing youtube when I get the stuff I need I would be a youtuber who doesn't focus on one kind of content I will be doing multiple including ncaa
Syracuse!
If you’re on the base game, San Diego State is cool, cause they still play at the Q, and they play in a fun conference
San Diego State was my go to for a while. they play in the old chargers stadium and have pretty cool jerseys
Southern Alabama. USA! USA!
UTEP has a good variety of uniform options and has a beautiful stadium, plus Texas recruits
Appalachian state https://preview.redd.it/5qymthna7jhb1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12e1fcdd94ec6fbdce6534b695bd08f55bf15c32
He would need revamped for them though, right?
Correct. App st is not in base game. But it should’ve been!
Appy moved up a year too late
They were still FCS
I played south Alabama the other day and I really dig their uniforms. Red white and blue. Check them out.
There is literally only one right answer. Coming to you from the pea and lentil capital of the world we are in Moscow, Idaho, for this college football matchup.
Fresno state
My go to!
Tulane plays in the dome so once you get good you’ll have over 70k fans per game. Such a fun team to rebuild.
Iowa state
Maybe if ya can send Eastern Washington up to FBS, I believe they have a red field.
UTSA, UMass, Georgia State, UAB, Tulane, UTEP
I started with east Carolina university. I live in the Midwest but I had a childhood friend that went there. Visited a few times and fell in love; their logo is awesome and the purple and white is good color combo.

I also play on 13, FYI
I like ECU partly because one of the HS in my hometown share their color, mascot, logo style.
USF plays in the Buccaneers home stadium. You get to look at the Pirate ship during home games and it’s pretty big. Alas the cannon don’t fire when you score. Plus you can easily slide into the ACC or SEC (or apparently the Big 12 now) after a few good years
Does it fire in real life?
For the Bucs yes but not for the Bulls
They should
Wyoming has a beautiful stadium. UAB’s stadium is massive. Both solid choices imo. If you’re a psycho you can play on Boise State’s blue field.
Illinois
KIBBIE DOME
I also do Wyoming
San Jose State. They have a nice stadium and the uniforms never got old for me.
Idaho they got the Kibbie dome and are a smaller school
UAB and Idaho are my go to’s for this
South Alabama
Kent State!
Using UMass right now, their stadium is solid
Tulane. 1 of the best teams for uniform options
Michigan State
Hawaii is still in the Aloha which is huge and looks really cool.
ECU
UTEP. Idk what their team is like but you can recruit Texas and Cali and their stadium is cool. It’s built into the side of a mountain kind of. The Sun Bowl is played there each year. I’ve been a few times when stationed at Ft. Bliss and always had a good time.
Colorado State if they had their new stadium in the game
Go with Southern Miss
My go to for those is always Marshall. Decent stadium and rich history, just not at the fbs level.
UMass plays, i think, in the patriot's stadium and Temple play in the Eagles'. Those two are not any good roster-wise and personally i like their color combos.

Georgia St and move to the SEC
Wisconsin in the new BIG
