Utah & GT

[stratospaly]

I went 9 years deep at FIU trying to get the carosel to allow me a job at Arkansas. I rigged the SEC so Arkansas had 5,4, and eve 2 wins. Their HC kept getting resigned instead of them offering me. I finally gave up on that Dynasty.

The interesting footnote was after 9 years Utah and GT were 6 stars and only had 1-2 losses per year while schools like Alabama, Texas, Auburn, and Florida were down to 2 star and couldn't buy a win, even though I moved them to the C-USA.

Oklahoma and TCU play each other so it's a sure thing that one will lose.

Not if he is making custom conferences.

I'm well into my second dynasty season, but wanted to come back and update this thread, for results on my season 1.

#1 Oklahoma defeated #2 TCU in the regular season, so they matched up with a one loss Utah team in the NC.

And the one loss UTAH team takes down Oklahoma (the only undefeated team) and claims the National Championship!!!

It will be interesting if stay a powerhouse in my dynasty. Haven't heard much noise from GT though.

On a side note, I've noticed that there are some different dynamics in place this year with regard to BCS ranking, specifically being able to hold your position. In years past, I had no problem holding my position, as long as I didn't lose, no matter what. This season, I dropped an early OT loss to Arkansas, then clawed my way back up to 3rd, even as a one loss team. But then I fell from 3rd to 4th even though I won. Then to my surprise I won a close game to a ranked #24 Miss State team and fell again from 4th to 5th!!! I was shocked that it happened, but not necessarily disappointed. Makes the rankings and polls seem more fluid and realistic - not like a black and white formula. I suppose (hoping) that now it matters more to schedule better quality out of conference opponents as well.
