The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)

Let's go! Great opening win to the season, good to see Nealy being efficient, and the freshman back Adams was good as well. Huge first quarter, and you guys never looked back.

I was really blown out of the water by that start. Just two semi-lucky plays. I'm just trying to stay under 10 interceptions on the season for Nealy!

Nice to see Stanford back in the mix after being beaten up the last few years. It looks like Boston College's reign might be coming to end with being in the Power 5. However, interesting to see their new RB in the Heisman race.



Not pleased with the defense in this one. Their RB was breaking so many tackles it was infuriating. They also had a return TD of their own. Nice to know we can win shootouts if necessary. But 43 points given up to UTSA is not comforting going into our game with Ohio State

Re: The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)



If South Carolina can beat Virginia Tech this week they might be legit. They've been a 97+ overall team the last two seasons but never could win much. There's some good undefeated P5 teams coming down the line in the rankings.



Biggest win in program history! Went into Ohio State and outplayed them. Honestly though, much of our win was due to the game's bad AI. Their offense was literally nothing but WR screens and HB slip screens. If it was a pass down field, the QB would try and scramble- yet he wasn't even fast. Our offense had struggles (two bad throws turned interceptions). Our kicker knocked two 45+ yard fields goals but missed two extra points (I simmed).

We kept true to the ground game and short passes because there was no time to throw with their great D-line. One TD a quarter did they trick as we usually could stop them in the redzone due to a blown up screen. In fact, with about 2 minutes left, we were up 32-16 and on fourth and 25 they scored on a GO route to Fleming. They then got the ball back, finally passed like they should, and go to the 3 yard line where we had a spectacular goalline stand capped with a Reggie Young stuff on the 1 to win the game- hence his game ball.

Congrats on the upset over the Buckeyes. Nothing like playing in front of 100,000 fans. NC State,Wyoming and Colorado State seem to be off to hot starts but the rest of your games look like they should be walk in the parks. I am thinking 10-11 win season.

Going from playing at UNM's super small stadium to Ohio State's actually made the game feel so much bigger- really cool. I'm feeling good about this season simply because we can score big. I agree, those games + North Texas will be interesting.

Re: The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)

What a win! Those big games at big programs always feel different, NCAA really captures atmosphere well. Ohio State, Michigan, FSU are always dope to play at. I did a Florida dynasty last year and it was sick to play in packed 80k capacity stadiums week in week out, every game felt like a bowl.

Thank you sir! Was hoping that win would age better but it looks like OSU isn't have a great year- still beating a program like that feels good.

And yes, I just checked!


Created Prospect Updates

4* WR Deuce Scott signs with the Washington Huskies (New Mexico was second on his list but wasn't even close)

4* RB Joshua Grimes is still open but Notre Dame is running away with his interest- basically, a shoe-in. Grimes locked out New Mexico Day One haha


Also, for the four grad transfers:

97 OVR Matt Corral (transfer from Ole Miss) has signed to play for USC next season for one year

93 OVR Dakereon Joyner (transfer from South Carolina) is closing in on playing for Oklahoma and replacing Spencer Rattler next year

92 OVR Cord Sandberg (transfer from Auburn) is strangely between Florida State and South Alabama with a significant edge to FSU

92 OVR Kedon Slovis (transfer from USC) is heavily favored to stay in his home state and sign with Arizona State to replace highly accomplished QB Jayden Daniels

Definitely! I could only imagine what other atmosphere stuff they could have added over the years if NCAA stayed alive. One of my favorite personal dynasties on '14 was a build-up of UMass. They play in Gillette Stadium so the first 4-5 years were completely empty stadiums. Then once we started becoming ranked and winning a lot- had packed mega stadiums. It was a super cool transition

Re: The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)



Alabama is looking TOUGH. Poor Ole Miss with three Top 10 opponents in their first four games. However, I looked and their schedule is "easy" from here out. #10 this early could be a blessing. Really interested in seeing the South Carolina / Georgia outcome- two undefeated powers bouncing back.



Probably the most pissed I've been in this dynasty was giving up two 70+ yard scores (blown run fits on both with 2nd stringers). Six points allowed would have been our best performance ever. Other than that, can't complain. Nealy and Adams are dynamite athletes in the backfield. The defense, 1st team at least, was all over Rice. 4-0!

Thank you! Was an exciting and unpredictable game.

Re: The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)



Really disappointed that South Carolina lost! I was following their game on the ticker and they legitimately blew a 14-point lead with two minutes left. Cool to see both them and UGA bouncing back with good seasons. I originally thought BC was going to be beat down by the P5 but just turns out SCAR was pretty good. There has been a super low number of Top Ranked Matchups thus far. Hope it picks up more into the season... How about Nealy getting into the Heisman Watch?



Youngstown State was AWFUL. Truly felt like I was playing a scrub team. Their receivers couldn't catch and their backs were slow. On offense, I could call about any play I wanted and it'd work. Both picks I threw were a reflection of this: overconfident arrogance lol. Regardless, 10 points is the least amount of points we have ever allowed in a game! Big excited. The motor is now turning up as we move into the defining stretch of our season. 5-0!

Re: The Great Realignment (NCAA 14)



Still not much cracking (probably a jinx). Tulane having such a good year is a big surprise but checking their schedule: their next three opponents are TCU (5-1), #10 Ole Miss, and #5 Oklahoma. OOOOF.



Not the prettiest game at first but the offense played efficient despite being a bit slow without Adams. The defense wasn't budging and truly gave us plenty of time to get the offense going. Love having a good defense. BIG BIG test next week against NC State. 6-0!
