I wasn't going to do this list but someone let me know they enjoyed them so I decided to do this one as well. The rules are the same. If a team featured on any of my other lists, they don't get included on this one. List for the first three are below if you want to check them out.

This list will be of programs that won't be a challenge to get to the top with. These are the programs you only select if you're a fan and want to play with your team. (Edit: After it was pointed out I forgot to add Texas, I edited the list to 11. I didn't want to drop any one but I always meant to include Texas. )
11. Oklahoma - Joining the SEC is part of why this one is lower ranked. But I know getting a blue blood program like this to the top in a video game won't be challenge.
10. Clemson - A few years ago, they'd been in the top three on this list, but "hard times" have bumped them down. But you'd be foolish if you thinking getting them back to the title game is going to be a challenge.
9. Washington - You could argue moving them off the list since they lost their coach but coming off a National Championship loss I don't see a huge challenge with them. Them joining the Big Ten this year does cause a little more intrigue.
8. Florida State - One could argue they could be a "on the verge team" but despite not making the playoffs last year they should be solid and an easy build. I don't see a challenge in getting FSU to the title.
7. Texas - Texas is very much a program that is rising. They join the SEC this year and that's the only reason they are lower. But you won't find a challenge getting them to the top in the virtual world.
6. LSU - Great traditions but this school won't be a challenge to turn into a champion.
5. Oregon - The Duck will be solid in the game. New conference again has them outside of the top three for me but still an easy one to win a title with in year one.
4. Alabama - New coach doesn't change anything in video game logic. They'll be stacked and easy to keep getting top players to sign with you. If not for changes, they'd be in the top three. For now, I have them at 4. It would be an easy argument to move them though.
3. Michigan - The defending national champs will be really easy to win a title with. Coaching changes won't effect the virtual world. You could argue any of the top three are interchangeable.
2. Georgia - The new Alabama. They are the current gold standard in the SEC. Yes, I know Alabama beat them for the SEC title last year but this program will be back there this year and I don't seem the slowing down.
1. Ohio State - Is there any team that year in year out gets pushed to the top more than Ohio State? Some will say they are always over ranked, and maybe they are, but every season they seem to spend at least some time as the #1 ranked team. Definitely won't be challenge it getting them to a title game.
If you're a fan of any of these teams, of course you'll want to play as them. But if you're and looking for any type of challenge, definitely avoid.
What is your list? And is there any other list series you'd like me to do next now that team tiers are done?
