If you end up doing it let us know how it works out.

but like I said I've seen a ton of teams become a top 10 team, Northern Illinois, Mid Tenn State, San Diego State, New Mexico, etc.

That may be true, but that doesn't change the fact that the ratings of most schools drop dramatically as the dynasty progresses.

Yea, I did see that but I didn't think it mattered that much if these teams were still finding ways to win.

I know with only 20 recruits per season it will probably make a minimal impact....but any little thing can help right?

I tried something similar to this, so I want to warn you. I attempted to make the actual 2011 ESPN Top 150 in my first dynasty year. They limit you to 50 created players...ACTIVE PLAYERS. This means, if you create 50 (which takes effin forever, btw), you will not be able to create another player until one of those 50 have graduated/left for the NFL. Does that make sense? Not sure I explained it well...like...there can only be 50 created players in your dynasty, no matter what. I was pretty mad about it after I'd made 50 of them.
