How Big of a Blow is No Dynamic Conference Prestige?

That's not what they're talking about. They're saying if the SEC falls off, they'll still always be an A+. The ACC can have 3 top ten teams every year, but they'll always be a B, and since conference prestige has so much to do with the NCG, teams with a lower conference prestige have no prayer. I've seen 1 loss teams jump undefeated ACC teams far too often.

Of the things missed out on, this one doesn't rank too high.

What are the chances of the SEC actually falling off in this game? With every year Alabama, Florida, LSU and the others pulling in the best recruits?

I really don't understand how they could give all us these tools, and options to create custom conferences, and then not have Dynamic Conference Prestige.

I mean how in the world can you have options for things like night games in November, and yet not have Dynamic Conference Prestige? It boggles the mind.

With the ability to recreate the conferences the chances are very good that the SEC COULD fall off in someone's dynasty.

The chances are good that people will rearrange their conferences but the conference prestige ratings will not change to reflect such and that is bigger then just whether or not the SEC will fall off. You may not be looking to rearrange conferences much but there are those of us that are.

I'm sure the NCAA doesn't really like the idea of its current make up being shredded but with all the talk and moves going on in the NCAA it is inevitable so I am sure a compromise was made and so now we can do almost whatever we want to change up the conferences but the static conference prestige ratings end up having some governance over this.

I for one was going to disembowel the Big12 figuratively speaking but with the prestige not changing and with having to have four teams in the Big12 I had to change plans and thus the big12 remains in My game as a viable conference.

I am sure the big12 would like to know that the way this game is set up guides folks to not destroy it. Too much talk in that direction is not a good thing for them.

To me this is actually pretty disappointing. I wanted to even out the confrences to make sure they're alla B ish overall. Oh well. It's not make or break and I'll enjoy the game nevertheless

With the addition of a coaching carousel the chances are pretty good especially when you can play 60 years. I highly doubt the SEC will be the best conference all 60 years of my dynasty, yet their conference prestige will still say they are.

If I switch the Sun Belt and SEC, the Sun Belt should gain an A+ Conference Prestige while the SEC gains the Sun Belts' Prestige.

Exactly. This isn't NCAA 11, where coaches never move and Joe Pa coaches when he's 140 years old. A team can make a bad hire. They could bring in a coach who's offense is an awful fit for their team and fall apart (a la Rich Rod), then bring in a less prestigious coach who can't bring in top talent. Plenty of ways for a team to fall off.

Or someone can just take all the good teams out of the SEC and make superconferences with the Sun Belt, MAC, C-USA, and MWC if they wanted to, but the SEC would have A+ prestige in the end.
