The Weirdest National Championship Game You've Seen On The Game Thus Far...

[dxdude2004]

Hey everyone, hope you're having as much fun with this game as I am.

One of the fun things to do in dynasty mode is to simulate to the NC game and see who is playing. While I haven't been doing exactly that, I have been keeping track of teams that won the NC that I didn't think would. Two of the most odd teams winning the NC in my dynasties are Michigan State and Mississippi State.

I'd like this thread to be a nice discussion thread talking about weird NC games you've seen, teams that won the championship that stood out to you, etc etc. Let's have some fun here!

My season 1 national championship was Utah vs. Mississippi State

Year 1 of mine was Georgia Tech (ACC) vs. Troy (Big East)



I had 6 mega 16 team conferences and everybody just eliminated themselves and those 2 were the only ones left undefeated<O

I've had 2 strange ones in the past. I don't have NCAA12 so neither of these were in this years version of the game but in NCAA10 in year 4 UCLA beat West Virginia. In my current New Mexico dynasty in NCAA11 my first year TCU beat Boise and Miami beat Michigan State. There's a chance in year 3 Utah could play Michigan State. It's funny to see what random championships happen in this game

I simulated a season to test our coaching carousel. The national championship game was 11-1 Nevada and 11-2 South Carolina.

Yeah it is funny to see. Maybe more people will respond once the community rosters are released and more people begin their dynasties.

Simmed a Dynasty just to test carousel. Miss State won the 2nd year. Finished season 1 of an OD with a friend, Miss State won that one.

Currently 11 games into the season of a new OD and Utah is #1.

Start of year 3 as ND. Boise State is the current back to back National Champs

No adjustments to conferences.

Year 1 - 13-0 UCF vs 13-0 TAMU

Year 1 - 12-1 Oregon vs 13-0 South Carolina. Oregon won. I find it weird because it just replaced Auburn with SC.

Another time I believe it was Michigan vs Wisconsin or something like that. I know it was 2 big ten teams ranked 1 and 2

I know Pittsburgh won the most recent. The oddest reason about that though was it was year 3. They are ranked 89, in a super conference of 89-99 ranked schools (14 of them) and in the hardest division. They were one of the lowest ranked teams but won the conference and the NC.

UCF get's pretty scary later on in your dynasty. Especially if they get bumped up conferences. They are sitting at a 93 OVR right now.

Just got to this one in my Online Dynasty:

#1 12-0 Boise State vs #2 13-0 Houston. What.

Re: The Weirdest National Championship Game You've Seen On The Game Thus Far...

In my 1937 setup, I had UCF vs. TCU in year 2. UCF is an easy to win conference, but is usually replaced with a TB team so I've got to do some more tests without them in it and weaken the junk conferences.

In my RTG career, the first NC game was between UCF and Boise State.

I'm a UCF alum, and Boise State is probably my second-favorite team (go BCS busters!), so this was pretty much my dream matchup for the NC game :-P

I know it would never happen in real life though, sadly.

With all the appearances of UCF, it seems conference prestige must be toned down a bit in poll logic, though my UCF is in the Mountain West so it gets a bit of a boost (B vs. C-USA's C prestige)... or they are the only undefeated remaining so they probably should manage top 2.
