    Which powerhouse always seems to go downhill in your dynasties?

    So in my sim dynasties, to check rosters and progressions and conference alignments and bugs and just for kicks sometimes, I have seen 3 powerhouses consistently go downhill when starting with OS community based rosters.



    1. Texas. In all my sim dynasties that are past year 10, I have only seen Texas above *** in one. That one they were 6* and winning national title's like they were free.


    2. Miami. Don't know why, but again they rarely end up over ***. Sometimes they are 4, but usually 3, in one they are a single * program!

    3. USC. Don't get me wrong, USC isn't rated that strongly to begin with but I have never had an NCAA game where USC wasn't usually top 10, at least top 25 and always 5 or 6*. Not a single time have they ended 10 years above 4*. Not once.


    Note: I did have all of them end up 5/6* when I did an "independents" dynasty where I made the top 32 teams independent, and then only scheduled a bunch of pasties for each (rivals + FCS schools) so basically a free 9-3 season minimum. That one doesn't count in my book though.

      Gators always decline, and UCF always become a powerhouse.

        Notre Dame and Texas are rapidly falling but i was shocked to see Arkansas and south carolina be at 1 and2 in weeks 8 and 9 of the 6th yr. SEc is dominant while big 12 and big 10 are falling apart

          South Carolina usually remains a top 10-15 program in mine, too, but it seems like Arkansas normally falls off about 5-7 years in.

            Gators declined and declined fast. In year 8 they're back on the up swing though.

            USC is now a 3 star prestige school even though their team is still highly rated.

            Same with Oklahoma. They've finished near the bottom of the Big 12 standings the past 3 seasons hovering around .500 or so. Coach Stoops prestige is a D- and he has one of the lowest job security % in the country but OU never pulls the trigger and keeps bringing him back.

            Texas went downhill but I think I had a hand in that as I moved them to Independent.

                Florida.

                Also, Troy is almost always a powerhouse after 6 or 7 years. Basically Boise State 2

                  USC they are still a 4* program but they went 3-8 last year.

                  Ohio st. started to decline but are now in prime form.

                  on a different note has anyone had to make Alabama lose?

                    Bama sometimes steals recruits from you when;

                    1. They're soft verballed to you
                    2. They haven't offered them a scholly
                    3. They haven't even scheduled a visit

                    It's those Dodge Chargers, man.

                      I have seen Alabama go down once, but that was a weird dynasty as I did a SEC 14 sim (+A&M/West Virginia to West/East), and West Virginia ended up being NC 4 of 11 years.

                      Alabama ended up being a Mississippi State type team, top 25 but never an SEC West title

                        Miami, ND, and for some reason Florida State usually end up as denizens of the murky depths of D-I football in my dynasties.

                          Florida and LSU are always on the decline in my dynasties.

                            Some observations fro mine:
                            Florida and LSU fall off a cliff
                            South Carolina wins 2-4 games a year
                            Ohio St is .500 or so team while Fickell is their coach
                            Florida St has yet to have consecutive winning seasons
                            Nevada (MWest) and UCF (Big East) become powers. Boise not far behind
                            Idaho rules the WAC (4*)
                            Alumnus:
                            - Northern Arizona University
                            - University of North Texas


                            My teams:
                            NFL - Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals
                            NCAAF/B - Arizona Wildcats, Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, North Texas Mean Green

                            I find it amusing that the OS icon for NAU is 20 years (and three rebrands!) out of date.

                              I always see Alabama fall. Auburn and LSU are always powerhouses. Ohio St. never wins the big 10
