Schools in your dyanasties that always become powerhouses
 

For me, every dynasty that I play Navy and Georgia Tech always end up in the top 5 in a couple of years.

Anyone else have teams that no matter how many dynasties you play the same team/teams always become powerhouses?

I agree with your observations. Boise and Fresno sometimes do very well.

I'm up to the year 2041 in a dynasty and Navy and Army are usually top-10 teams. Each won a national title in the 2020s and 2030s. But Air Force is usually a .500 team. Go figure.

It's because they are option heavy teams. Any school that hires a head coach with the Navy option playbook or the Georgia Tech flexbone playbook become dominate, because the option in the sim (computer simmed the games) environment is almost unstoppable.

Northern Illinois became a powerhouse in both of my long-term dynasties. I had to move them to a better conference each time so it would make at least a little sense for them to play for the title.

Sometimes I manually change their play style from option attack to something else. I'll also change the worst team (for me it was UTSA) to an option attack and watch how many seasons it takes them to turn to a top 5 program. (3 seasons for me)

Usually GT and VT

I remember in previous versions of the game where the option game wasn't as good, I'd schedule GT every year and absolutely destroy them. This helped balance them out a little.

Western Michigan was doing pretty strong in mine for a while, then died down.

This is my 5th season.
