The mid-point of the decade of college football many of us here will never forget. Who remembers? From the Cinderella story of Gary Barnett’s Northwestern upsetting Notre Dame on its way to the Rose Bowl to Tommie Frazier running wild on #2 Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. If you are a Cane or Alabama fan (sorry Tommycoa) you remember probation. It was the year we closed the doors to the Southwest Conference, Pacific football, and also got the first Bowl Alliance matchup as well as the new overtime rules. (I remember Corso and Craig James in the pregame talking about the Fiesta Bowl overtime chances and advantages).

Maybe you remember some of the games. Like Virginia giving FSU its first ACC loss, the aforementioned Notre Dame – Northwestern game, or the huge comeback on Tennessee that Danny Wuerffel and the Gators managed.
You may recall the Lawrence Phillips saga, Eddie George’s Heisman Trophy, or that SI Magazine featuring Keyshawn Johnson.
Here is your chance to rewrite history.
I am shooting for a rough draft release on 9/5. FYI - I have been working on this for about 2 years, I have just not started a thread until I was getting close to release. I still have some rating tweaks that may continue for a couple months following, but all teams will be named and most of the ratings close to final.
I am simultaneously building a dynasty file that will have the 1996 recruiting class as good as I can get it, as well as rankings, schedules, storylines, conference alignment, etc. included. I am hoping the dynasty file will be ready mid-season.
Here are the as close as I can get it conference for 1995, I will update later so you can see the progress of teams.
