I came across that same glitch I ended the season ranked #1 then I won my conference tournament and went undefeated. Then I was a 17 seed, I made the national championship and lost by 5
This is my career so far:
No recruiting boosts or in-game purchases, and players can’t leave school early.
I’ve won the conference 36 years in a row, the only year I didn’t win it was season 1
