That makes me sick. I'm suprised we made it to 4-0 before our first loss. I've noticed this with Florida too.

The thing that bothers me is after about 3 or 4 years in a dynasty, mid-majors climb up in your polls and end up winning the NC. That drives me nuts. Or a 2 loss Ohio or Louisville University gets rated higher in the polls than a 1 loss Michigan, Oklahoma or LSU.

The thing about the mid-majors climbing up makes me crazy too. In the 3rd year of a Texas A&M dynasty I had (didn't post it here) 2 loss Louisville was like 3rd in the final BCS.

One dynasty I have running is in its 23rd season and the top 25 includes: #1 TCU (CUSA), #3 Louisville (CUSA), #5 New Mexico State (Sun Belt), #6 Toledo (MAC), #7 North Texas (Sun Belt), #9 Rutgers (Big East), #15 Fresno State (WAC), #20 Vanderbilt (Now an Independent) and #22 Central Florida (MAC). The only power conference teams still at the top are #2 Oklahoma (Big 12) and #4 NC State (ACC).

Now thats funny...but hey who knows how the NCAA will be in 23 years.....
But I cant remember my first lose but I had one a few days ago in my NIU dynasty losing to Alabama losing 69 - 31 being down 49 - 24 at half. I am used to winning but its nice to lose every now and then to make it realistic

I agree with your statement about losing every now and then. I find games lose their value when you win every single game every year. i actually enjoy when my team losses.

I also cant stand that on my game it is usually Colorado State that seems to pull it off. I have seen them win multiple championships.

Also when a had an old VA Tech dynasty when I first got the game Fresno State made the champ against me and of course were no match, I should have just simmed that game becuase it got very ugly quick.

Next year NCAA 05 better have some Gator teams winning the NC... Also help out those other teams like Mich, and the other ones u guys have named.

Maryland always stays high up in the polls throughout my long dynasties, even when I don't use 'em

Michigan and Florida ALWAYS suck for me. Texas A&M seems strange too. They always get a good recruiting class, start out like #17 or so, and end up with at least 4 losses. Maybe it's cuz they play in a tough conference, but when they're overall A- team, they should win at least 1 season. Florida State seems to go down a lot too.

[BSUBroncofan]

Mine seems to always be Boise State...... Maybe it's because I'm playing with them?

But that does get annoying. The rankings are way too easy for a "mid-major". I'm even a big fan of 'em.

[Gators]

hahaha, In my dynasty Indiana just beat Ohio State to ruin their undefeated season ;D ;D

[bearcat]

I'm in the fifth season of my Purdue dynasty, but I really only have one mid-major that's in my polls - North Texas. But others like Colorado State, Air Force has been in my Top 25 a few times, then in past dynasties I have seen UTEP and New Mexico as well as N. Texas in the polls. But then again, who would have expected Purdue to be in the top 10?

[BSUBroncofan]

And there's a difference bewtween deserving mid-majors that get in every year and ones that stay in the top 5 forever and win National Championships year after year.

I agree with that. I have a dynasty in like 2024 and CSU is always in the hunt. Them and Fresno are always doing good. The others seem to be flash in the pan type of teams. It doesn't matter, none of them can stand up to my Buckeyes.

Unless u play the Buckeyes...it seems to me that any team can lose at any time...cause I have seen a #1 team lose to a very crappy team but not by much.....most of the time is random on the scores when they are simmed (or thats what I think...not quite sure though)
