I started a dynasty with Montana and replaced Temple in the D-1 Independents. I went 13-0 the first year and didn't even receive any Top 25 votes LOL! Of course the only good opponents I played were Notre Dame, Illinois, and Stanford. The rest were bottom feeders. After the season was over I got like 7 transfers that were all rated 80 or above, and my recruiting class was in the top 30. Now I'm going to see if I can break into the Top 25 with a preseason ranking of #35.
Do any of you just pick horrible teams and try to build them up? It's really more fun to me than playing with a power house. I have to configure the depth charts and find ways to win.
