I think I missed it when I first responded that you started with another version of the game, and then transitioned to 2014. That's even more impressive. I have been doing dynasty (originally Madden) reports since around 1998, on a board that was called Thnking Man's Guide to Madden. I remember that the guy who created the site was called TAFKAC (the artist formerly known as Craig) and I have no idea if we invented this or if it was just started by multiple people in their own ways all over the internet. As soon as there was a playable dynasty mode in a college game (whenever that was) I was playing with it. All that to say: Major, major respect for being a true NCAA head.
That FSU game was tough, especially losing with a last second pick. As you mentioned, it's tough to win games like the SDSU game, however, the scoop and score can turn around quite a bit... Score, momentum, everything - Nice.
Have to say, the WS uniforms are pretty cool looking (watched the Penn State game on YT). Your defense eventually got a handle on them and forced those three important punts which surprised me. Like a lot of CPU teams they just sort of struggled to remain competent lol. I didn't think that the video production was bad at all, and everybody hates their voice, trust me, it's fine. I'm the one that really has the crap voice.
I subbed and My only suggestion/request is to show the other team's players stats.
Thorough beatdown against Northwestern, not much more to say. Keep it up! Freaking OSU... always looming.

Glad to see you are following along! Yeah, I started with NCAA 10, and created the team in team builder every year through NCAA 14 (which I finally got very late). This thing has taken multiple years off over the last decade, but it’s still up and running. You definitely started reporting before me - I believe my first reports were on a website called dynasty central - it was not a forum, but rather each dynasty had its own page with some predefined templates you could fill in. This was before the days where anyone off the street could make great looking graphics. This would have been maybe around 2003 when I was in middle or high school.
I tried to go with a clean classic look when I first created the uniforms, and they’ve stayed basically the same throughout the different iterations. I think on one version we had a black alt, but I decided to scrap it and go with a red alt instead. Really wish teambuilder had allowed more uniform options. I think an all black with a black helmet would have looked cool, but not cool enough to replace my all blue look.
And yeah, this has been an interesting season so far. The defense has certainly come up big in certain spots, like the scoop and score. And you’re right - even against Penn State we did get a few key stops, but the offense couldn’t get out of its own way.
Thanks for the suggestion on the opposing stats - will start showing those in the post game.
I’m pretty nervous about the Ohio State game. In the more recent years of this dynasty, I’ve never felt like there was a team we couldn’t hang with, but this years team just doesn’t feel quite up to par with some recent editions - I guess we will see. Burrow being out can only help, although Haskins is no slouch.
