I love how you incorporated statistics and players too, while also giving headshots of the stadium and jerseys too. Very good video!

The U is my pick because they've never recovered from the loss to Georgia Tech in 2005. Calvin Johnson and Roman Reigns were on Georgia tech at the time.

While I feel you, bro, it’s been 11 years. If Alabama and Buckeyes fans want to do their first run in the game with their favorite team, that seems okay

i like how u gave actual reasons and didn’t just say “they have cool uniforms and would be fun” like everyone else does 😂

Coastal Carolina is the team im gonna rock with, newer team in FBS but with potential. A teal field, beautiful jerseys, a party atmosphere on Myrtle Beach whats not to love? Surprised they werent on this video being in the sun belts east division, games vs JMU and App State gonna be fun!!

This is getting me hype GGB! C'mon now!

I am doing Virginia Tech, always my favorite school as a kid, on a bit of a downturn as of recent. But I remember that team with Tyrod Taylor, Eddie Royal and Josh Morgan, with Cam Chancellor on the other side of the ball. I want to build a team like that. I am also really hoping we hear the cannon firing every time they score (extra points included), that was a jump scare for 11 year old me at the miami game. I was ready for the one for the touchdown, then the Extra point one made me jump through my seat

Great insight as always, GGB! Gonna throw this out there as a cool mid-tier rebuild team: Iowa Hawkeyes. They seem to be that team always on the cusp and get some upsets here and there yet then lose the easy games they should’ve walked. Classic “always the bridesmaid, never the bride” situation. Last won a championship in 1960, and last won the Big Ten in 2004. They’re known for a stellar D, but their offense is notably abysmal - and teams tend to exploit that a lot. Having to potentially play Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and the incoming USC and UCLA sets up a challenging road to get to the top, they have a fun rivalry with Iowa State every year for Floyd of Rosedale, and The Wave has become one of (if not the best) fan traditions in college sports.

Great video. I liked that you touched upon the change in recruiting with the more in depth recruiting markets. For that reason I am looking at ASU in the Big 12. Going to have to start with a team that has low ratings compared to most of the conference but you will have the Phoenix market locally as well as the neighboring California markets and their new pipeline into Texas thanks to their Big 12 membership. They have great uniform combos and solid stadium to play in. I am also looking at Georgia State or Kennesaw State in the Atlanta area for the same reason. Very intrigued to see how the new market recruiting will work so having a team in one of those major markets is a must for me in my first dynasty. Kennesaw State may end up being the most chosen first Dynasty in the game. Georgia State gives a nice alternative option in the Atlanta market. GSU has some decent uniform options and what may be the most interesting stadium in the conference. The Sun Belt is a great starting conference. With GSU I like the idea of moving GSU up into higher conferences and feeling like the name fits in with those school line ups. A team called Georgia State just sounds like they deserve to be higher up.

Great video. Lots of interesting stats and info and a natural delivery. I used to create Kennesaw State in NCAA 14, put em in the Sun Belt, run a Pistol-Option offense, and a 4-2-5 defense. Now, I get to actually use them in Dynasty Mode after 11 years. Can't wait. 🦉

Fear. The. Roo. Every year going back to NCAA 2008, I always start rebuilding Akron, and take it from there. Super excited to run it back!!

I been really enjoying your video ❤ they make me want to restart my dynasty and try new things. ❤ thanks for the video 👍

SMU always my go to growing up in Dallas it was 15 min from my neighborhood

Love your videos man!

Great video I might do like alll of these dynasty’s in college football 25

Josh Flowers was committed to Mississippi state, but after the coaching change, they went in a different direction. He's a good player who is in what I believe a good situation for him.

I’m doing Old Dominion

Haha I thought I recognized you…. As soon as you said Harrisonburg, I was like yea I definitely do. Great content man 👌

Great video complete with suggestions, names, unis and stadiums. For me, I want to rebuild a team that used to be powerful when I was a big fan back in the day. A team like University of Miami, Tennessee, or Nebraska (yes, I'm old). I want a team that can compete on the recruiting front if I can win games on the field.

Going to roll with Florida. Haven’t been good in a few years and have an absolutely brutal schedule. Plus plying in the SEC with Texas and Oklahoma now is gonna he insanely hard

Tbh I feel like a WVU and Marshall rebuild are in order

Of course i'll do my favorite Oregon run as a fan, but your West Virginia pick is pretty good - a challenge and cool uni's

My byu cougars are my first. Amazing stadium backdrop and decent stadium, amazing uniforms, got some young studs, huge brand

Great video

Great video. West Virginia was my favorite team to use with Pat White and steve Slayton

Mannnn we are so close 😫… MNY bout to go crazy.

i doing kennesaw state as their OC and see what happens and then i’ll do a Texas rebuild since theoretically they have all assets and a huge talent pool to be a dynasty

I can't wait to rebuild my Kansas Jayhawks 👌

lol yeah I’ve had UConn in my sights since last month. I want to bring them to true powerhouse as an independent team like Notre Dame

great Vid.

I have MSU and SMU in 2 different leagues. What do you think my chances are to do anything with them

Oregon Statr and Washington State will be my first 2. Just the storyline of finding a new conference and rebuilding in the new era of scouting is gonna be fun.

Can’t wait till rebuild WV gone have fun playing with my brother ! Let’s go day day 🐐

It's either JMU or Houston for me. But then again, that may change in a couple of days 😄!

Great video! I'll add Memphis and App State to my list of teams for Dynasty after I win 5 back-to-back ships with Colorado #ainthardtofind

great video

Living in the Harrisonburg area now but from the Philly area so neat to see JMU and Temple in here

You mentioned the idea of recruiting regions to build pipeline. I'm super intrigued on the strategy there. Can you make a video on this or point us in the direction of a video you've already made? Thx in advance.

boise state is in the same boat as memphis. fight to be the GO5 school in the playoffs then transfer to a P4 conference then rebuild what will likely be a low-mid team in that conference to one of the best and then national champion contender

I’m a Bama fan, so I’ve got to run with them as my first dynasty, but my first rebuild will be the hometown Blazers

These are some really good picks. I’m looking hard to rebuild my Ragin Cajuns!!

Gonna try to create my high school on teambuilder along with some of my teammates, and also try to recruit some of them💪🏽

Leaning ECU personally. Definitely considered choosing a couple you mentioned! Army or navy could be a choice for me as well.

I’m planning on doing an Arkansas State dynasty. I’m probably going to redshirt Flowers & hope I don’t lose him to the portal.

Temple plays at The Linc. Did you find out when playing the game whether you can build stadiums on campus for teams like Temple or Miami that play off campus or in pro stadiums?

Garret Greene literally ranked as the 6th best qb in the nation by PFF’s rating, and PFF apparently has had a hand in rating players for the game.

I think I will be doing Kent State in all honesty. Big time challenge and they lost five starters on the offensive side. Plus, it won’t be fast to likely get really good recruits to turn them around faster. It will likely take time to build them there too.

I’m going to be the OC for Boise State then go to Miami. I want to see the U come back.

FIRE🖤

I don't have sausage fingers!!!.... lol great content welcome back fellow virginian (even though I now live in ohio)... i miss Hampton

San Diego state university is a fun rebuild. You’re competing with the big Cali schools plus you can pull from Texas for pipelines

Lived in va my whole life, so I’ll probably do UVA for my first playthrough but I’m definitely looking at a few other teams too

I've done a dynasty for Hawaii every year since NCAA Football 2004.

GOINH WITH OLD Dominion 🔥🚦🚦🚦🚦

I’m a buckeye fan so first dynasty gotta be them it’s been 11 years I gotta, but after that I’m definitely rebuilding a few schools

I also like the idea of restoring some historically great colleges to their former glory. Schools like Miami Nebraska and Notre Dame. While their rosters will be a lot better than the ones you listed its more about the storytelling. Especially for Notre Dame who will be very good in the game but across the last decade they've been in championship games/playoff appearances but keep coming up short. Or not falling apart in the 2nd half of the season during ACC play with Miami like theyve been doing recently

I’m an OU fan so I’ll definitely establish their place as a top 3 all time program by conquering the SEC, but Nebraska is the most intriguing team to play dynasty mode with to me. They are a traditional blue blood that has been hibernating for 2 decades or more. They have a large, loyal, and rabid fan base every bit as invested in football as any SEC team. They haven’t tasted a national or conference championship in almost thirty years and they are THIRSTY.

another underrated school to rebuild is maryland, they've been nothing crazy for a while now, so it would be fun for them to rise to the top

Picking UGA first because it’s been over a decade since I’ve been able to play with my favorite team in a new college game. Then I’m planning on doing a Kennesaw State and Georgia Southern (Alma mater) dynasty after the first big patch. Like Gundy so I’ll probably do an Ok State dynasty at some point too.

I always start as the offensive coordinator for Ball State. Because as an Indiana native, where else can you go but up?

I’m gonna start with my favorite college which is Notre dame. When I figure out how to recruit and stuff. I’m gonna do an Indiana or UNC rebuild

Being a NJ resident I’m definitely doing my online dynasty with Rutgers.

Can't believe Colorado wasn't on here. That rebuild is intriguing to me.

I would add Georgia Southern University. I used to have to take FCS team back in the day. Now real and in the game with dynamic offense that has left the flex-bone in the past thank goodness. 100 degree days in the stands to watch 3 yards and cloud of dust was tough back in mid 90s

Definitely rebuilding Georgia southern and Kennesaw state

USF is a sleeper this yr with a nice dual threat QB and a couple good transfers plus being in south Florida great pipeline

I'm going to start out as an OC for MTSU since I'm from Tennessee, then hopefully I'll get a HC job at Memphis and then move to the SEC. I have a whole plan lol

I can’t believe nobody has talked about Cal, beautiful stadium, play in the ACC, and some okay uniforms, they haven’t been good in a long time.

Arkansas State was the move, I was in the marching band at UCA when we beat them on their turf a few years back. The fountains are beautiful bro, and other than a close loss to Michigan, I’ve had some of the best games ever. Sunbelt all the way

Michigan fan since birth! I’m playing Michigan only dynasty and road to glory

Im using my love Georgia Bulldawgs, but im going to have a second franchise with another lower level team but im a little disappointed you didn't have SMU or UCF

UTEP!

Im starting two from the jump, gotta do a teambuilder dynasty but I do wanna bring a real program outta the dark

I personally started as an OC with Colorado State then became a HC at Maryland

GoodGameBro what’s a good team name for an OHIO team builder school??? not sure what type of logo/mascot I should go with that would be realistic with the state of Ohio

Let's go. Niner nation! Thats my alma mater, and I was going to rebuild the team. Jerry Richardson Stadium. I figured you would leave CHARLIT number 1 because you live there now.

I'm still still still excited for College Football 25, & I'm still still still probably gonna be saving up some money for that.

I gotta go with my hometown team and being an alumni there, the rockets of Toledo!

Great review) but for me it's about the atmosphere I need that atmosphere in a college stadium + those fans + with those fight songs enchants to keep Me hyped up ... Don't care too much about uniform colors it's about the atmosphere (That NCAA COLLEGE atmosphere) .. THANK YOU EA SPORTS 🏆🏆🏆🏆 IT'S IN THE GAME 🎮🎯

Im new to the cfb games. When we talking about the transfer portal ... will there be some guys who create the real high school guy so that you can import them? Or will they be auto genereted players from EA? Sorry for my english. Im from germany

I gotta win 2 chips with Cuse first…. Then on to a real project school. SDSU might be fun as well. And I’m restoring the PAC 12!

Surprised not to See USF on this list Young QB Up and coming G5 team in the state of Florida is gonna be a fun one

As a Washington fan those JMU uniforms are excellent lol

Thank you.

Low-key might go with Kansas, too good of an opportunity to pass up

My go to is I like to start with Hawai'i, awesome jerseys and colors, cool location, and they're usually pretty bad making for a challenging build. From there I work my way up, spurning all job offers unless/until my favorite team, Alabama, offers me. Which is usually by the time I've won a couple championships with Hawai'i and I know they'll be okay without me. In NCAA 14 I had some epic championship showdowns against my former Hawai'i players as Alabama.

In OFFLINE dynasty, If your team doesn’t make the playoff , can you still play the playoff games or are you forced to sim? NCAA 14 allowed you to play other games on the schedule other than your user controlled team.

What do you feel like a school about SMU. New conference new year?

I'm gonna do a Pitt rebuild first since they love to disappoint me. Otherwise I'm doing an SEC dynasty with my boys

Going to EKU then transferring to them vols 💪🏽

I’m making two dynasty’s off the start. One rebuild and one with my favorite college

If you want a stadium as picturesque as App states, look up Washington Grizzly stadium in Montana. It definitely rivals any for backdrop

I can’t wait to get my UConn Huskies to a relevant spot in football for a change. Build a legend like the basketball programs.

Hey bro I’ll start a dynasty with whoever I want, this is the first college football game in 11 years if someone wants to play with their favorite team then they should you can always play multiple dynasties, that being said I’ll be building Louisville into an all time powerhouse 🤙🏻

mentioning unc in the beginning as a team thats an easy build and putting kansas who’s a b12 favorite in the vid is hilarious, love the vid tho air force is gonna be a powerhouse without recruiting restrictions

Man I miss your jmu series way back when 🥲

I don't think UNC would be that easy of a rebuild they low-key need one. But you're right on there being better teams to rebuild.

Man I’m rebuilding UMASS 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

I did 3 wheel spins… got fab, unlv, Kansas… right now I’m leaning unlv but I night do one more wheel spin when it drops.. but I want to build up and get a job at Arkansas or Iowa and make them a winner that’s my end goal

I think Duke is an underrated option losing their QB and HC last year in a tough confrence.
