Decided to finish year one with few updates & wait for year 2 to do weekly updates on the Power4 CFB Revamped Dynasty.

Power 4 Year 1 RECAP

The Irish were able to go undefeated at 16-0 and dominated their way through Big10 & the playoffs. Kyren Williams took home the Heisman trophy as he finished up his college career & is projected 2nd round draft pick. The Irish lost 7 players to the draft & 16 players total. Cam Hart leading INT getter this year for Irish with 10 a new school record & Jarret Patterson Remington award winner were the only 2 underclassmen that declared. Losing key players on both sides of the ball it will be hard for Notre Dame to repeat as champion but with a top 5 recruiting class & promising young talent they figure to still be in the playoff picture.

The Cowboys finished 12-4 but with a SEC championship & finished runner up overall on the year after winning their first two games in the playoff before losing to Notre Dame 7-37 in the finals. The Cowboys lose 20 players 9 of those entering the draft with only 1 being an underclassmen. Oklahoma State loses quite a bit of their dominating D but returning backfield & leading wide receiver hopes are high for back to back trips to the playoffs.

Elsewhere around the league. Kansas State was 13-0 & headed into the playoff as the #1 seed but lost their 1st round game to #8 seed Baylor 28-49 cutting their season short. They will be returning a lot of players so will hope for a similar regular season showing & hope for a better playoff should they make it.

Nevada was the winner of the Pac12 & earned the spot in the playoff but were dominated by Oklahoma State 52-9 so their Cinderella story ended before it even got started. They still got moved up into regular CFP territory & will now compete in the Big10. Boston College was downgraded to the Pac12 after going 0-11 on the year.

Oklahoma & Auburn were first teams left out of the playoffs so they will be on a mission to try & win a few more games next year in order to punch their ticket.

BYU & SMU were also downgraded to the Pac12 after struggling last year.
They were replaced with Virginia Tech & Georgia Tech.

It will be interesting to see who makes the playoffs next year & what teams can fight their way out of the lower tier conferences & increase their playoff chances!
