Im doing a Virginia Tech dynasty as well. 9-4 in year 1, 12-2 with an Orange Bowl win in year 2. Now in year 3, we're 7-0 & ranked #2 in the country. Heading to Clemson for the next game.
Does anyone follow the dynasties on the dynasty pages here?

I am starting to now that this thread has become a cluster phuck. Congrats on the 7-0 season so far. My first season I went 14-0, but somehow got jipped out of the national title game

Thanks. Unfortunately, we just lost 23-20 @ Clemson. Still have a shot to win the ACC coastal & go to the ACC champ. gm if we win @ BC and @ Miami(currently 7-0 ranked #1). Logan Thomas is 20-3 in his 2 years as a starter after Tyrod Taylor graduated. Did you not use him at QB?

Hey guys, I'm back with another update. Heres a quick rundown of how my Dynasty has been going.

Summary:

I am in my third year as coach of the University of Florida Gators, I have a career record of 26-6 and have gone 6-4 against top 25 squads. I won an SEC Championship in my first two years, but more on that later. I have lost two BCS Bowl games, neither one was very close. Thus far, I am 7-3 against Rivals.

2010:

A really tough year where I couldn't find my identity. I would go from Brantley to Reed, back to to Brantley and eventually began to use a Duel QB system that never really flourished. An opportunity to get to the SEC championship game came against a young USCe squad. Just barely making out of the swamp alive, I had #2 Auburn to deal with in the SEC Championship where a +2 turnover differential helped me take my first SEC Championship back to Gainesville. A 17-6 loss of TCU sealed my season, ending up with a mediocre record of

10-4

2011:

With a stalwart defense coming back (9 starters), I knew I had a good shot at a repeat. Recruiting was OK in my first year grabbing a top 15 Recruiting class with a Duel Threat QB (Driskel) who was sure to take the starting job in a couple of years. I moved the offense to a standard one-back, ditching the spread in favor of Brantley's QB style. Big wins included Auburn (27-7), FSU (27-14), and Alabama (16-13) in the SEC Championship game. Two losses came from WVU (38-28) in a BCS Bowl game, and a regular season loss to Alabama (21-13)

12-2

2012:

After grabbing the #2 Recruiting class, I found myself with a wealth of talent but not a whole lot of places to put it. I switched back over to a more spread type of offense, my best player being my RB Gilislee on the Offensive side of the ball and my CB Brown on the defensive side of the ball. Thinking this finally my year to go after a National Title, I barely sneak out a win over Pitt in the Swamp (16-14) and quickly lose another game after to Tennessee (24-21) while rebounding with a close victory over Kentucky (27-24). There will be changes in my offense coming soon. I'm just not sure what yet.

3-1

Just wanna share a story about an interesting player I inherited. After toiling at Rochesterton Agricultural and Technical (my teambuilder team) for about a decade and having no luck getting them from the MAC to a BCS conference, I left for the greener pastures of Michigan. I show up there not really sure what I was getting myself into. The defense was rock solid and the punter/kicker was the best I'd ever coached, but the offense was bit of a problem. The offense was built around a solid offensive line, but the skill position players left a lot to be desired. The QB situation in particular was troublesome. I had two candidates for my starting QB: a noodle armed senior who had some functional accuracy or a severely untalented passer who had WR speed that might have some promise in an option type of offense. I chose the latter QB, but because of injuries they basically split time evenly. They didn't even throw two hundred passes. We ran the ball, played good defense, and played the best special teams possible and somehow won the national title.

Anyway, fast forward two years and I've actually got a legitimate starting QB that I brought in myself. He started from day one and I let that old scrambler be his backup. Despite this guy withering away on the bench, he progresses fairly well and ends up being one of my fastest offensive players. So the offseason rolls around and I've got too much depth at QB, so I say "Screw it, I'm putting this guy at WR." He's good enough to be fourth on the depth chart and I even let him be my return man. This guy wasn't my recruit. He was just a holdover from Rich Rod's failed regime, but with a bit of creativity, I got production out of this guy. Moral of the story is that you gotta adapt.
