What Really Killed NCAA Football? The Lawsuit or the Lack of a Playoff?

Apparently there is a work around to get it to include the stats and record.

Pocketscout, Thanks for your work on this, and I've been following your video dynasty also. I have found a way to successfully save the stats from the semi-finals, where at years end, the records and stats (including the semifinals) are properly saved. I've done it 4 times now in my own offline dynasty using this method... 1. Set up semifinal matchups in lower bowls, as directed. In order to make "room" for the championship game participants, two teams lose their bowl bids. Here's a theoretical example with the computer determining these matchups... Rose Bowl: #8 Oregon vs #4 Ohio State Sugar Bowl: #3 Florida vs #5 Oklahoma Natl Championship: #1 USC vs #2 Clemson Chick-Fil-A Bowl (I modded this to be Sun Belt #4 vs MAC #5 to create a bowl with two teams to be eliminated): Akron vs Troy 2. As described above, Troy and Akron will eventually lose their bowl bids. Using the same established procedures to mod the matchups, set up the following: Rose Bowl (semifinal): #1 USC vs #4 Ohio State Sugar Bowl (semifinal): #2 Clemson vs #3 Florida Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Oklahoma vs Oregon Natl Championship: Akron vs Troy (bare with me here) 3. Play or super sim (from my experience, simming in the menu with a modified matchup doesn't work) each of the new games, except the Natl Championship. Save dynasty file and go back into Editor. Let's say #3 Florida and #1 USC win. 4. In the Rose Bowl, swap USC with Akron. In the Sugar Bowl, swap Florida with Troy. Now put USC and Florida in the Natl Championship instead of Akron and Troy. Leave everything else alone. 5. Play the NC game and sim into the End of Season (before simming to Coaching Carousel). Save file and open in Editor. 6. Replace Akron and Troy with USC and Florida in the Rose and Sugar bowls, respectively. When you open the file in the game, all records, individual and team stats are accurate, to the best of my knowledge.

In general I do agree that this seems to be a ton of work.
