Five Toughest NCAA Football 09 Dynasty Jobs

I think it's easier to turn around bad teams in bad conferences quicker then bad teams in good conferences.

If your North Texas you're also playing teams that are not that good, you can end up having a winning record, get recuits in and go to bowl games. If your a team like Vanderbilt, or Baylor you are in a conference with some of the elite teams in the nation and it's hard to build up.

Que? Other then 2005 the year you are refering too, Baylor has bene horrible in Big 12 play. That year they had a shot at a Bowl Game and were pretty much in every game that season except the Texas game (even though they lost to Tech 28-0 it was close until the 4th quarter) So not sure where you're getting they lose three games in a row by like 7.


Baylor, Duke and Vandy are defiantly the three worse BCS programs in College football.

LOL@ me arguing that my team is one of the worst

I'll agree with Duke being #1. It is hard not to get fired unless you are playing all the games.

North Texas is hard? No way. Small schools in California, Texas, Florida, and Ohio are simple to turn into powerhouses. Your recruit pool is so deep that other teams in your conference can't keep up.

Have you ever tried Wyoming or Hawaii?

I hope that someday this gets recoded to better reflect reality. Its gotten better over that last couple years, but I think it should be much,much harder to turn weaker schools into powerhouses even if they are in a talent rich state.

I know you guys don't want to make it too difficult for users to take their scrubby school and make them a juggernaut, but I would like to see a realistic recruiting difficulty level where getting a one star team to a 4 star team would be extremely difficult and quite an accomplishment. Getting that team to a 5 or 6 star prestige, should be almost impossible IMO.

Funny you should mention that, I have done both. I think with prestige, you can get a few decent recruits but you do bring up a great point.

Wyoming sucks recruiting in state as does Hawaii. But all recruiting outside of Hawaii is ultra expensive. I would say both of those jobs are pretty tough just based on the recruiting aspect of things. Wyoming was probably my hardest job ever in NCAA Football next to Temple.
