Systematically over/underpowered teams

If you've played dynasty long enough, you've probably noticed that some schools (consistently) much better or worse than they typically would in real life (I really mean in simmed games). To me, it seems the sim engine favors some playbooks (especially triple option) over others which leads to these differences. Below I'll list some teams that I've noticed to be over/underpowered in my dynasties:

Overpowered:
Army
Georgia Tech
Navy
(Triple Option teams in general)

Underpowered:
Oklahoma
LSU

The way I fixed this in my dynasty is to edit coaches' playbooks. I completely got rid of triple option playbooks because every team that ran triple option was consistently winning 10+ games every year. Oklahoma always did poorly under Bob Stoops with the standard Oklahoma playbook for some reason, so I changed it to a different multiple-style playbook. I did a similar thing with Les Miles after I saw LSU go 9-17 in two years.

Please suggest other teams that are over/underpowered in your guys' dynasties or refute the ones that I've nominated.

Re: Systematically over/underpowered teams

I can't say anything specifically as to the teams you've mentioned as being over- or under-powered, but I do have an important question: do you use custom conferences? I always use customs conference alignment, and I will always move Army and Navy away from being independent. As I prefer geographic conference alignments, this means they tend to end up in facing stronger schedules. I'm curious as to whether the triple-option teams become overpowered because of the way Independents organize their schedules.

Re: Systematically over/underpowered teams

I too have noticed that the triple option teams seem to do really well. For example I have 2 dynasties going right now and in both Georgia Tech and Navy are top 10 teams.

NCAA 14 has Oklahoma being a constant letdown, year in and year out. This seems very realistic to me ~.^

Re: Systematically over/underpowered teams

In one of my dynasties, Ga Tech is 4-3, but he uses custom conferences. But in another one of my dynasties, Army is 2-3, however Ga Tech and Navy both have 1 loss. I guess I just proved your point haha

Basically every SEC team has been a let down for me.

Re: Systematically over/underpowered teams

In mine Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, and Oregon have been pretty bad for the most part.
