Top Five NCAA Football 12 (Re)Building Projects

02:30 PM - October 20, 2011 by RaychelSnr

Although it can be fun to start a dynasty with a powerhouse program and try to maintain their dominance, it’s also satisfying to take a lower-level team and build them into a national contender.

I’ve chosen some two- and three-star programs that I think are well suited for a rebuilding project. This list includes three major conference programs that have seen better days, as well as two mid-majors on the rise. The player names in this article are based on Fairdale Kings’ rosters, with no edits made to the player ratings. I’ve also included each player’s number and overall rating in case you’re not playing with named rosters.

Great idea for a article. I'm using Vandy, in my second season. It's such a struggle in the SEC but a lot of my conference games have been close. I went 2-10 in my first season (SEC ELites Heisman Sliders) I recruited a decent class. I was very disappointed in my 4 star HB's eventual rating. I'm trying to red shirt guys I dont need to buy them that extra year of progression.

So far in year 2 I'm 2-3 with very near upsets to #3 Alabama and at Ole Miss. I need that one big win! Either way, I'm loving this dynasty and hoping to get things going with a close to 500 year. My offense will need a rebuild next year as a freshman qb (Gray) and new RBs will have to take over. My prestige took a big hit and went down to 1 * so it's going to continue to be a challenge

Baylor....

Indiana is another school to consider. I'm using them right now and am off to a 3-3 start.

Baylor is also a good Rebuilding Project as someone once stated, great QB, start from there.

Other good choices are Washington State University, and Purdue.

Just Started one with my Huskers gonna try and get them over the hump...when I first got the game I used TCU and turned them into hell on wheels

I had a GREAT time with Duke in NCAA Football 11. In 12, I've been running a Rutgers offline dynasty, and my other one which attempts to bring The U back to their powerhouse ways in the 80s.

What about Colorado? That is a team that has fallen off a cliff.

# 8 badflounder @ 10/21/11 01:43 AM

Indeed. My Buffs are at a low point right now but they'll be back around the Top 25 in a couple years now that they are re-recruiting Cali (especially LA) like they did in the McCartney era. They are a great candidate for this article!

I always start with SMU. This year it only took me 3 years to bring home a national championship (after moving to the big east). Shortest amount of time it has taken in years.

yup same here, like the past ncaa games im bringing back SMU, the days of the pony express shall return!!!!

, not to mention the unis are as sick as any in college football imo.

# 11 beerdujour @ 10/21/11 12:30 PM

I like the Vandy selection, I usually pretend they took some of the family money and "helped" bring-in some better talent, cool background to the stadium, also good mascot and unis...always a fierce battle week to week in the SEC!

# 12 KingV2k3 @ 10/21/11 12:33 PM

I had a blast with SMU and UCLA in NCAA11...

This year I went with Freshman QBs, so I can play their entire 4 year career...

LA Tech (Isham @ QB) has been a lot of fun...

The WAC is an 8 team conference until after season one, when 3 teams leave for the MW, so you can either rebuild the conference or move the team...

I decided to move a few teams over (to take the departing teams place) and then will probably move LA Tech to C-USA to replace teams that are rumored to be moving to the Big East...

Lots of variety in opponents a fun offence (Air Raid) and two solid states to recruit from, LA and TX...

I love there uniforms for some reason, and I also love bringing back the Pony Express with the spread option ha...last dynasty I had with them I lead the NCAA is rushing for 4 years as the OC, lost 2 BCS bowls though because of the Def...

I have Pitt, trying to return them to their Tony Dorsett days of glory.

2011 went 10-2 losing to USF(Big East Champs) and Utah in a heartbreaker, led the entire game and missed 2 FGs to ice the game only to watch Utah march down the field and score with less than 10 seconds on the clock. went to the champs bowl against Florida State, won big finished #25

2012 started the season #25 - I'm 5-3 again losing to USF ranked #23 thanks to big wins over ranked teams.

tough rebuilding job because I lost way too much on Defense, I can score but I can't stop a good team on defense.

So sad to see UCLA top this list, and in reality Slick Rick has decimated a once great program even more than when he got the broken team first handed to his arthritic clutches. And that's why S.D. State is a very fun program to build up in this game. As you win more, you'll fill up an NFL stadium as you play all home games in Qualcomm, plus please schedule and easily brutalize the Bruins (as much as it hurts my heart to write...) and then schedule the Trojans. If you can shock the crowd at the Coliseum then recruiting opens up for you to the finest starred athletes in all of Cali. Soon enough, Pete Carroll will recognize and envy what you've built, a football empire by the beach.

In year 1 of SJSU dynasty as OFF Coordinator. Looking forward to using Tate Forcier next year. He'll be an upgrade over my current QB. Once Forcier graduates, I'll look to change teams.

# 17 IJay21 @ 10/23/11 09:55 PM

Im playing with SMU. I'm currently in 2015 and moved the team to the SEC West. Ive won two national titles since playing with them. I had a feeling the SMU would be on this list,lol.

# 18 redhawka10 @ 10/24/11 10:55 PM

I always rebuild my Kentucky Wildcats

# 19 terpsfan1978 @ 10/25/11 01:34 AM

I play heisman default sliders. patch 3.

I've taken the worst team rating wise in the game, Akron, and took them to the orange bowl win their second year. First year I won the godaddy bowl...lol. 2 loss season first year, 1 loss the second.

Nevertheless, you would think if you won an orange bowl, your school prestige would move up more than 1 star. Currently at 3. I think that's dumb.

Florida Atlantic University.
