There will be many articles from us during this next month and a half about all things dynasty mode. Folks on the forums have already put together a spot where you can get advice on which dynasty team to choose. But when it comes to the top 10 rebuilds in EA Sports College Football 25, we also have a spot for that now.
OS user thescoop put together their initial list and broke it out into Power 5 and non-Power 5 options. I’m going to put that list together in full here below as a good starting point for folks. We have others in the thread who have shared their lists as well.
Power 5 Options
10. Miami: Every year we’re told “the U is back” only to see them phase out. Maybe you can return the glory.
9. Arkansas: Program has been a train wreak for years. It could be fun to take them and make them an SEC power.
8. Duke: Duke is a basketball school. Maybe you’re the coach that changes that.
7. SMU: The team that received the death penalty finally comes back to national prominence. And having Texas to recruit would be fun. Joining the ACC this year puts them back in a power conference too.
6. Cal: Cal hasn’t been relevant in a long time. Bring them back. First year in the ACC will be a good place to start.
5. Stanford: 3 straight 3-9 seasons means they are a terrible squad. It wasn’t long ago they were a good team. And joining the ACC this year means you’ve got a fresh start.
4. Vanderbilt: Vandy has never been good in football. But you could help change that.
3. Georgia Tech: This program hasn’t won a title since ’90. And they have been an afterthought for years.
2. Nebraska: Once proud program has been an afterthought. Can you be the one to bring them back?
1. Colorado: I see them on the way and won’t be as hard before the Coach Prime era started last season. They have a great uniform set too. Colorado is going to be a lot of teams top picks.
The Non-Power 5 Options
10. Tulane: They’ve never been a power but are on an upswing. Can you get them there and maybe even get them back to the SEC where they started?
9. Memphis: Another program on a bit of an upswing. Maybe you can get them moving and into a better conference.
8. Liberty: A newer one on the scene but one that has brought a lot of attention. Keep them moving in the right direction.
7. Boise State: Was moving up but while still good not moving like they once were. And they have the cool blue turf.
6. JMU: A rising program that could be a lot of fun to take the keys to the program and keep them growing.
5. Colorado State: Can you steal some thunder from Coach Prime in his state? Could be a fun one to run with.
4. East Carolina: This program was once on the rise. Could be fun to get them going again. And another great uniform set.
3. Rice: Another Texas school that would be fun to rebuild. AAC conference has some fun teams.
2. Toledo: Taking an Ohio team and trying to build them in THE Ohio State’s backyard could be fun. Could also make a case for Akron, Ohio, Bowling Green for the same reasons.
1. Southern Miss: Southern Miss once had an 18-straight winning season streak. They snapped it by going 0-12. They’ve not been relevant since. They once dominated teams like Memphis and Tulane that have left them behind. Bringing them back would be fun. And I’m a Southern Miss alumni so of course they’re my number one.
