14-0. The Virginia Tech Hokies rode a wave of talent, and coaching skill, to the first undefeated record in 3 seasons capturing the ACC and National Titles in the process. The rest of the ACC will look to close the gap this season as all the remaining coaches have a roster built of their own recruits. FSU managed to hang onto the Atlantic, but not before being challenged by both NCSU and BC who are going to look to take that next step in season 4. The Coastal is a bit murkier, UNC was lucky enough to earn a rematch for the National Title, and Miami took a small step back losing 3 games while UVA stormed into the top 10 with a 2 loss season and an upset of then #2 Miami. Is this the year that the status quo changes? Will someone other than VT & FSU play for the ACC Title? With lots of turnover and some lost coaches as KG would say....ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Coastal Division Preview Georgia Tech - The #1 rushing attack in the country was good for an 8-5 record as that ground game came up short in some close games. The lack of a passing game will probably need to be improved upon to challenge for the division. They do have a quality coach at the helm even if he is handicapped by a lack of short and long term in game memory (SAD SAD COACHING POINTS QUANDRY). Turn a few of those close games into Ws, and a top 10 ranking at seasons end won't be out of reach. Miami - A bit of a down year with 3 ACC losses putting them 3rd in the division, however their talent was undeniable as they collected the most individual awards and landed the 2nd most All Americans by seasons end. Although some technical difficulties may hamper them again this season (COACH XP GRRR), the Canes may finally be in position to take the Coastal from the Hokies as they retained a lot of their offensive talent. North Carolina - Although their coach found himself in Italy the Tar Heels still managed another top 10 season and were very close to taking the division from the Hokies, but were unable to get it done last year. Offensive minded with a flying D, UNC is poised to make both an ACC and National Title run after managing to slide into the NCG last season. Pittsburgh - ABANDONED AND UNLOVED THEIR COACH WAS FIRED. South Carolina - Coach Big D McGee was only interested in coaching user games and it cost him his job. But hopefully his reincarnation will return to lead the Gamecocks out of the cellar. Virginia - Making magic out of poo poo is what I'd say happened at UVA last season, all that Mike London recruited talent finally produced at Top 10 season and managed to throw a wrench into the Coastal race with an upset of Miami. They lose their star QB, but will look to take some dangerous offensive weapons and score their way to the ACC title game. A darkhorse for it given their talent differential, but they managed some magic last season. Virginia Tech - No one was even close to the Hokies all season long, averaging 11 ppg surrendered the back to back #1 defense in the country headlined the meat grinder that was the Hokies. This may not be the case this season as much of the front 7 has graduated, and it may require some more scoring from an already dangerous offense. With a deep receiving corp, stud HB Edmunds and a dynamic QB, the only thing holding them back may be the Oline. Can the Hokies retain their best of the ACC status, or will one of their rivals finally down them? Atlantic Division Preview Boston College - BC exploded into the top 10 only to stumble as they met their stronger competition in the 2nd half of the season. The Eagles proved they aren't to be taken lightly anymore and should be a factor in the ACC Title race. Clemson - Come back Capn...they're like the Lost Boys without Pan. Talented, but not very troublesome. Florida State - A return to form for FSU last season saw them rocket to #2 and with a chance to upset #1 VT as they did in season one, but it wasn't meant to be and FSU had to settle for only being a top 10 team with the Atlantic title. As long as Winston is their QB, FSU will be a dangerous team, and they've had good recruiting classes up to last season so they should be in position to fight for the Atlantic again. Louisville - The Empty Throne of Bobby Petrino's Motorcycle NC State - Another step forward for the Wolfpack a final ranking of #3, and a few very close losses away from claiming the Atlantic title. Their dynamic QB returns for a soph campaign with his eyes set on reaching the ACC Title game for the first time in his coach's tenure. NCSU should be considered a front runner along with FSU for the winner of this division. Syracuse - DUMPSTER FIRE OF THE FROZEN NORTH Wake Forest - Back into your bag of lovely tricks with you Demon Deacon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those that may be new to the dynasty here are some things you should know about how I run this ship. 1)I am a considerate commish provided you post and stay in touch with the dynasty through the thread (when it concerns player games) or contacting me in AIM/PM. If there are scheduling problems, provided I am aware of them I will work with y'all to get games played. 2)I am a cruel and powerful commish, I move this thing along when I say I plan to especially as it concerns CPU games. I will often set a deadline and players need to get their games in. I don't wait on people with CPU games unless there is the aforementioned communication about a situation. 3)We don't play FCS teams in this league. We prefer mid major meats around these parts. 4)It's a good time in here, trash talk is fine and we will all have fun with the thread. 5)I will listen to suggestions about improving the game play of the dynasty, but the decision to implement anything is ultimately mine. 6)I don't care about CPU games; they are for getting bowl eligible and pointless stat padding. I won't be upset about a reset or two along the way. That said don't restart a half dozen times because someone got injured. If you got problems all I gots to say is  ---------------------------------------------- Teams by Division Coastal Georgia Tech - cletus42o GT cletus42o Miami - John Brown GT True Cryme North Carolina - slywalker13 GT Slywalker13 Pittsburgh - OPEN South Carolina - OPEN Virginia - After Father GT BJTheRealist Virginia Tech - Zsbaug24 GT JDMTyte Atlantic Boston College - Texas A Wrecksus GT QuickDrawQuincy Clemson - Lil Jon Galt GT Kancho  Florida State - The Piper GT the nasty niss Louisville - OPEN NC State - Dioedeus GT BenedictWong Syracuse - OPEN Wake Forest - OPEN Coaches who can claim a team: MAkev GT makev7, marioinblack GT TB Rays 23 Wait List: Wait list will work as follows; when a person drops out the first person on the wait list will get a PM and have 24 hrs to respond about taking the spot. If I get no response it's onto the next person. Difficulty - All American; Adjusted Penalty Sliders; Recruiting is at Varisty Quarters - 6 minutes No QB Quiz, Ice the Kicker is On, Home Field Advantage is on. No Recruiting boosters. Basically I'm going to ask that everyone not play like an rear end in a top hat. I want to see good sportsmanship and that people play the game like real football within bounds. The game is trying to tailor it so you should be encouraged to do so, but lets actually try and care. I may make adjustments as the game goes along.

Slywalker13 posted:I haven't done my stuff yet but that's all my fault so I vote for a 90 minutes delay. But don't mind too much. It really doesn't matter if this dynasty isn't making it at least one more season. What's the verdict on that? I hope it goes forever Forever and ever, until EA kills the servers this ACC dynasty will run. It's also week 1, no user games to my knowledge the first 2 weeks. This team is solid, but I will lose regular season games this year. The defense isn't up to par to maintain its #1 OVR position.

VT over FSU 35-3. FSU didn't try much in the 2nd half. These Hokies are still drat dangerous, my run may yet continue. There are a few things I don't get about your play style; why always run 4-3 personnel against any set? And why don't you use more option plays like you did in the first season, Winston can move. I know my VT team is kinda disheartening, but you might have tried passing it all of 10 times when my pass rush wasn't nearly as destructive as last season. AF if you can manage to play your game against AP'd BC we could advance tonight. The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Aug 4, 2014 |

Texas A. Wreckus posted:BC beats rival (?) UMass 41-9. Apparently when you pick a ball off in the end zone now, its a safety for the other team. Who Knew?!?! Technically if you tried to return it and then went back into the end zone it would be a safety. I'm guessing more likely EA had a glitchy bug that hosed up and caused that.

Hokies receive stiff competition from the Gamecocks with a 21 all game at the half, but managed to pull out a 21 pt lead in the 3rd quarter to put the game away. 42-21, bad passing day, but I didn't need to throw the ball that much given how my running game was eating up yards. Advanced. NCSU vs Miami BC vs UNC Still can't get no TE's but I got 5 commits after last week so hell yeah for that, DLINE WHAT UP.

Gonna play JB in the SEC then we can knock our games out in whatever order. I've had a good run with 14 to be sure.

All things come to an end  Should have won by 2 scores, but got held to 2 FGs, and this defense just isn't as suffocating without the fully filled DC tree. Still could win the Coastal and the ACC, if not it was bound to happen sometime. My home winning streak still lives, so have fun coming to the Terrordome.
