With the sound of a beating drum, the Trojans rode in on their mounts and trampled nearly every foe in their path. Led by a mere demi-god at WR, USC has staked its claim as the cream of the crop of college football. The retention of a QB-guru at HC indicates there is no doubt that the coliseum of Southern California will be sunny as ever. But as well all know, with great power comes great responsibility, and their are many a gladiators who dare march upon the gates of the Empire. Who will rise and defeat Marquis Lee, the greatest son of Troy yet? B1G Season 3 "The Sack of Troy" B1G East Division Preview USC - Champions of the PAC 12 and the Rose Bowl; the USC Trojans have ventured into uncharted grounds of any California team, and entered the B1G seeking to expand the reach of their kingdom. Riding high off of insane recruiting that once again has them under investigation by the NCAA, USC will ensure that its legacy endures the sands of time. Many would argue they are the team to beat (both on and off the field) for the next season. Ohio State - THE Ohio State Buckeyes have officially returned to form since the dismissal of Jim Tressel. With the Nick Saban of the B1G at HC, and one of the most desirable destinations in college football, expect OSU to be perennial contenders not just for the B1G, but for the BCSNC as well. Penn State - A lack of strong recruiting and loses to key contenders have led to the Nittany Lions to an unranked season. Although the dark cloud of sexual assaults and straight up creepiness no longer lingers of the organizations, the one of mediocrity has been full season. Look for Penn St. to emerge as one of the bright spots of the B1G West. UCLA - Following the steps of Big Brother, the Bruins also packed their bags (hypothetically) and headed on over to the B1G. Looking for better competition, and football royalty of CA, UCLA and HC Paul Wall plan to be sittin' sidewayz on the iron throne of college football at seasons' end. B1G West Division Preview Michigan - Much like its counterpart in tOSU, Michigan has garnered some of its past greatness through good recruiting and pulling a few key victories. Big Blue will be in the mix as the B1G champion, but they'll need to make sure to put lil bro (Michigan St.) in their place during their next matchup. Michigan State - Talk about the underdogs of the NCAA, the Spartans have finally turned things around with unbelievable upsets over Nebraska and tOSU. Although falling short in the Rose Bowl didn't merit a visit from Rich Homie Quan this year, the win over in-state rival Michigan still has Big Blue feelin' some type of way. Expect Michigan St. to stick around until the B1G reaches its inevitable fate of closure. Nebraska - With what can only be described as the biggest disappointment of last year, Nebraska luckily snuck into the top 10 with a few breezy wins over coach-less squads. However, a deep roster and a great off-season of training has some people(okay one person) believing they could finally live up to expectations this season. Northwestern - The future is very brim for NU as recruiting has plagued their HC during his entire tenure there. Is time running out for the cats, or can Gary Barnett make one last hoorah for a conference title, and national championship? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now before we get into the particulars regarding conferences, let me lay down some ground rules: 1) I will be the first truly cruel commissioner of this era. There's not an actual timetable that I have in mind, because I am human and realize that every situation isn't always the same. However, if you have a CPU game I expect that poo poo to be played by no longer than 72hrs(excluding extraordinary circumstances of course). I don't care if you sim plays to see that it's done. The rate at which we advance will be very arbitrary and to my preference. 2) Please communicate in the thread on a regular basis. It takes but a minute to post about your schedule or any problems you're having in the dynasty. 3) Don't play like a jerk: nano blitzes, 24/7 no-huddle, putting speed WRs at TE(w/o officially changing his position), or in memory of my dear friend Bio - changing a CB to QB, ya know, poo poo like that. I'm not gonna get more specific then that so use your brain. If you have to think twice about it then you probably shouldn't do it in the first place. 4) You can reset CPU games as much as necessary to get the win. Please, no rage quitting against other users, and let's not destroy a user team that isn't available to play for that week. Just do enough to get the win. CONFERENCE SETUP We will be using schools from both the BigTen and Pac12 conferences, but consolidating them all under the B1G due to loss of players. This means that anyone joining after the season has started will have to choose a B1G team this season, but can switch to a PAC team(if desired) during the next off-season. Looks like we're to the Wild West as everyone will be shooting for a spot in the B1G CG, and possibly the Rose Bowl. BigTen West Michigan State - Diodeous, GT: BenedictWong Iowa Nebraska - John Brown, GT: True Cryme Minnesota Michigan - cletus42o, GT: cletus42o Northwestern - The Piper, GT: the nasty niss East Ohio State - Notorious ZSB, GT: JDMTyte Wisconsin - Dubious, GT: Dubious28SS Penn State - Texas A.

Dynasty Name: SASBigTenPac12 Password: Goonball4eva In short, don't be a dick and pay attention to the thread you bastards. So without further ado, let's get to it!

UCLA over Texas A&M 42-17. Johnny Football - Sacked 6 times and turned it over Twice... He should have thrown for more picks but I had a few Ball Hawk Fails. Didnt have to do much on offense but run the ball as they could not stop it.

Dubious posted:You know what, I'm gonna buy this since the PS3 dynasty is way dead, and be terrible since I'm not used to 360 controls at all. Welcome! Wisconsin is going to be your best bet. They got a good roster but you'll need to recruit really good for the next season or two. Had you just so happen to post a couple of days ago I would've moved Stanford over for ya  We also have leagues for the ACC and SEC. The ACC is the cornerstone of our leagues and would likely last the longest (let's be honest). Judging from the rosters your best choice would be Pitt, or begging ZSB to release his grasp of Clemson - we've been holding out hope for the return of The Great One (Kancho). http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3652637&perpage=40 We just rebooted the SEC league and chose updated rosters to their current state irl. They're a bit a lower than expected but it may actually make the game more interesting. Teams that are open are Auburn, Miss St, Ole Miss, Mizzou. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3652899&perpage=40 Slywalker13 posted:So much potential and now with the thread title and OP, I am destined to implode which will be particularly embarrassing given the state of my team. You'll be fine lol. I really didn't know what to write about until I noticed your were #1, and won what is the likely the most relevant game of last season. It also helped that I had just watched a couple of clips of Troy during lunch yesterday. John Brown fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Jul 31, 2014 |

Plenty of room in the ACC mang, I will release Clemson when CPU coach is fired, but until then we have at least 1 decent team left to play with (South Carolina I think). In this league I'd say run with Wisconsin or Iowa.

USCe in the ACC is taken by AfterFather iirc. That leaves Louisville, Pitt, Wake, and some other scrub. I'd go with Pitt of all those teams.

Funny that for my game I was robbed of 14 points by trying to hit PS buttons instead of the wide open reads I had, and threw two 100 yard pick sixes hitting the wrong button. This will be fun to learn new muscle memory when I actually pass. NCAA is a run game friend.

There were 10 total recruits that had me 1st that I put on my board and offered scholarships to. 5 of those 10 were insta-commits. 2 of the insta-commits were 5* (out of 4 total 5* of the 10). GO BLUE This is really the first time in an online dynasty that I've gotten all the recruiting skills maxed out, so insta-commit is a new treat for me.

I'm getting mine in now after a video chat with the family. Sorry for all the restarts, I've only got one cpu game to figure out which defensive scheme I like and now I disconnected midgame from Xbox live so we'll see if I have another go.

USC r2a. Looks like it saved the game despite dropping Xbox live midgame. Sorry for all the restarts, those were on the first drive or two trying to find a scheme I liked. I wasn't Stat scumming. That being said... Marquis is a joke. His catching attributes are insane such that he has become my check down guy if I'm getting blitzed bad. That needs to stop as it won't last during user games when it'll result in an INT.

Well it was fun while it lasted. NU trounced USC 35-21. Couldn't run the ball at all which I guess made me easy to defend? Well called game, both on O and D. Was not expecting this game to be the first one you finally get over me.

I just beat a 99 OVR team with a 88 OVR team... Go me. GG Sly. I started shifting my safeties over to Lee's side of the field and the big plays stopped. Sly's first two drives ended in a 55 yard Lee TD and a 75 yard Lee TD. Once I started keying on Lee I was able to get a 2 score lead that I was able to hold onto. And poo poo... The game didn't register. My xbox froze when it went final. It was NU 35 USC 21. I'm gonna struggle to beat CPU USC now.
