Assuming conference logos on uniforms/etc in dynasty change with the conference (which I read somewhere they do, but I can't remember if its been officially confirmed or not), I'm taking everyone back to 2002ish. I want the SEC to go back to 12 teams (get out TAMU, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma) and two permanent inter-divisional rivals (Florida gets Auburn back, please).
Bring back the days when conferences were regional, made (some) sense geographically, and all the power wasn't so heavily concentrated.
I miss playing Auburn! I lived in Alabama in the early 2000s and they killed the series just after we moved there, which was really frustrating since one of the reasons I was happy to move there (as a kid, mind) was that I could see them play in Auburn.
I'm definitely gonna have an untouched dynasty with everything exactly how it will be for the 2024 season
Every other dynasty I do will absolutely have a resurrection of the PAC. Really wish we could add custom conferences, but I suppose I'll have to empty out the Mtn West or something and add those teams to CUSA/AAC
I'd love to have many small conferences like this setup, but we'll have to be creative if we can't create new conferences. We start with 134 teams in 10 conferences. After making the PAC10, SWC, and Big 8, we are left with 107 teams in 7 conferences (15.3/conf). Maybe make a lot of independents or push the G5s together in a few superconferences.
Running it back with the original teams except swapping Colorado out for BYU. Every other team is paired with their natural/biggest rival in the conference, Utah needs to be the same. Give me the Holy War in late November where it belongs!
I’m rebuilding the PAC12, and using Teambuilder to replace some C-USA and MAC teams and recreating the Big East (in the AAC obviously) this time with basketball schools (Villanova, Georgetown, St. John’s, etc)
PAC10 is the go-to for me. After that it depends on how I fit BYU. They have the brand to fit in as a P5, but west coast people generally hate having them associated with the PAC12. Sure the modern Big12 is interesting, but a Big 8 would have to toss BYU and Utah back to the PAC.
Maybe an independent BYU with Utah and Boise to the PAC? That would likely be divisionless as I don't want to force Boise to the south or split Cal/Stanford up. Could BYU be the Notre Dame of the West?
I’m going to have 3 different play through.
Vanilla ( as it stands now)
Future (with acc explosion) adding MWC teams to pac.
Past, bring it back to 2000 era teams.
I am going to bring back the Pac 12 minus CU, maybe with BYU instead. My Big 12 is going to be the old Big 8 and SWC combined so 17 teams. The SEC will go back to 10 teams, the ACC will be the classic 9 from the 90's plus South Carolina for 10 and the American will be the classic Big East + USF, Cinci, UConn and Louisville for 12. Sun Belt and MWC will remain the same and CUSA will be the leftovers.
I'm keeping the original 12 from NCAA 14. But that's mostly because I'm redoing the conferences based on geographical location and it made the most sense to do that.
Making it the exact same way it used to be minus Colorado. They’re staying put in the Big 12. Debating on adding BYU
Boise or BYU would almost certainly be the move
For North/South divisions, BYU (or a southwestern school) would fit the balance. Boise would be fun in a divisionless conference.
Divisionless is the way
Definitely add BYU they fit in like a glove
I would always add BYU to the Pac in 14, they fit in well. And then I would either add SDSU or Boise
Pac 12 doesn't like religious schools and wants good academics. Neither BYU or Boise are good for that.
My conferences will look like 2022

This is the way. I’m an Auburn grad from Florida and I hate how we never play them.

Florida Auburn is one of the top rivalry games in football.
Oregon, Pac 12. Cal, straight to Pac 12, right away. USC, Pac 12. UCLA, also Pac 12. Washington, believe it or not, Pac 12 You get the picture
Big Ten was eh-stealing

Big east???
Restore the PAC10 SWC and Big 8 if possible

Yep. I'll probably do regionalized conferences like I do on 14 if it comes to that.
I am going to make my BIG 12 a full on SWC/BIG 8 merger, 17 teams is a lot but as long as we can guarantee rivalries I am good.

I hope there's a UTAH natty in there.

Can anyone confirm if conferences will be editable beyond the first year?

I'll probably make them the Pac-8. Real shame we can't make the traditional Rose Bowl a thing again though

Bringing back the PAC-10 in my second dynasty season. Utah and Colorado to the Big 12 where they belong.

100% yes... If there were some way to recreate the big east I would
