Coaching Carousel
In the last fifteen years, all but one program (Penn State) has had to look for a new head coach to try and lead their program to the top of the college football world. Accordingly, some in the NCAA Football community have asked for a coaching carousel similar to that found in 2K Sports’ now-defunct College Hoops franchise. Each coach would have different ratings (OFF, DEF, ST) that would increase (or retard) progress on that side of the ball and also catch the ire of recruits at certain positions. Over time, these coaches would leave for jobs at other schools, get fired, or retire. The pool would constantly be replenished by assistant coaches who would have the same attribute ratings affecting players & teams. (This category does NOT include coaches being visible on the sideline as that would be a separate programming & design issue and is a different item in the tournament.)

Better Stadium Sound & Atmosphere
With over 120,000 characters moving on-screen in some stadiums (among the most of any next-gen sports game), 3D and improved crowd visuals are unlikely. However, the current crowd could definitely use improvements in range of animation and audio. This would include improved crowd animation and items such as, but not limited to: recognition of touchdown scores (raising hands), doing the wave, fans in end zone waving arms when foe attempts FG, or school-specific movements at more schools (IE: Waving Song at Oklahoma State, Wave the Wheat at Kansas, etc.). This addition would also include smarter crowd audio, such as getting louder on breakaway plays & deep pass attempts (ball mid-flight), booing on some penalty calls against home team, being significantly louder overall to create a home-field advantage (particularly at bigger stadiums), and more audible crowd chants. Another possible addition under this category would be bands & student sections placed in the stands in the proper location. (Round 1 Discussion - Round 2 Discussion)
