I wanted to start a new thread to make things a little cleaner, however after going through all the teams I believe I have come up with a plan for NCAA 12.
First off, I know the big new thing this year will be OD's where everyone starts off as a coordinator and works their way up and while that sounds appealing here at Powerhouse we've had a problem finishing things out when we get away from the norm (Teambuilder dynasty comes to mind). So everyone will be starting as a head coach.
With that being said my first thought was to stay with powerhouse teams, however there just aren't enough top teir teams to where everyone can start out on an equal footing. This year what I've decided to do (which is still up for a vote from all the members) is to start off with non-BCS teams (mainly because this was the only group of teams that were fairly equal):
The one thing that I've taken away from playing the CPU so many times since Thursday is it is possible to lose, especially when you are the inferior team.
Coaching carousel will be on, if you so choose and at the end of the year you are offered a job you can accept it and move to another school. In playing around with this you may be at your school for a little while before moving up (at least to a school you would want to make a move to).
I understand that a lot of people become tied to their teams and don't want to take new jobs, with the ability to do conference changes at the end of every season we can now put together goals that must be met in order to move up to a BCS conference.
Right now my thought is at least two BCS bowl invites with one win and or multiple years finishing in the top 10 (still working out the details), this seems to be inline with Utah and TCU's rise to a BCS conference.
So to recap, the plan is to start off with non-BCS teams and use a combination of coaching carosel and team goals to move up through the ranks.
Let me know your thoughts on this plan.
Also, another thing I am looking into is creating a wiki page for the OD, as well as one for all the coaches so if anyone knows of any good hosted wiki sites out there let me know.
