In the dynasty mode of College Football 26, there are 136 teams, and players can train one of them as a coach, compete with other teams and win all the way to the championship. The difficulty of this depends on the team you choose, because just like in real life, these 136 teams are not of the same level.

Teams are divided into different star levels according to strength and reputation in CFB 26. The higher the star level, the stronger the team is, and they are all strong contenders for the championship. The strength and reputation of low-star teams are not high, and the number of victories each season is very few.

However, it is not difficult to win with a high-star team. A comeback with a low-star team can show how high your game level and understanding of football are, and this method will get the most XP and CFB 26 coins rewards.

Low-Star Teams

If you are going to take on this challenge, then you have to see which teams are ranked the lowest. If you are not a crazy football fan, then you may not have heard of the following teams at all.

1 Star Teams

• 72 OVR: Georgia Southern
• 69 OVR: Arkansas State
• 69 OVR: Buffalo
• 69 OVR: Charlotte
• 69 OVR: FIU
• 69 OVR: Rice
• 68 OVR: Hawaii
• 67 OVR: Delaware
• 67 OVR: Jacksonville State
• 67 OVR: New Mexico
• 67 OVR: New Mexico State
• 66 OVR: Kennesaw State
• 65 OVR: Georgia State
• 65 OVR: Missouri State
• 64 OVR: Old Dominion
• 62 OVR: Ball State

0.5 Star Teams

• 64 OVR: Kent State
• 61 OVR: Akron

The conditions at the above schools are similar. Some schools may have one or two talented players, but the level of most of the players is quite amateur. If you want your start a little more easily, you can choose Georgia Southern.

First Year

After you confirm the team, the first year is crucial for you, and it can almost be said to determine your success or failure. The harsh reality for a one-star team is that they have no advantage in recruiting, so you must pin your hopes on your team and tactical arrangements.

Try To Win

Most of the players on a low-star team can be regarded as the team’s weaknesses. Compared with professional teams, they are full of loopholes, but you will not encounter strong teams in the first year. You need to use NCAA 26 coins to unlock tactical perks, and then combine several good players on your team to specify tactics, and strive to win as many games as possible in the first year.

You can actively choose to play against some teams. You should try to choose a worse team than yours as your opponent, such as Kent State or Ball State. There is nothing shameful about such a victory, and after all, you are also a weak team.

Recruiting Players

You need to make changes to your team as soon as possible, because the good players on your team may graduate before this season, so the team needs strong fresh blood.

Rookie players are also divided into different star levels. Five-star rookies are almost impossible to be interested in your team, even if you have defeated some weak teams. You can try your luck with a four-star rookie. If he is close to your school, he may consider your team. Otherwise, don’t expect too much. Three-star rookies are your major targets. They may be the backbone of your second season.

Your recruitment strategy is not entirely based on the star rating of the players. You also need to look at the personnel turnover on your team. If the offensive linemen who performed well on your team transferred to other schools, you must quickly fill this gap.

Coach Upgrade

As the team level increases, don’t forget to use coins to upgrade the coach’s skills. You can continue to invest in tactics. Your tactics should be adjusted according to the players you recruit. If your quarterback or cornerback is strong, you should adjust your tactics accordingly.

Second And Third Years

When you come to the second year, your team’s star rating will improve a little, which is not entirely a good thing. It means that you have to challenge stronger teams. However, since many of your team are freshmen, it is recommended that you still start with some weak teams to familiarize yourself with your team. Just give them some time, and they can perform better than your initial players.

By the third year, you have accumulated enough wins for the team, and it is time to recruit more four-star rookies for the team. Your team has enough appeal to these four-star rookies. After recruiting these powerful players, you can arrange tactics for them more freely.

Your team has freshmen and seniors. If their levels are similar, try to let the freshmen play more.

Five-Star Rookies

If you have successfully passed three seasons according to the above steps, then your team is at least three stars at this moment. At this time, you can allocate more of your EA CFB 26 coins to the recruitment part, and use more players to find five-star players every week, because your current team is attractive enough to them.

After you successfully recruit one or two five-star players, you will develop your tactics around them, and soon you will complete the counterattack from low stars to top stars.

Although the above content is simply to say, when you are playing, you must always pay attention to the data of each player and understand the strengths and weaknesses of your team. You can take some notes to help you remember this information, and as long as you are patient, you will achieve this goal.
