NCAA Football 14: A Look At #OUToTheSEC Season 2

OU, Texas, Clemson, & Miami (FL) the SEC Foreigners This Time.

So I wanted to do a take on perhaps a more realistic and definitely more stacked SEC in Season 2 of the Dynasty Mode for our #OUToTheSEC Series. And I also decided I wanted the pace to be much faster this time, and perhaps more interesting for you dear readers by just making a single article for an entire single season. Some of the outcomes of our Dynasty Mode Offseason from the 1st Season include, which threw up some surprises: most notably CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, and Tua staying in College for 2020. It's going to be an interesting race for the Biletnikoff. Kenneth Murray also stayed for his Senior Season. It's really, really hard to luck trying to keep Coordinators after a good year on this game. Bill Bedenbaugh left to take the Arkansas Job, and Alex Grinch left for Auburn.

The New Conferences:

ACC North: Boston College, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Virginia, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, & West Virginia.

ACC South: South Carolina, Florida State, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, UCF, & Georgia Tech.

SEC East: Miami (FL), Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, & Vanderbilt.

Sun Belt: UAB, Troy, South Alabama, & UConn. (The game won't let you destroy a conference and must have a bare minimum of 4 Teams, so I grouped the Group of 5 Alabama Schools & Recently-Independent UConn together.)

Bowling Green 24 @ Wisconsin 21

Florida State 56 @ South Carolina 3

West Virginia 24 @ Maryland 34

Week 5 Key/Interesting Games:

#12 Alabama 23 @ #2 Oklahoma 42 (just realized we played Alabama at Home in Year 1 as well, although it was Week 1 the 1st Time. I guess the rotation got all bungled because I tweaked the Conferences. We'll have to deal with that regularly unless I can decide to leave it alone for awhile. This is tougher than it looks because Tua, Jerry Jeudy, and Henry Ruggs all stayed in school within the Dynasty Mode, but we still rose to the challenge and had a good defensive effort.)

#22 Mississippi State 21 @ #24 LSU 0 (Art imitating life dramatically.)

Tennessee 20 @ #8 Miami (FL) 17

Texas Tech 35 @ Colorado 18

#4 Notre Dame 41 @ Iowa 39

Kentucky 23 @ #19 Louisville 10

Ohio 24 @ #15 Michigan 20 (the Ohio Bobcats may have surprised to our BCS Title Game Finish within the Dynasty Mode for 2019, but Ohio State's STILL never letting you live this one down Michigan. Granted it'd probably never be scheduled in real life for this very reason, but still it's really, really funny.)

Fresno State 17 @ #20 Utah 13

South Carolina 0 @ Duke 52 (anybody questioning me kicking out South Carolina, there you go. Shut out with "Half A Hundred" from 'everybody's favorite basketball school', lmao.)

Week 6 Key/Interesting Games:

#2 Oklahoma 59 (N) #18 Texas 19

(fun fact, Tulsa is #17 and coming to Norman next week.)

Forgot to check Texas's Outgoing Players during the Dynasty Mode Off-Season, but apparently Sam Ehlinger bolted for the 2020 NFL Draft in-universe. So the, insert creative expletives here, traitor Casey Thompson from Moore, Oklahoma got the nod at QB for the Longhorns whom we appropriately sacked NINE times. 3 of which came from Kenneth Murray who didn't go to the NFL in-universe who also had an 8 Tackle, 6 Tackle For Loss, and a Defensive TD Performance. It's was actually a very video-gamey play though, as I got an Interception with recruited freshman, Marcus Griffin, from Cadillac, Michigan. Who of course doesn't actually exist since he's a true freshman in year 2 and one of our best recruits. Anyways that typical NCAA Football 14 Playstyle User Glitch happened where I got an Interception but I was holding down the Left Bumper so it auto-pitched to the closest available player. It worked out perfectly though like a bizarre option play as Griffin blocked the offensive lineman that was the only one who had a chance to prevent the touchdown.

Rattler's 470 Passing Yard & 5 Touchdown Performance sees him enter Heisman Watch for the 1st time this season just behind leader Trevor Lawrence. Kenneth Murray earns National Player of the Week Honors, while Rattler joins him with SEC Player of the Week Honors.

#24 Texas 24 @ Missouri 21

Georgia 21 @ #21 Auburn 31

#13 Tulsa 24 @ Kansas 31 (NCAA 14 seems to believe heavily in Les Miles. Here Ranked Tulsa loses to Kansas, while in reality I think we could agree regular old Tulsa should beat and possibly slobber-knocker real life Kansas. The random things in this game, haha. Gotta love em, gotta hate em.)

South Carolina 27 @ Georgia Tech 21 (Georgia Tech creeping on 0-12 with one left to play, and this is after being relegated from the SEC after Year 1 back to the ACC for Year 2.)

Week 14 Key/Interesting Games:

#10 Notre Dame 28 (N: Jerryworld) #1 Oklahoma 55

Didn't really want to schedule a Home & Home, so I pretended ND was arrogant enough and desperate enough for some Texas Recruits to do this, haha. Kind of weird they were available since I figured all of their Non-Conference would be Tied Up in their Numerous Rivalry Games. If it's not obvious enough, only Stillwater remains for Week 15.

Rattler gets his 3rd Consecutive SEC Offensive Player of the Week Award with a 16-18 for 428 Yard; 8 Rush for 36 Yard; 5 Touchdown Performance and is now going into Bedlam 3rd in Heisman Watch behind Trevor Lawrence in 2nd and Florida State HB Cam Akers.

SS Jordan Parker gets his 2nd and our 3rd SEC Defensive Player of the Week Award with 5 Tackles, 2 Tackles For Loss, 2 Sacks, and an Interception. His 1st was Week 1, and the other was Kenneth Murray from OU-Texas.

#21 Kansas State 19 @ #25 Baylor 17

#11 Alabama 48 @ #24 Auburn 17 (Alex Grinch's Auburn finish 7-5 & 4-5 in SEC Play. Would be interesting if they somehow got Tulsa or Ohio State in the Bowl Game. Ohio State's having another down year.)

#13 Iowa State 21 @ #18 Kansas 20

Virginia 17 @ #9 Virginia Tech 37

Duke 24 @ #8 North Carolina 30 F/OT (The Mack Brown led Tar Heels had to fight hard to finish off Bowl-Eligible Duke, but they inch closer to clinching a spot in the 8 Team Playoff Version as they were already BCS/CFP #8 and are now finished with the Regular Season at 11-1. I'm not sure about the tiebreakers, they may not have to play in the ACC Title Game either given #4 Florida State's Superior Rank.)

#7 Florida 32 @ #4 Florida State 39 (Florida State also clinch their 11-1 Finish.)

Iowa 10 @ #6 Nebraska 31 (Nebraska also clinch an 11-1 Record and are tied in-conference with Notre Dame in the Big Ten West at 8-1.)

#5 Oregon 27 @ Oregon State 31 (Even Pac-10 2007 Onside Kick Shenanigans aside, I'm glad to see this upset crop up. Oregon was over-ranked with 2 Losses and have now been dealt a 3rd big L.)

#3 Clemson is Idle, 11-1 Record, and SEC East Champions.

Rutgers 24 @ #2 Michigan State 38 (Michigan State finish 12-0. We seem to have a good chance at getting a Revenge Match in the BCS Finish for our loss in the 2019: 8 Team Playoff Title Game and possibly multiple potential matchups.)

TCU 45 @ Tulsa 42

Texas Tech 23 @ Stillwater 13 (so Stillwater will come to Norman for Bedlam at 1-10 and 0-8 in Big XII Play with the lone win being against Texas-San Antonio. Sounds extremely close to the OH-TEN-AND-ONE Chants from 1991, lmao. A far cry from real life, but we have to take our joys where they come. Plus like I said I forgot to check on other teams players leaving in the offseason. They may have had more Juniors leave for the NFL than they did in real life.)

Georgia Tech 34 @ Georgia 31 (Ah Rivalry Games, haha. Georgia Tech avoids 0-12 and deny the Bulldogs Bowl Eligibility in the process as Georgia finishes 5-7 and 3-6 in SEC Play.)

Arkansas 3 @ LSU 28 (The Bayou Bengals just barely clinch Bowl Eligibility with a 6-6 Finish, 3-6 in SEC Play.)

#12 Miami (FL) 38 @ Vanderbilt 24 (The Big Florida Trio only lose 7 Games Combined as both Florida & Miami (FL) finish with 9-3 Overall and 7-2 SEC Records.)

Texas A&M 48 @ Missouri 38 (Texas A&M clinch Bowl Eligibility 6-6 Overall and 4-5 SEC Records.)

#15 Mississippi State 42 @ Ole Miss 37

#20 Louisville 27 @ West Virginia 12 (West Virginia finish 4-8 and 3-6 in ACC Play.)

Boston College 55 @ #14 Maryland 45 (any backdoor chance for Maryland to get into the 8 Team Playoff should be evaporated as Boston College hands the Terps their 3rd Loss.)

Idaho 0 @ #16 Fresno State 37 (Idaho go 0-12. Considering they don't actually exist anymore it shouldn't be too surprising.)

UCF 59 @ USF 45 (Josh Heupel led UCF Clinch Bowl Eligibility at 6-6 and 4-5 in ACC Play.)

Michigan 14 @ Ohio State 45 [Ohio State Wins a Barely-Bowl-Eligible Derby as Ohio State Finish 7-5 (5-4) and Michigan Finish 6-6 (5-4)]

Week 15 Key/Interesting Games:

Stillwater 31 @ #1 Oklahoma 78

Their Rivalry Adrenaline kept them in for awhile with it being 30-28 at the half: we got a Safety after I failed on 4th & Goal. But we rectified things and separated the Crimson and Cream from their lot and rose to the top. Such as it is when playing a 1-10 team I suppose. Part of their problem just is that their ratings aren't up to snuff. Chuba Hubbard's only rated 82 in this Dynasty, so his 2019 in our 1st Version of the SEC and his Offseason Development must not have been on par with real life.

Tulsa 28 @ Colorado 16

Texas Tech 34 @ TCU 16

#23 Kansas 10 @ Baylor 31

#9 Iowa State 13 @ #18 Kansas State 31

Saturday:

Mountain West: Boise State 14 @ #25 Colorado State 31

Pac-12 (Levi's Stadium, SF): #13 Fresno State 21 vs #16 Washington 31

ACC (Charlotte, NC): #7 Virginia Tech 33 vs #3 Florida State 45

Big Ten (Lucas Oil Stadium): #5 Nebraska 24 vs #2 Michigan State 27 F/OT

MAC (Ford Field): Akron 48 vs Western Michigan 49

SEC (NOLA SuperDome): #4 Clemson 10 vs #1 Oklahoma 42

So next year will be back to the Georgia Dome per my created Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans Rotation. After finishing our business and Michigan State doing likewise we should get a Revenge Chance in the BCS Finish as we're the only 2 Undefeated Teams, Power 5 or otherwise. Seeing all the potential though, I think I will still do a separate follow-up article with the 4 Team & 8 Team Playoffs. It'll be wonky because I'll have to import the real 2020 Roster instead of having our Dynasty Mode Advantages, but it's better than just leaving it as a complete what if I think. So I'll advance: post the Final BCS/CFP Standings, pick those matchups for us for the sneak peak, then finish off our article here with the Dynasty Mode Bowl Season.

Final Heisman Voting Results:

1st: Cam Akers, HB Florida State: 363, 287, 102: 1765.

5th: Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson: 29, 46, 116: 295. (wouldn't be too surprising to see him stay and avoid the New York Jets after all, in this Dynasty Mode anyways. Especially since players stay more often than they realistically should on this game.)

New Orleans Bowl: Western Kentucky 21 vs UCF 35

Hawai'i Bowl: Memphis 23 vs Hawai'i 30 F/OT
