16-0
How to Play
Draft an all-time college football lineup and find out if your legends could run the table — a perfect 16-0 and a national title.
Stats vs. honors
A stat line on a card is a player's best single season, and complete box scores only exist from 2004 on (2007 for defense, via CollegeFootballData). The exact peak year sits next to the line — e.g. 2021 for a player in the 2020–25 era.
The 1960s–90s greats aren't left out — every roll can still surface them. With no reliable box scores that far back, they're shown and rated by their honors (Heisman, All-American, Hall of Fame, major awards) and era dominance instead of numbers.

Spin the slot machine
Each round rolls a random team and era (e.g. "Alabama, 2015–19"). You can draft any player who suited up for that program in that window. Modern football splits into 5-year eras; the 1960s–90s are two broader buckets.

Draft 11 starters
Pick one player from the roll into an open lineup slot. Once a slot is filled it locks — a great player later at the same spot is no help.
- 3
Skip a weak roll
Two team skips and two era skips per game: re-roll the team (keep the era) or the era (keep the team) when a spin doesn't fit your needs.

Simulate the season
With all 11 filled, your team plays 12 games, a conference championship, and a 3-game Playoff. Run the table for a perfect 16-0.

What You See While Drafting
Pick your visibility up front. Show Stats reveals each player's real production and honors; Memory Mode hides all of it — just name, team, position, and era. Either way the numeric rating is never shown: the list is alphabetical by default, and only sorts by production once you filter to a single position to compare.
On Standard you also choose a difficulty — Easy / Normal / Hard shifts every opponent's strength up or down, so Hard demands a deeper roster. The Daily Challenge is always Normal so everyone's on the same footing.
In Show Stats mode, decorated players wear an accolade badge so the legends are easy to spot:
- Legend
- Heisman winners & transcendent talents
- Elite
- Major national awards · unanimous All-Americans
- Great
- Consensus All-Americans & clear stars
- Star
- Standout, decorated players
Stat lines show a player's best single season with its year. Older players with no box score instead show their NFL draft pedigree — a real signal of who they were — and first-round picks wear a 1st Rd badge, No. 1 overalls a gold No. 1 Pick one.
How Scoring Works
Every player is rated on their real peak-season production, on one shared scale — so the biggest seasons stand out and a role player never reads like an all-timer. Older greats from before box scores are rated by their honors and era dominance instead. Your Dynasty Score comes from the season your lineup plays: wins matter most, then your team's position-weighted strength and point differential, with a bonus for a perfect run.
Premium positions carry more weight, so a star there is worth chasing:
Balance is everything: a single weak starter drags your average down, and only a near-flawless roster runs the table. Here's how a season is graded:
- Perfect Season16-0 🏆
- National Championwon the final
- National Runner-Uplost the final
- Playoff Semifinalistfinal four
- Playoff Quarterfinalistmade the bracket
- Conference Runner-Upmissed the Playoff
- Bowl Game9+ wins
- Bowl Bubble7–8 wins
- Rebuilding Year6 wins or fewer
What Counts Toward Each Rating
Each rating weighs impact plays the most (touchdowns, sacks, interceptions) and rewards bigger production more, so a good season and an all-time one land far apart. The gist of what each spot rewards:
Passing production and efficiency, plus rushing. Turnovers hurt.
Total yards and touchdowns on the ground and through the air, plus workload.
Receiving production and touchdowns.
Run blocking and pass protection — graded by pedigree and the offense it springs.
Getting to the quarterback — sacks, tackles for loss — and takeaways.
Tackling, pass rush, and coverage takeaways.
Coverage and takeaways (interceptions, break-ups), plus tackling.
Older legends are rated by era dominance and accolades rather than these modern box scores.
