Best 2-star schools in College Football 26 Dynasty Mode

Not the greatest of them all

College Football 26‘s Dynasty mode can be a stiff challenge if you try to manage a 2-star-rated school.

The 2-star category is a mixed bag as far as the teams are concerned. These schools certainly aren’t among the worst-rated programs, but they’re some miles away from being a top dog. You’ll have to be shrewd if you do decide to pick one of the teams from the table mentioned below.

Let’s take a look at what I consider the ten best Dynasty mode challenges you can pick in College Football 26.

10 best 2-star schools in College Football 26

I have considered multiple factors in making my selection.

  • The school program has to be rated at either 1.5 or 2 stars (quite obvious).
  • General offense and defense of the default roster.
  • Potential history of the schools.
  • Potential pipelines you can exploit.

Fresno State Bulldogs2747474
Miami Redhawks2676669
Tulsa Golden Hurricane2777777
Navy Midshipmen2696969
San Diego St. Aztecs2767676
Troy Trojans2696971
Marshall Thundering Herd2696969
Wyoming Cowboys2696969
Purdue Boilermakers2777976

Here are some interesting saves to consider.

  • Purdue Boilermakers is the highest-rated 2-star school you can find on the default roster. Their program needs plenty of improvements, but the default squad isn’t poor at all.
  • The Marshall Thundering Herd has had one of the biggest downfalls from College Football 25. Their squad ratings have declined in both offense and defense.
  • The San Diego Aztecs have a decent squad as well, despite only having a 2-star-rated program. The pipelines aren’t great either, which makes it a pretty unique challenge for Dynasty.
  • The Miami Redhawks have the worst-rated squad among all 2-star programs, which makes it the most complex challenge in this category.

Incidentally, there are lower-rated schools in the 0- and 1-star categories, and here’s our list of worst teams in College Football 26.
