The schools rated between 2.5-star and 3-star aren’t really the strongest contenders when it comes to a trophy. You’ll have to put in a fair amount of work to take these schools to the next level in terms of roster depth. Recruitment is going to be vital since you’re bound to miss out on some promising stars, and it all adds to the entertainment value.

Let’s take a look at what I consider the ten best schools with a 3-star rating in College Football 26.

10 best 3-star schools in College Football 26 Dynasty Mode

There are plenty of options in the range of 2.5-star and 3-star schools in College Football 26. However, some of them can be pretty boring to pick in Dynasty mode (unless you have a personal connection with them). The table below includes what I consider to be ten fun save ideas that you can pick from schools with either a 2.5-star or 3-star rated program.

SchoolStar RatingOVROFFDEF
Army Black Knights2.5707169
Mississippi St. Bulldogs2.5848484
Vanderbilt Commodores 2.5848484
Maryland Terrapins3767676
Missouri Tigers3868686
California Golden Bears3797981
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets3797979
Houston Cougars3777679
Michigan State Spartans3848484
Cincinati Bearcats3797979

There are some interesting considerations to be made from this group of schools.

  • Both Vanderbilt Commodores and Mississippi State Bulldogs might have a rating of 2.5-star each, but they have very good default squads that you can build further.
  • Missouri Tigers match a few 4-star schools if roster depth and strength are concerned. However, you’ll have to improve the program rating to attract better talent.
  • Maryland Terrapins has the weakest roster despite having a 3* rated program.
  • The California Golden Bears are a good choice if you want to exploit pipelines to secure the best possible recruits.
