19 FCS teams have been imported, this is the play now ratings for each team [Rating guidelines courtesy of @Project_FCS] over the next several days I will continue to update Stadiums, Record Books, and Helmets/Uniforms. Rosters will be finalized closer to beginning of the season! Each team currently has random players on the rosters. As I finish updating each time I will submit them for any user that would like to play with them now vs. having the actual roster! #collegefootball27 #dynastymode #fcsfootball #teambuilder

**AGAIN EACH TEAM WILL BE UPDATED BEFORE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON!

Make sure to check out Project FCS! Currently 63 out of 128 FCS teams are being built by different creators across the community https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFCS/s/Emi3ccscQt

The Central Washington Wildcats are complete and become Team #2 in my full Lone Star Conference rebuild project.

For this build, I focused on making everything as authentic as possible:

🏈 5 authentic helmet designs
👕 5 authentic uniform sets

🌲 Recruiting pipelines: Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and Nevada

⚔️ No rivalry games assigned for now

The goal with this series is to recreate the entire Lone Star Conference with realistic branding, uniforms, recruiting pipelines, and team identities inside College Football.
Central Washington brings a strong Pacific Northwest presence to the conference and features some of the cleanest uniform combinations in the LSC. Every helmet and jersey set was designed to match the school's real-life look as closely as possible.

Part 1 of my Lone Star Conference TeamBuilder Project features the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds.

This build was created to be as authentic to real life as College Football 26 would allow. The Greyhounds feature 5 authentic helmet designs and 5 authentic uniform combinations based on the real program. The only exception is Alternate 3, which is missing the side pant stripes due to TeamBuilder layer limitations.

For Dynasty Mode, I set the recruiting pipelines to New Mexico and North Texas to reflect ENMU's recruiting footprint. Rivalries were added with New Mexico and New Mexico State, giving the program some in-state and regional matchups to build around.

Since ENMU doesn't have a stadium in the game, I used Sam Houston State's stadium as the home venue. Everything else—from logos and branding to uniforms and team identity—was recreated as accurately as possible.

The goal of this project is to build every Lone Star Conference football program with the same level of realism and attention to detail. Let me know what you think of the Greyhounds and which LSC school you'd like to see next.

The Schreiner Mountaineers build is officially complete. Tried to make this one as authentic as possible considering Schreiner University hasn’t fielded a football program in over 70 years.

3 authentic helmet designs
3 authentic jersey sets
1 custom alternate uniform
No manufactured rivals
Southwest Texas recruiting pipeline

Bowers Stadium, [home of Sam Houston State University]

This also officially completes all 6 members of the American Southwest Conference.

Now I’ll be going back and re-rating and build actual rosters for each team!

East Texas Baptist University [Username: TRuss850]

Features:

• 5 Authentic Uniform Sets

• 5 Authentic helmet combinations

• Sam Houston State Stadium

• No real-life roster or re-ratings implemented yet

This build was focused on creating a realistic-looking ETBU experience for players who want to jump in and use the Tigers in Dynasty right now.

Roster construction, depth chart accuracy, and rating adjustments will come later.

Features:
• 5 authentic uniforms
• 5 authentic helmets
• Wyoming Cowboys’ War Memorial Stadium as home field [For Now]
• No real-life roster or re-rating done yet

This build was more about creating an authentic-looking Hardin-Simmons experience for people who want to play with the Cowboys right now.

Also added a custom rivalry setup:
🐎 Battle for the Saddle vs Texas Tech
⭐ Battle for the Texas Star vs Texas State
🐍 Battle for the Rattle vs New Mexico State

Focused on building the program identity, atmosphere, and presentation first — roster and ratings will come later.

The Cru is here.
This build was made with authenticity as the focus from the start. I dug through photos and historical references to keep everything as close to real-life UMHB football as possible. UMHB has only used a very small number of helmet designs throughout the program's history, and from everything I could find, only two helmet designs have been used by the program over the years— both are included in this build.

Included in the build:
✅ Both known authentic UMHB helmet designs
✅ 5 authentic uniforms worn by UMHB over the years
✅ Accurate school colors, logos, and overall look
✅ Built to fit the UMHB identity and feel on the field
❌ No current real-life roster (roster still needs a future update)

I also created a custom Texas Tri-Rivalry Series concept around the program:

🏔️ Texas State –* Hill Country Clas*h
🔔 UTSA – Mission Bell Trophy
🪓 Sam Houston – Battle for the Republic

The idea was creating a path where UMHB fights through three Texas programs with one ultimate Texas champion standing at the end.

HOWARD PAYNE YELLOW JACKETS — AUTHENTIC DYNASTY BUILD 🟡🔵

One State. Three Rivalries. One Tradition.

Built Howard Payne University with NO real-life rosters[currently at the moment].The goal is simple: build a true small-school Texas football powerhouse from the ground up using generated recruits, regional pipelines, and rivalry-based storytelling.

Stadium: Jim Wacker Field at UFCU Stadium [Texas State]

THE TEXAS HERITAGE SERIES RIVALRIES:
⚫ THE BLACK GOLD CLASH
Texas Tech vs Howard Payne
A West Texas oil-country rivalry built on toughness, defense, and physical football.

🔔 THE LONE STAR CHIME
SMU vs Howard Payne
Tradition meets underdog grit. Dallas lights vs Brownwood pride.

⚔️ THE LONE STAR DIVIDE

RECRUITING PHILOSOPHY:
• Focus pipelines in Texas

This isn’t a superteam rebuild.
This is Texas small-college football culture built from the ground up.

– Full 2025-2026 roster built using last season’s depth chart and available player information

– Overall ratings set at 72 OVR / 75 OFF / 71 DEF

– 5 Authentic uniform combinations included ( made within game restrictions of real life uniforms)

– Carson-Newman only currently uses 2 real helmet designs, so I created 3 additional concept helmets that still fit the program’s identity and color scheme

– Middle Tennessee and Appalachian State added as rivalry games

– A couple player names had to be slightly adjusted because of EA’s profanity filter
