Best schools to rebuild in EA Sports’ College Football 26 dynasty mode

While we are still a little under 50 days from the start of the college football season kicking off, the sport is back on the forefront of many fans’ minds thanks to the release of EA Sports’ College Football 26.

College Football 26 is the second game in the series since its return from an 11-year-long hiatus and looks to deliver the best and most authentic college football experience to date.

The Cougars’ roster provides a lot of intrigue heading into the 2025 season. Can you rebuild the career of former 5-star Conner Weigman, or will you lean on last year’s starter Zeon Chriss?
