I have long wanted to do a dynasty involving FBCB, but wondered how to go about it. I didn't really want to run a team; I wanted to see how things played out over time. I wanted to see some great rivalries, some excellent teams, and incredible tournaments.

It is how I arrived here...well, at the next sentence.

I've decided to see who could run the table.

In order to make this more compelling, I'll be going old school...no player is allowed to leave early. I've done this with another league, and it's truly compelling, to see the mid-majors get a group of players stick around and make a real go at it.

At some point, once FBPB becomes available, I'll start importing draft classes and see how some of those players come out. For now, though, this is about the young men who are about to embark on the four greatest years of their lives.

This is the quest for The Perfect Season.

Before I begin, I should disclose the settings for the dynasty.

- Season: 1930
- Championship Tourney Teams: 32
(I found out I can change this back to 64 in the offseason. So, for now, at least, you have to play you're way in.)
- NIT: Enabled at 32 teams
- No other tournaments
- Player attributes: 0-100
- Injuries and academics on
- 3-point on
- Never allowed to turn pro early
- Conference movement: None
- Conference prestige changes allowed
- Transfers must redshirt
- Players may not refuse redshirts

1930 Preseason Poll

1. Ohio State
2. Tennessee
3. Oklahoma
4. Utah State
5. BYU
6. Gonzaga
7. Notre Dame
8. Michigan State
9. UConn
10. UCLA
11. Maryland
12. Vandy
13. Georgetown
14. Illinois
15. Wisconsin
16. Villanova
17. Kansas
18. Louisville
19. Kentucky
20. Marquette
21. Creighton
22. Duke
23. Mississippi State
24. WVU
25. Xavier

Ohio State is absolutely stacked, with blue/blue at every starting spot. They're not strong along the frontcourt, though (loaded in the backcourt). I don't like their chances because of this (teams with strong frontcourts have more predictable success), but we'll see.
Best player: PG Stefan Calvin (Jr)

Tennessee may have a deeper bench, and more height. They start four seniors and a junior. They can go 14 deep...just a matter of whether they will.
Best Player: SF Daryl Hein (Sr)

Oklahoma is the class of the Big XII, but I don't expect them to run the table. They aren't on par with the other teams above them. They start two seniors, a junior, a sophomore, and a freshman; they may have the best rotation at the point in the nation, with two seniors and a junior running the show.
Best player: PG Jason Figueroa (Sr)

Utah State got a first-place vote, and for good reason. They're stacked...tall, athletic, and deep enough that they redshirted all three of their true freshmen (all of whom should be rather amazing). They are a bit inexperienced at the point (they start two SG right now), but if sophomore Joe Andes can learn on the fly, they'll be tough to stop.
Best player: SG Freddby Robles (Sr)
(Side note: James Olmos is the center on this team.)

5. BYU...I don't like their chances to run the table, as I don't think they're quite as talented as those around them. They also lack a true presence inside. Their best scorers underneath are all guards. But they'll be solid.
Best player: PG Duane Rooney (Sr)

Sweet. Love having an FBCB dynasty to follow.
