Dynasty prestige ratings for every Mid-American Conference program in EA College Football 27
It'll be tough sledding for most MAC schools in Dynasty, but it's nothing you're not used to.
The release of EA College Football 27 is less than a week away, and the hype train is only going faster down the rails.
On launch, a lot of fans will immediately dive into Dynasty mode, an offline (or online) experience where the player can take control of a college football program and build them up from scratch, revive their former glory or maintain dominance.
New to the game this season is the concept of "dynasty points", which essentially acts as a type of budget mechanic. The dynasty points control how much you can spend on facilities, coaches and— yes, this is 2026 after all– name, image and likeness (NIL) contracts with prospective players.
Each school has a set starting rate of "prestige", which impacts your facility grades and attractiveness to incoming student-athletes– as well as (starting this year) your budget to operate the program. A school can be rated anywhere from 0 stars (lowest) to 5 stars (highest), with the ability to move up or down depending on your performance.
Thanks to EA's Creator initiative, the ratings for not only players and programs, but now Dynasty prestige have been slowly unveiled to the public over the course of the last week.
