College Football 25 best pipelines – our top recruiting systems for Dynasty Mode

✓ At A Glance

• Florida
• California
• Texas
• Georgia

Recruiting is key in College Football 25, which is why the best pipelines are important. The pipeline system is an effort to replicate how real-life recruiting works. Of course, big schools will be able to land players from anywhere, but in general, things are surprisingly local.

High school players from North Carolina generally want to go to UNC, NC State, or somewhere else close by. The same is true for kids in Georgia, Florida, California, and most other places. If you’re recruiting in Dynasty Mode, you should know what pipelines have the best players to look through.

4) Georgia

Georgia is a great pipeline to try in College Football 25 – just ask Kirby Smart. There’s a good reason so much talent is always flowing through Georgia, and part of it is because of the sheer talent they have close by to draw from. The only thing that makes this last on the list is because, unless you’re controlling Georgia in Dynasty Mode, you have to contend with the top school arguably in the entire game. It’s hard to out-recruit the Bulldogs, and Georgia is a smaller area than some other pipelines.

3) Texas

Texas is another excellent pipeline to try out in Dynasty Mode. It’s full of talent, and historically, it has produced some elite college football players. Unfortunately, a similar problem plagues it. If you’re trying to turn a lower program around, you’re going to have to fight with Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech for the top recruits. That’s a tall ask, but at least it’s a bigger region than Georgia.

2) Florida

Florida is arguably the best pipeline in college football in the real world. It’s the source of so many current and past football phenoms. Many of the best in college and the NFL came from Florida, so it’s a really reliable place to recruit. However, with this pipeline, there’s plenty of competition and it’s a smaller state. Florida, Florida State, and Miami to name a few are all trying to get these recruits, but the talent is just too hard to ignore.

1) California

It’s no surprise that California, one of the biggest states in the United States, is the best pool to recruit from. California has so many good players and the added benefit is that, while there are good teams, there are more than enough to recruit from. Say you’re running San Jose State. You are competing with California, UCLA, and several other top schools. There’s still plenty of recruiting to be done there.

It is worth noting that the pipeline you choose doesn’t have to be the best, but it does need to fit what you want to do. If you eventually want to coach for the University of Miami, you may not want to set your pipeline as California. Everything matters, and you can move around, but it will impact your recruiting. Additionally, each above state is broken down into a couple of regions, which are largely inconsequential. For example, North Florida and Southwest Texas are both great.
