Oklahoma State

The obvious reason for this one is Ollie Gordon, who is one of the most exciting players in college football right now. Oklahoma State has some options in the passing game, but you could run a different playbook and make the Cowboys a lot more of a ground-and-pound team than they otherwise are in CFB 25.

Northern Illinois

The Huskies are riding high after a Week 2 victory over Notre Dame, and that's thanks to their star HB, Antario Brown. NIU is already a Pro Style team in CFB 25, so you can jump right in with their playbook and start running to glory.

Michigan State

Sparty has always been known for a Pro Style offense, and in CFB 25 its a great team to run it with. This team lacks some playmakers on the outside, but their offensive line is well-equipped to push forward for a HB. If I were looking for a solid team to rebuild in a Dynasty that's Pro Style, I would probably go with Michigan State.
