Dynasty Mode – No Option to Set Conference Game Start Week

In College Football 26 Dynasty Mode, I updated the SEC conference settings to 9 conference games with 2 protected rivals. The issue I’m seeing is that my conference games always begin in Week 4.

This causes multiple bye weeks early in the season, followed by an 11–12 week stretch with no bye weeks at all. In previous NCAA games, there was an option to set the conference game start week, but I can’t find that setting anywhere in CFB26.

Is this by design, or was the conference start week setting removed? If it’s not currently in the game, I’d like to suggest adding it back in a future update—especially for those of us who customize conferences and want more realistic schedule spacing.

Thanks!
