I am coaching a 76 prestige team and went 10-2 and made an 8 team CFB Playoff (bounced in first round) my first year but saw no change in prestige at all. I obviously don't expect huge jumps, but I definitely expected to be bumped up a few points based on that season. What might be the reasons it didn't change, and how many good (or bad) years do you need to have before it starts moving?
Over time we have had a lot (A LOT) of discussions about prestige with users. Short answer is - you need to dominate to increase when playing on default. There is a setting you can change to increase prestige changes, but beware that every increase needs to be offset by a descrease (otherwise the whole league would end up high prestige) so if you crank it up you may lose prestige for going 8-4 etc...
I also believe it depends on the types of losses and believe making and winning bowl/playoff games increases your chances. What were the two losses in the season? Were they ranked or bad teams? How bad was the losses (score difference)?
I just had an 8-4 season with a 76 prestige team and they won the bowl game they played. They received a +1 prestige increase. The four loses were to two ranked teams (11 and 18) and the other two were against other opponents with better record.
I also had a 10-2 season with a 82 prestige team and they won the first two playoff rounds (8 team playoff) but lost the championship. They received a +2 prestige increase. My two losses were both to ranked teams (10 and 17).
