If William & Mary would be playing in the ODAC with a 100 & 10 record, 10 championships, I don't see that being dynasty. At what point does having a dynasty program become more about just "playing down". NDSU has lost what, around 10 games in the past 10 years, To me that isn't a dynasty, that's playing competition you shouldn't be playing."
It seems to me that one cannot declare oneself a Dynasty. When ESPN and other national media start using the word, it becomes legit.
