Just because a school was great 20 years ago doesn't mean they should still have a leg up on schools that are doing better than they are the past 4-5 years. They still recruit but I think a lot of their classes are overhyped considering the results.

What about penn state? I never said one thing about them. consistency? what??
anyways... I know ND hasn't won a lot of ball games recently, I'm all for that and i see your point from that prospective. But, I dont see how you knock a school down a prestige when they are 1:as of now getting better, 2: have the largest fan base in the nation, 3: continue to roll in top recruiting classes, 4: have the most national tittles & hisemen winners, 5: have thier own TV network and 6: have tons and tons of tradition.
I am in no way trying to brag about past accomplishments but I'm just saying, those should be taken into account.
As i stated, if the prestige ratings are based on Ws and Ls, then why did ND go down if they won more then they did the year before?
That my friend, is what doesn't make sense to me, Honestly

I apologize, earlier it had been said a couple times that PSU should be down to five stars.

The truth of the matter is, all you have to do is have one good season and you will be back to 6* again.

I agree with you.

Colorado a 2* prestige? Ouch... Hawkins has to go down as one of the worst BCS coaches in history. I understand Colorado has been pretty bad the past five years, but bad enough to erase the past history and make them a 2* prestige school? Even Colorado State who has been atrocious is rated higher, that's bad.

Ive used Colorado in a few of my dynasties. The black on black and that stadium are pretty awesome. At least being a 2 star you have a challenge ahead of you.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU- great Rutgers a 3* this year. Expected but makes it more of a challenge to build them up as the big east power.

So explain to me when a team should finally lose a prestige star. 20 years no BCS bowl win? 30 years? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Dame losing to Navy lately? This has to be reflected somehow right?

No kidding huh? I always kinda thought they were more of a 3* program now, as opposed to the late 80s and 90s when they were a 5* and 4* program. I guess I see things differently than EA, but then again, we only have our good friend Dan Hawkins to thank for this.
