Chris it is a great article. You make some good points. I must agree with MacPlex though I think that Vandy and Duke are 1a and 1b. They have had some good players the last few years but never really more than one or 2 on a team. They just seem like a difficult place to bring in kids. Imagine if oh say NCAA 2012 had academic admission standards. You could almost never win at Vandy. But I can't argue with your list. Anyone of those jobs would tough.

I loved playing as them though, and I now follow them a little bit. I would be happy if they went to a bowl in real life, and I am going to play as them again this year.

I would think Temple would be one hell of a job.

Does Utah State at least have their real stadium in the game? No way can I handle a crappy team AND a generic field!! Haha.

I think you bring up great points...and in all reality, I think you could very well be right about Vandy. I think the biggest reason I left them off is because I feel rebuilding a team in SEC country wouldn't be as hard as an Idaho or Utah State. However, I think this article brings up a necessary point which I will be writing on for next week and that is academic standards should be in the next NCAA. The only way to add real depth to recruiting is making it tougher to recruit at schools like Stanford and Duke, not to mention the service academies. Just my .02 and short preview for next week

Funny thing is, Playing with Syracuse isn't as bad as it seems. I have played with Syracuse for every NCAA game ever released, sure it was fun when they were good but i like a challenge. In NCAA, the pass blocking was always decent, no matter who you were. In real Life, the Syracuse O-Line is like swiss cheese, just pick a hole.

Hopefully they will win more than 2 games this year and they should, they have a "capable" offense and a decent Defense. And if this game is anything like real life, If you don't win more than 6 games, expect to get fired...

the orangeman need to be number 1 on this list because they are in the big east and this is just unacceptable.
