Keep the game fresh

He is rated 83 overall, so he has star potential all over him by his 3rd year, and he has 87 speed so he is fast as well. Kentucky also has several fast runningbacks and some underrated WR's... So, if you are looking for an underrated and not juiced team in the SEC...try UK...or Vandy. Building those teams up are always challenges and so fulfilling when you win your first SEC championship game.

I might go with Kentucky this year...I was doing rosters for PS2, and came across them. Newton is a BEAST, they also got damn fast running backs. The defense is alright, but the defense will be able to be built up with Newton still there(most likely will be a 90 or so by his senior year)

The key to using an underrated team in NCAA, and having sucess online, is knowing YOUR team. Know your weaknesses and know your strengths. Play to your strengths. If I play with Navy, I'm not gonna sling the ball 40 times a game. I'm gonna pound the ball, wear the defense down, and eat up clock. Or if I'm playing with Buffalo, I'm not gonna chuck the ball all over the field with the inexperienced QB. I'm gonna hand the ball off to Starks and setup a big play to Roosevelt. You have to manage the game with teams like this. Their talent as a whole is not enough to beat Great teams. Individually they may have 2 or 3 good players. You have to eliminate your mistakes and capitalize on your opponent's mistakes. I feel that winning with a variety of teams makes a good player. Not using Florida every game and destroying opponents game after game. If your good enough and smart enough, you can win with any team.

What he said! Excellent post, man.

Gosh I can't wait any longer for this game!!

Their playbook is very unique. They have ace, flexbone, i formation, strong i, and a bunch of shotgun sets to run a spread. It definitely looks great with Griffin running the show.

Great post gatorguy. To be honest, I try to avoid usuing Florida at all costs in the game. I only used them once on a PSP dynasty 3 years ago. I love small schools especially navy. I hated playing online becaiuse everyone uses Florida, Texas, OU, etc. and its just unfun. Kind of like how everyone uses the Lakers Cavs, or Celtics in NBA games. Last year I had a lot of fun taking Houston to the Big 12 and winning the Championship in 6 years. Hopefully I can find a new school to do this with this year. I'm thinkin' Dan LeFevour and the Chippewas right now.

Yea its weird. I never thought I'd see the day that the Florida Gators would be the most popular team in NCAA. I remember when online gaming started and they were a distant third in the state of Florida. Well behind Miami and Florida St. Nobody used them. They had a bland offense (post Spurrier), and average players. Now everyone and their mom uses them. It sucks that people are "jumping on the bandwagon." Where were you guys when Chris Leak and Ingle Martin were the Qb's?

Because of this I feel guilty using my "own" team. That is why I use a different team every time I play online. Keeps the game fresh and forces me to be a complete player.
