I hope they get better, because I suspect Rodriguez will have Michigan on track in spite of the naysayers. In terms of recruiting, we still have out recruited MSU on a national level year in and year out, but you are right that MSU's recruiting has improved, especially in state.

Fair enough, if just looking at recruiting and performance the past 2 years I dont believe the difference in prestige from MSU to UofM should be 3 stars. The history aspect obviously I can see the 3 star difference, maybe it leans heavily on this factor

i can see michigan winning 6 or 7, but i dont think they can get anymore than that. at the same time i could see them having another rough year and only gettin 4 or 5, but they should be better than last year

How the hell has Louisville moved UP with the back to back horrible seasons that they've had? Ridiculous, of course I'm a little biased because I'm a UK fan, but it's still ridiculous for UL to move UP in prestige with the way that program is headed. BTW, WTH is prestige based on? Tradition? UL lacks that, hell they haven't been in the Big East for a full decade yet. Is it based on what have you done for me lately? 5-7 and 6-6 the past two years, with the 5-7 season last year. UK and UL should both be 3*.

I agree with you here. I think prestige is based heavily on history. If MSU keeps racking up 8 and 9 win seasons, they will see their prestige jump.

My Big Ten Prestige Ratings

Ohio State - 6*
Michigan - 6*
Penn St. - 5*
Iowa - 4*
Purdue - 3*
Wisconsin - 3*
Northwestern -3*
Indiana - 2*
Illinois - 3*
Michigan St. - 4*
Minnesota - 3*


Also this leads to another good topic.. In dynasty mode under Conf. Prestige when dealing with recruiting, instead of saying Excellent or Poor, why not just average the stars and give us 4* or 3 and 1/2* instead?

Aren't ya'll breaking in a new QB too? Anyway, I'm taking us a little off course here. . . .

I'm assuming these are based solely on tradition as U of M and Notre Dame are six stars. I'm happy with UNC having four stars. Thanks for the post.
