C+ is fine with me as they still have a lot of Pac-10 talent on their team (but very young).

Because even with 5 straight losing seasons and going 0-12, UW is still a more prestigious school than Wazzu

But realistically, even after 0-12 and then only winning 5 games last season, we still pulled in a pretty solid recruiting class. It was ranked 11th by Scout, 20th by ESPN, and 28th by Rivals. I'd say that's an indicator of UW having a good reputation and prestige in the college football world despite the recent losing. Not to mention a relatively bright future.

I do believe EA's policy for raising/lowering program prestige, etc. has to do with # of wins in a season and conference championships, etc.

I remember my team prestige going up after a 10 win season, after a conference championship, etc.

Maybe they're using some cryptic algorithm that is more than a gut feeling.

A lot Ty Willingham's prized top 25 recruiting classes really did nothing on the field though, which is what really matters. And if that was the case then the Cougs should have not become less prestigious due to us having top 38-45 classes the last 2 years under Wulff, compared to top 55-80 under Doba.

A good recruiting class is just one part. Actual player development is another. Willingham never did that well. Sark has shown that in just one year, he's at least much better than Willingham at player development.

I guess we will just see after this season. I do think our rating is a bit high, but it's not entirely unreasonable. I think it may just be propped up by Locker's high rating. If I remember correctly, we only have two 90 and above rated players: Locker and Polk. That seems to make sense to me. I expect to see improvement this year. Perhaps that's part of the reason why UW is being rated higher is due to potential.
