OS College Football Simulation with WhatifSports.com

[RaychelSnr]

The 2010 College Football season kicks off next weekend, but we have you covered with simulations of each major conference today with our friends at WhatIfSports and NCAA Football. We took the average of each simulation and came out with a final result.

If the simulations are any indication, we will end up with a pretty wild season, with several teams coming out of nowhere to contend for a National Title in one of the craziest BCS messes yet, with representatives from each major conference being in the mix for a BCS Championship game berth. Find out how the simulations did after the jump. And for more college football goodness, check out the Season Simulation WhatIfSports did by heading over to their site!

Read on another site that this same "simulation" also had UCONN beating Michigan 95% of the time which leads me to believe it has very little credibility, if any. Just for comparison it had UCONN beating Michigan a higher percentage of the time, than it had for Michigan beating Bowling Green. LOL at anybody putting any stock into this.

And using NCAA 11 for the other half which I assume was with the default rosters, that's just as bad. The default rosters aren't exactly realistic.

And really any "simulation" like this is flawed quite a bit simply because it is largely based on last year and college football is the most unpredictable sport year to year. There are just so many unknowns for a good number of teams going into each year. It looks to ignore the fact that some teams do improve significantly or get worse year to year.

You're right. It should be 99% of the time.

It was actually is pretty accurate last year. UCONN is going to be Pretty good this year, My Money is on UCONN.

UCONN is a pretty descent team, I almost think that's believable. I wonder if Rich has his resume updated?

It is accurate for last year, because it is largely based on last year. Not exactly hard to figure that out.

And UCONN is solid, nothing more nothing less. Average QB, Average to Subpar Receivers and a bad pass defense. Doesn't exactly equal pretty good. Not to mention both of their starting DE's are out, good luck stopping Denard Robinson on the read option without good DE play.

LOL at people thinking that is believable. Right, because UCONN has a higher probability of beating Michigan than Michigan does of beating Bowling Green. Keep believing that is realistic though. At least according to Vegas UM is the favorite, all be it a slim one.

I would put money on Michigan lighting up UCONN's defense and UCONN does not have the passing game to keep up. I remember UCONN giving up 500+ yards to Syracuse in a game last year, Michigan has far more skill on offense than a team like Syracuse. And like I said UCONN's defense will also be missing their starting defensive ends, one of them Greg Loyd is a very good player.

Oh well, Michigan will just have to prove the doubters wrong this season. I doubt UCONN wins the game let alone 90% of the time.
