NCAA Football 12 Team Ratings and Prestige Revealed (Tradition Sports Online)

[Bigsheen]

not too many D teams this year...hmm idk if that should be worrysome or shouldnt be an issue? lol

Wasn't that many D teams last year either........I remember years ago they had a good number of D teams and a handful of F teams. Too many A teams IMO.

I've said this like a bajillion times haha, but I'll take a few too many A teams over a cluster of C teams and worse like last year, where having a B- Team was elite. The players played like idiots as well, just seems like the engine is geared towards higher ratings. In that case they should stick to what it's good at.

It seems like a couple of non-AQs randomly lost prestige.

Fresno 3 to 2 after an 8 win year
Hawaii 3 to 2 after an almost top 25 Year
There may be others I didn't see

Also, I noticed Wazzou is the only 1* AQ, not Duke. And Texas is still 6*?!?! Houston, a 4* last year, went 5-7 year, dropped a star. Texas, a 6*, went 5-7 and didn't drop a star.


Also, thanks for posting!

Cause Texas is Texas, it took about 3 years of mediocrity for Notre Dame to drop from 6* to 5*

Michigan and Notre Dame finally fall to 5 stars. Though I don't understand why Penn State is still a 6 star program.

And I know Boise State has been incredibly successful, but 5 stars still seems too high. I think 4 would be perfectly appropriate.

damn....my friends and I decided to start in the Pac-12 this year. The other teams are Washington, Oregon State, Cal, Utah, and Arizona State. I drew UCLA. I figured they would be a better situation than a 2 star, but hey it will be a great challenge.

I disagree. If Boise deserves to be 4 after about 10 years as a top 25 program (Finished ranked all but a couple of years), then what does a program like USC, who has a tarnished reputation, Notre Dame, who hasn't been nationally relevant for a while, or Texas, who flopped last year, deserve? A .5 Star? (That's harsh, I know, but a Hyperbole drives a point well)

I think EA needs to explain how they make these numbers. Hawaii was ranked for part of the year and dropped a star, Texas fell out of the ranks quickly and stayed the same, Fresno has 8 wins and falls, Miami OH reaches 10 wins and fails to gain a star, Toledo has 8 wins and stays a 1 star, etc
