I had no problem with Bama being A+ last year because they had just won the championship and had a lot of players coming back, but not this year. They lost an impact RB, impact WR, their starting QB, and 3 offensive linemen, yet they're still an A+? Huh? Well, ya'll might as well get used to playing Bama online. Seems they're overrated......again.

I really would like to know how they come up with these team ratings. Are they just guessing or are they using some kind of college football website or something. Some of this stuff just seems off. I know Bama is preseason no.2, but that doesn't mean they're an A+ team.

Bear with me I'm on my phone.

But first off, I agree that there should be few and far between A+ teams in any given year.

However, as for bama, a couple things:

1 - they only lost 1 oline and 2 returners are preseason all sec (I know doesn't mean anything but it's all we have to go on right now).

2 - they return 9-10 starters on d that was #6 in nation in scoring d, and tops in sec in almost all categories. Save sacks. Last time bama did that they won th mnc.

3 - last time bama replaced a solid experienced qb, they won mnc with the "new" guy. Plus, bama will never rely on a qb. They win with great d and great rushing game. And with 4 oline coming back, a great rb back, and the vast majority of starters from a really good d a year ago back, they shouldn't have to have a qb to win them games.

4 - in 09 bama replaced a school record setting 1400+ yrd rusher with a new guy as well. That new guy went on to rush for 1600+ yrds and win the first heisman for bama. They are replacing that guy with another heisman favorite, preseason AA and projected 1st rounder. So shouldn't be much drop off.

5 - losing wr jones is IMO the biggest loss. But they have two proven and experience wr who are both projedged to play in the league.

Now none of this means that what happened in 09 is going to happen again. But it does mean that it isn't necessarily impossible either.

Bama should be a B+ at best on offense after the loses. Qb is a huge ? coming into the season..

I'm very excited about the Red Wolf offense this season. They racked up the most yards in school history without recruiting a single player to run Freeze's offense. Pretty impressive. Hopefully EA got the playbook right. If not I can just do it with a custom playbook I suppose.

Seems about right to me with the way things have gone recently at Rocky Top.

Since 2008 they have struggled but they are still one of the top teams (tradionally) in the nation. I counted 21 teams ranked as a 6 or 5 star. In most list, Tennessee would be a top 20 program at the least. Prestige is not meant to rate the overall talent level of the team now.

BTW, I also like Arkansas State and I'm really looking forward to using them in the game.

Just to clarify: Michigan has always been a six-star program until this year, so they're not "still" a five-star.

And while you're probably right that they belong in the four-star range in the objective sense, I've never had a problem with the traditional powers being a bit overrated. Maybe I'm just old school, but I'd much rather have my dynasty be dominated by the "big boys" than have them floating around the middle somewhere. When my game @Penn State is just another 3-star opponent, I start to lose interest.

The big-time programs deserve the bump, imo.

I would just like to know is the prestige based off of the past 10 years? All time history? Both, emphasizing on the past 10 years?


Off Topic: Also, isn't Arkansas St the Red Wolves, not the Indians? I know this is off topic, but I thought they ditched the Indians name a wile ago.

Central Florida gets 3 stars yet again...Central Florida is MORE prestigous than UCLA.

The homerism is amusing.

Yes they are the Red Wolves. I believe that the NCAA made them change a few years ago.
