Arkansas State left before Boise even joined the Big West, then rejoined at the ill-fated point. In the early 90's, despite losing Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach, the Big West had 10 teams and seemed ok. Then Pacific closed shop and the flood gates opened and only 3 teams remained. That is when Boise, Idaho, and North Texas came on board.

I think C+ would be about right, and that's with giving the benefit of the doubt to Hoke and the new system.

Last year, UM's Defense would be deserving of a D or a D+.

Sucking for the past 15 years will do that. That should have happened a long time ago.

Prestige rating affects recruiting ability as well as in-seasons and offseason player progression. Just because a school was great 20 years ago doesn't mean they should still have a leg up on schools that are doing better than they are the past 4-5 years. They still recruit but I think a lot of their classes are overhyped considering the results.

Exactly, exactly, exactly

U guys have been down for about 5 years, how long should u keep that rating?

I expect Michigan's D to improve but after the past 2 seasons I don't see how anyone can justify a B+ rating. I would rate them a C or C+ at the absolute max. Plus Michigan can have 10 losing seasons and would still be one of the most prestiegious teams in America.

I agree with u on the D but the drop to a 5* was deserved if not earned on the field.

Doesnt make sense. ND is still a school that has a great fan base, great academics, great school tradition, still sells out home games, gets TV coverage....obviously. All that i think is why they remained a 6* program IN THE GAME for so long. I could see both arguments as to why they should still be a 6 or knocked down to a 5. I basically agreed with him about knocking ND down after a year where they had a better season than the previous. If anything they shouldve knocked them down a * after last year. Fair enough?

I can explain it. On the game you need to finish top 15 to keep your 6*. They didn't and haven't for a long time.
