Tradition never graduates haha

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?

Well said

Hmm, Pittsburgh as a 3*. I can see that after a down year last year. Add in the fact that "The Stache" is gone, and you're left with an unproven team. A bunch of key players left for the draft as well.

Actually, only 3 years. Tennnessee was 5-7 in 08, 7-6 in 09, and 6-7 in 2010. In 06 and 07, Tennessee was in 2 Outback Bowls and appeared in 1 SEC championship game. They still have enough all time tradition to have a 5 star ranking.

I get that some of the developers went to Michigan and they are a big name, but how does a Michigan defense that ranked 108 out of 120 in team defense last year get a B+ ranking. How do they possibly rank them better than their cross-state rival who are returning Big-Ten co-champions who return better more proven linemen and secondary?

I guess it all depends on how far back they use to get their prestige rating. ESPN did a prestige grade for every school back to the inception of the AP Poll. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3849468

Bearcats B+ kind of surprised. Looks like Collaros and iPead are gettin' some love from EA this year. Surprising for how awful we were last year. Only 3 stars but that will be fun to work up from in dynasty mode. Definitely excited now.

Yeah....I forgot who said it earlier, but I agree and think EA likes to keep it more balanced than it should be so everyone can play with their team online and stand a chance.

With Luvs rosters schools like PSU will be a B like they should be (PSU is my school by the way, they are the only team I use in online and offline dynasty) and there will be more parity between the top teams and others.
