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

[Gloves 82]

Missouri deserves a 5* prestige more than Tennessee since it's based off the games you win and Missouri doesn't even deserve a 5* until they win a conference championship. Yes I know Tennessee has a better history, but prestige is based on the present in the game.

Last 5 years
Tennessee 37-28 overall 1-3 in bowl games
Missouri 48-19 overall 2-3 in bowl games

That's a good point Gloves. Also, I believe Mizzou has produced more NFL first rounders than UT in that time span too (could be wrong)

Yep I believe they have. Here's the number of first rounders for the last 3 years, not sure about the 2 years before.

Alabama-7
Missouri-5
Florida-5
Oklahoma-4
California-4
USC-4
Tennessee-3

Baylor is about what I thought as far as grading goes.
Overall - B
Offense - B +
Defense - B-
Special Teams - B

They are "ranked" 43rd best and are 5th best in the Big 12. The teams they are ahead in the Big 12 are Tech (suprised about that one) Kansas St, Kansas and
Iowa State. It's nice to see Texas not in the top 5.

I'm still trying to figure out how my Nittany Lions are an A on offense. We lose out leading rusher for the last 4 years, our quarterbacks weren't great. Paul Jones was the best quarterback on our roster and he redshirted, but he obviously won't effect the ratings too much.

B+ at best on offense for us.

Several ND fans out today! I fully expect the haters to come out in full force to combat such positive talk.

I think ND is going to be pretty dang solid this year. I'm excited to see Mr. Lynch line it up

Online Dynasty will be the same this year as last....in the fourth season every user team will have a stable of 99s and then there will be a dropoff for everybody in year 5

We finished around 32 in total D last year and were 2nd in the SEC in sacks and TFL...I think B+ is about right with 7 starters returning and a lot of seniors

next year is a different story however...

Prestige shouldn't be based on present it should be on present + history. Overall, Off and Def ratings are for present. Prestige is defined as high status or reputation achieved through success, influence, wealth, etc; renown. If you ask an average fan or anyone other than die hards who is more prestigious Tennessee or Missouri I am sure over half would say Tennessee.
