I should have figured Notre Dame's as I am curious maybe tomorrow. I did figure all of the 6 stars to see what their scores would be.

Alabama - 245 points

LSU - 323 points

Auburn - 214 points

Oregon - 205 points

USC - 467 points (taking away NC's and 1 heisman, add 58 points if you choose not to take them away)

Oklahoma - 489 points

Ohio St - 528 points

Penn St 159 points (Wow how are they a 6*??????) By far the lowest so far and only 53 points better than K-State. Joe Pa can sure get some love.

I didn't get to Florida or Texas yet but sure they will fit in. Interesting that the only one that doesn't belong in that group just going off those points is Penn St. Oregon is next lowest but close to both Auburn and Alabama

I will probably start a new thread and continue looking at all of the BCS schools. Interested who is better than Oregon? Kind of changed my perception of them a little more. I know they have been good but didn't expect they would be that close to some of the big boys.

What EA needs to do is create a "tradition" rating which would be seperate from the prestige star rating therefore teams that have great tradition such as the "michigans, notre dames,miami's" that have struggled in the past years would not be rated as high in current prestige however there tradition rating would remain among the best....IMO of course...

PRESTIGE: Respect and admiration felt for someone or something on the basis of their achievements or quality.(Definition from google)

Despite what anybody says, Notre Dame deserves a 6* prestige rating based on that definition of Prestige.

No other program in the country can say all these things about their program-
1: ND has the largest fan base in the nation, 2: ND continues to roll in top recruiting classes, 3: ND has the most national tittles & hisemen winners, 4: ND has thier own TV network, 5: ND have tons and tons and tons of tradition, 6: ND has never violated major ncaa rules, 7: ND has never played an FCS (aka D-1AA) team, 8: ND graduates over 95% of their players.

ND is in fact a very prestigious school.

Im not saying Notre Dame isnt, but in recent years it hasnt done much with any of the top recruiting classes and hasnt won National Champ since 1991.

No independent should even be allowed to compete for a BCS bowl.

Dude....

I GET IT!

EA calls it a prestige rating but it REALLY isn't about prestige, it is about wins and losses in the game!!!! If it WAS really about prestige Notre Dame would never ever lose a star in the game.

Only argument to that would be ND does play a pretty solid schedule year in and year out...
