Really, wth? They need to give us greater control so we can rectify these kinds of head scratching decisions faster, along with making prestige editable.

LSU's off and def ratings should be reversed imo.

Why Texas didn't drop, I don't know, that's EA's prerogative

If that's true, ND should've dropped a star about 4 years ago.

Only AQ conference they could be scheduling better than is the Big East, than again that's not difficult.

Well, they only play Div. 1 schools. SEC teams start the season with 2 games against East Wyoming State. By opponent's win %, Notre Dame played the toughest schedule in the nation in 2010. They also played Stanford, who I believe finished #4 in the nation. Florida is playing Furman the 2nd-to-last game of the season....FURMAN!

Best thing I've heard all thread. I realy think you hit the nail on the head b/c prestige and tradtion or different. To me prestige fluctuates and is more about recent win and losses which will greatly effect recruiting. But Tradition is more static so a school can still lose and still get good ball players b/c of strong tradition.
