Their D should be a C or C+ at the best but that just won't happen without custom rosters

exactly right.....what is it 70 man rosters 120 different teams? there's a lot of filling in blanks whenever they're doing the rosters

Why is Tennessee a 4 star?

I honestly don't care about team ratings, but the prestige is very important. Tennessee should be a 5 star.

I like the generous B+ rating for Uconn, but thats what it is. Uconn's offense has no QB barely any WR's and Todman and Frey are gone. But hey, i dont mind

Dang Tennessee is not getting any love! 4 star prestige? The same as Iowa and Utah! Crazy!

I had no problem with Bama being A+ last year because they had just won the championship and had a lot of players coming back, but not this year. They lost an impact RB, impact WR, their starting QB, and 3 offensive linemen, yet they're still an A+? Huh? Well, ya'll might as well get used to playing Bama online. Seems they're overrated......again. I really would like to know how they come up with these team ratings. Are they just guessing or are they using some kind of college football website or something. Some of this stuff just seems off. I know Bama is preseason no.2, but that doesn't mean they're an A+ team.

Bear with me I'm on my phone.

But first off, I agree that there should be few and far between A+ teams in any given year.

However, as for bama, a couple things:

1 - they only lost 1 oline and 2 returners are preseason all sec (I know doesn't mean anything but it's all we have to go on right now).

2 - they return 9-10 starters on d that was #6 in nation in scoring d, and tops in sec in almost all categories. Save sacks. Last time bama did that they won th mnc.

3 - last time bama replaced a solid experienced qb, they won mnc with the "new" guy. Plus, bama will never rely on a qb. They win with great d and great rushing game. And with 4 oline coming back, a great rb back, and the vast majority of starters from a really good d a year ago back, they shouldn't have to have a qb to win them games.

4 - in 09 bama replaced a school record setting 1400+ yrd rusher with a new guy as well. That new guy went on to rush for 1600+ yrds and win the first heisman for bama. They are replacing that guy with another heisman favorite, preseason AA and projected 1st rounder. So shouldn't be much drop off.

5 - losing wr jones is IMO the biggest loss. But they have two proven and experience wr who are both projedged to play in the league.

Now none of this means that what happened in 09 is going to happen again. But it does mean that it isn't necessarily impossible either.

Bama should be a B+ at best on offense after the loses. Qb is a huge ? coming into the season..

I'm very excited about the Red Wolf offense this season. They racked up the most yards in school history without recruiting a single player to run Freeze's offense. Pretty impressive. Hopefully EA got the playbook right. If not I can just do it with a custom playbook I suppose.

Seems about right to me with the way things have gone recently at Rocky Top.

Since 2008 they have struggled but they are still one of the top teams (tradionally) in the nation. I counted 21 teams ranked as a 6 or 5 star. In most list, Tennessee would be a top 20 program at the least. Prestige is not meant to rate the overall talent level of the team now.

BTW, I also like Arkansas State and I'm really looking forward to using them in the game.

# 49 TDenverFan @ 06/08/11 10:57 PM

I would just like to know is the prestige based off of the past 10 years? All time history? Both, emphasizing on the past 10 years?

Off Topic: Also, isn't Arkansas St the Red Wolves, not the Indians? I know this is off topic, but I thought they ditched the Indians name a wile ago.

# 50 Tovarich @ 06/08/11 10:58 PM

Central Florida gets 3 stars yet again...Central Florida is MORE prestigous than UCLA.

The homerism is amusing.

Yes they are the Red Wolves. I believe that the NCAA made them change a few years ago.

# 52 cecondlife @ 06/08/11 11:02 PM

wow UCLA 2* that is nutz

Switched to Red Wolves in 2008 but had removed anything Indian related before that. As far as I could tell, OS doesn't have the block stAte logo or red wolf logo for their avatars, so I'm just using this.

As far as Tennessee, I feel like 4 and 5 stars is a weird spot where either one can be nationally prominent teams. The Vols falling to 4 stars doesn't seem that awful. Penn State staying at 6 for all eternity is very offensive.

And I suppose someone at EA is a huge USC fan or something. 2 stars for UCLA seems excessive. They're one star above teams like FIU, Tulane, Monroe, etc. That doesn't seem right.

Over the past 5 years I would say they are, over all time, there is no way. I think they both should be 3*

I don't have don't care about UCLA at all, but that's just ridiculous.

Good God, home many of the developers are Penn St. grads?

That's fine. I got no prob with B+.

But there less questions around these qbs than there was gmacs first year. Except which one will win the starter spot. But both are (at least coming out is hs) rated better than gmac and among the best in the nation in their respective classes.

And again, bama doesn't and won't rely on a qb to win, especially when he's a first yr starter and they have an elite rb, a goof if not great oline and a defense loaded with talent and experience.

# 58 volstopfan14 @ 06/08/11 11:15 PM

The fact that Tennessee is a 4 star is not nearly as bad as the fact that UCLA is a 2 star. Penn State should be a 5 star too. If this is going on a scale of the past 5 years I can see Tennessee as a 4 star. If this is over a scale of 10-15 years there is no way Tennessee should be a 4 star.

Exactly. That and Miami grads.

And will freaking EA give Bo and the Blackshirts credit and rate them a damn A some year please? A likely All-American at each level with other returning talent and a damn B+ again. Penn St and Miami's D better than Nebraska's?

# 60 buckeye02 @ 06/08/11 11:57 PM

Michigan's defense being a B+ is laughable.
