The folks at Tradition Sports Online nailed down the initial list of team ratings in NCAA Football 14. Have a look at all 126 teams and their ratings below:
I would think UMass would be more difficult since GA State will have GA and Florida as pipelines to start out and should be able to get more southern states quicker. But yea, I'm doing a GA State dynasty as well.
It's unfortunate for me and Bama fans because in NCAA 13 I could rarely play with Bama because they are so overpowered, and only got to play with them if I was up against another top 10 team, it seems that it's the same case this year.
Kinda sucks to play with your favorite team when they are arguably the best team in the game.
I'll downgrade them for you, just give me a few days.
I'm a die hard Hokie fan but wow are we overrated.
91 Offense
95 defense (2nd best on the game)
It's gonna be fun kicking teeth in with my Hokies
Wasn't gonna say anything, but I thought so too. Defense is probably fine but not offense. Same for UNC. Doesn't matter though, I'll have downloaded rosters
WVU seems fairly rated to me. Except for the defense being rated higher than the offense, but who knows the defense could be drastically improved this year. Still don't know if it will be better than the offense. But still pretty accurate for the most part.
If we can get our offense even back to average will be back to spanking UGA on a regular basis just like the past 20 years
But in all seriousness I thought they would bloat UGA's rating just because even though they lost all but 2 starters
I'll let the spanking UGA comment go so we don't go back and forth and clog up the thread, but do we even know how they come up with these overall ratings? I know everyone has different ideas about how rankings should be representative of the players and team. If I had to compare their actual talent to something, I would bet that they have a top 15 defense skill wise this year. Whether that pans out in the stats, we shall see. Per the rankings they are somewhere between 22-32, so I don't think it's terrible, but I don't think it's terribly accurate either.
