NCAA Football 09 Team Ratings (These are NOT Final)

11:02 PM - May 8, 2008 by Steve_OS

Here is a video clip I captured of all the team ratings in NCAA Football 09. I was told these ratings WILL change before release, but it's something to discuss amongst yourselves. It is probably a little hard to make out the numbers, but I'm sure someone will get them all.

It's a combo of both.

5 years ago...LSU was a 4 star program on the game. Now..they are a 6 star, so obviously the recent success of LSU has boosted them.

Notre Dame hasn't been great for 20 years, yet the ever lasting "stigma" of greatness with ND keeps them at a 6 star or close to it with their alumni base, TV Network (NBC) and general "aura".

FSU and Miami have been in slow decline but were SO dominant in the 90s that it's almost like an enternal "mulligan" if they lose 4-5 ball games a year.

It's hard to gauge how EA rates the prestige of a program.

Teams like LSU, West Virginia, etc. should and do have a definite boost in their perceived prestige, but the old standbys.....FSU, Miami, ND seem to go no lower than a 5 star., even if they completely bomb for a few seasons (6-6, 2-9, etc.)
