The Polls are a joke (E-rage)

[stcloudgopher]

The polls in the game are horrendous, no doubt, but what irritates me more than anything is what happens when dynasties (off-line in my case) get to 2015 and beyond.

I've posted before about being 2-time defending BCS champion and being the #3-5 team, undefeated and with a 50+ game win streak. At that point, I was Alabama, after a 3-year stint at FAMU.

Anyway, I deleted that Dynasty and started one with SMU. (I switched their playbook to Air Force. Took a while to get good because of the spread attack they actually use.) Now, in 2015, the game has done it again. I finished 12-1 (Could not get by Tulsa of all teams.) No problem there. But, there is a problem for several teams. The final pre-bowl game BCS rankings are as follows:
1. Michigan, 12-0 1.000
2. Oklahoma, 13-0 .994
3. Miami, 13-0 .989 (vs. Fresno State in Orange Bowl)
4. West Virginia, 12-0 .983 (vs. Oregon, 10-2 in Rose Bowl)
5. Utah 12-0 .975 (vs. Ohio State in Fiesta Bowl)
6. Ohio State, 11-1 .967 (vs. Utah in Fiesta Bowl)
7. Fresno State, 12-0 .965 (vs. Miami in Orange Bowl)

15. SMU, 12-1 .914 (def. Kansas State in Liberty Bowl, 27-24/OT)

SIX undefeated teams! What the... The latest tuner, I believe, is the one to blame. On the official NCAA 11 site they ran down progression after TP4, and said they wanted to get more teams to the A/A+ range and more players into the mid-to-upper 90s. I think they might have messed it up. I'll run the bowls and see how many stand.

UPDATE:
1. Oklahoma, 14-0 def. Michigan, 34-14 in BCS title game
2. Miami, 14-0 def. Fresno State, 38-17
3. Utah, 13-0 def. Ohio State, 31-28

Settle down, AbsoluteFury.

yeah, when i have a good idea that i will have a shot at the BCS title i will schedule teams like Boise, TCU, Central Florida, and Houston. These teams are too good for their confrence and win about all their games.

I would like to strike from the record my previous post about the absurdity of 6 unbeaten teams after the Con.f Championship games. Not that I don't stand by my statements, but the game has one-upped me.

At the end of my 2016 season (I am SMU and finished 12-1 with a 57-14 loss to Nebraska in Wk. 1) there are not 6 unbeatens, but SEVEN! 7! SIEBEN!

Final BCS standings are as follows (pre-bowl games):
1. Ohio State, 12-0, 1.000
2. LSU, 13-0, .994
3. Miami, 13-0, .989 (2nd straight year at 13-0 and No. 3)
4. Texas, 13-0, .981
5. West Virginia, 12-0, .978 (2nd straight year at 12-0)
6. Boise State, 12-0, .963
7. Alabama, 11-1, .961
8. Michigan, 11-1, .956
9. TCU, 12-0, .955
---
12. SMU, 12-1, .933 (Liberty Bowl, baby!)

BOWLS
Liberty Bowl: SMU 16, Cincinnati 0
Sugar Bowl: Bama 44, Boise State 16
Orange Bowl: Miami 50, TCU 36
Rose Bowl: West Virginia 20, UCLA 10
Fiesta Bowl: Texas 27, Michigan 24
BCS Title: LSU 28, Ohio State 21

FINAL BCS RANK
1. LSU, 14-0
2. Miami, 14-0
3. Texas, 14-0
4. West Virginia, 13-0

This is starting to get irritating because it keeps me out of being a BCS-buster. Not that I need to win a title, but a shot at a BCS bowl would be nice. Even undefeated I have no shot because of Conf. strength.

hmm boise state and tcu makes sense because no one is scheduling them but i could care less about those two. i think its more of a scheduling problem / computers don't make mistakes compared to irl counterpart. because you see big schools irl play other big schools but idk if OOC scheduling is correct because i doubt you see alot of ohio state - miami after a few years in

I can tell you the Michigan gets some love in the polls like it somehow in the programming of the game.

In first year of our online dynasty I only had the big ten ranked teams to beat, by time I got to the OSU game, I was ranked 1st in the country. Alabama and Nebraska hadn't lost a game but were below me overall. Alabama almost became 3rd because the Big 12 championship was between the number 3 and 4 times in the polls.
