Moore and Reshard Langford) plus two of their three best defensive linemen, and they get stuck with a 71 rating. If Ole Miss, who had 3 wins last year, is an 84, how is Vandy getting low 70s across the board when they had 5 wins in what was arguably the tougher half of the SEC?

Seems like Ole Miss has a mole in EA's ratings department as well LOL. How on earth are they so highly rated? Looks like Arizona is boosted as well...why?

I guess i probably shouldn't complain because Colorado is normally overrated on this game-i'm just mystified how they can drop in ratings after have a 4 win improvement and a bowl appearence. Strange.
