How can they mess this game up, its all about the pagentry of college sports. There are a few things that get all the die hards excited
Recruiting
National Signing Day
Spring Practice
The games them selves.
So there doesn't need to be any additional information spent on who uses who and a whole thing on it. Just have a little small stat bar because its not about who is your favorite school its about who is the best school. EA needs to focus on the gameplay first and foremost. They are doing better with recruiting, what about spring practice where your freshman who came in early wants to battle for a starting spot. Etc. Get the core of what college football is before you expand to other less meaningful things
