Don't blame the game - blame the powers that be in the NCAA that hold on to this asinine and archaic bowl system to determine a national champion. How do you expect EA to program such an outlandish system correctly?

Well although the system in real life is a piece of crap I think EA/Tib should be able to fix this problem that has been around forever. If they are able to rate the strength of your schedule and are able to keep track of the polls they should be to code around those variables to get a better poll (along with w/l record). Seeing 2-4 and 0-3 teams ranked is a joke (almost always USC and VT in my dynastly).

Year 2

After Championship Week

Oregon Ranked #1 in both polls, SOS is #17

Penn St. Ranked #2 in both polls, SOS is #28

Boise St. Ranked #3 in both polls, SOS is #103


BCS TITLE GAME
Penn St vs. Boise St.?????????!!!!!!!!!

BCS HAD THE DUCKS 3rd?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


Pac 10 was the 3rd Best Conf while the Big Ten was the 2nd and Boise St. Conf was THE WORST OVERALL???!?!?!?!?!?


SOS means nothing I guess.....In Year 10 Memphis went 13-0 with a SOS of 102 and played in the BCS Title Game...

NCAA 10= Epic Fail

Re: What's the Craziest Thing You've seen in the Polls?

Yeah, I had screwy results in my first season as well. NC was between Texas and USC....which sounds good at first. But both teams had 2 losses. Oklahoma St. went 11-1, beat Texas and won the big 12. Oregon won the Pac 10 with an 11-1 record and whipped USC.

I didn't think anything could possibly be more Eff'ed up than the real BCS...but EA managed to do it.

Epic fail is an understatement. That is just beyond ridiculous.

Re: What's the Craziest Thing You've seen in the Polls?

The polls are not fixed in any way (like they said they were going to be)

My Example:

Florida (13-0) vs TCU (12-0) in the National Championship game.

TCU miraculously jumps both Texas (12-1, Big XII Champs) & Georgia Tech (12-1, ACC Champs)...
