Simulation Upsets... Is there a fix yet?

Fellas I understand 1 loss teams, and the once in a lifetime two loss team making it once in a while but not 3 loss teams. Just isn't realistic.

I've only seen a 3 loss team in their like 1 or 2 out of a lot of sims lol

C'mon the Top Ten is littered with 2 and 3 loss teams every season. IN real life you may get a couple 2 loss teams from 4 - 10.

It ruins a season when your a team like bama, lsu etc. and your getting ready for a big game and the other powerhouse has lost games to non-bcs schools.

The only realistic way to do it is manually simulate most weeks but leave a few weeks open for upsets. Conference games can go either way, so those should be left alone. Upsets happen.

I fixed my own personal roster and coach prestige ratings so that I get similiar performance results with whats happening in real life.

Most of the top ten teams in my sims are the same ones that are Top 10 in the BCS right now (give or take a loss or 2 but within the same ballpark you would expect them to be) Alabama doesnt lose to Michigan in week 1 anymore. Alabama, Oregon, Kansas ST, Florida, Notre Dame, LSU, and Georgia almost always land in top 10 during season one.

I adjusted Coach prestige ratings so that they reflect how good/bad a coach is doing this season in real life, regardless of their coaching past.

Ive tested dozens of sims the past few weeks, and Im pretty impressed and happy with the results.
