This game is realistic

So I got ripped off by the BCS. I am in year 3 of my Georgia dynasty, and after 2 10-3 seasons (and winning the Outback and Capital One Bowls), I brought in the #1 recruiting class and actually had an A+ overall rating. I had a tough schedule. I beat the pre-season #1 and defending national champion Tennesee, and unranked but A+ ranked LSU, and #15 South Carolina. I lost to #1 Florida 7-3, but came back and pounded #2 Auburn 62-21. I ended up going 11-1 and being #4 in the BCS for conference championship week. I didn't play in the SEC championship because Florida was undefeated in my division. Auburn upset them, and Nebraska upset #2 Texas in the Big 12 championship. With me being #4, I expected with 1 and 2 both losing, I'd play in the National Championship. Wisconsin moved to number one, but then Auburn moved from #7 to #2, leapfrogging me in process to play for the national title, despite the fact that not only did I beat them, I beat them by 40! But hey, at least it's realistic.

Angry Re: This game is realistic

I played as UofL in the first season played Ohio St
They were #1 and I was #2 in polls and BCS
Played them in the championship game win 37-27
Says I win the BCS Championship
I am waiting for the achievement to unlock for NC
and nothing
I look and in the polls Ohio St is still number 1
I was number 2 by 15 votes.

Re: This game is realistic

I ended up playig #6 A&M in the Sugar Bowl and winning by 38. Auburn beat Wisconsin to win the national title. That makes it worse. It's one thing when you beat the number 2 team, because #1 might kill you. But beat the national champs by 40! I finished #2 with 21 first place votes in the coaches poll (can't remember how many in the Media). When I did all my off season stuff, and started a new season, Auburn was preseason #1, I was #2, Florida was #3, South Carolina was #15, Tennessee was 17 and LSU was 24. That's some SEC dominance. And all three top teams scheduled to play each other, not even counting the conference title game.

It's funny though. For some reason going into my third year, with 5 ranked teams and the defending national champs, my "conference prestige" when from elite to excellant. It's back up to elite now. And my championship contender started at Great, and I now have it at Elite.
