No excuse...except that this proves preseason rankings both realistically and in essence are BS.

I agree b/c he totally blew his assignment on that blocked fg vs app st.

Also... remember EA didn't make Brandon Graham. They made a similar player that has some of the characteristics of Graham. They can't reproduce him exactly for legal reasons (which have been discussed in these forums). I always get a kick out of the discussion that start when the game comes out. Usually it's something like: I can't believe Tim Tebow is a 92, he should be a 96. When in reality, Tim Tebow's not in the game, just someone modeled after him...

I think EA created him at LB first and then moved him to DE and thus making him a 99 ovr. On the PS2 version, he's an LB. I think Michigan decided to move him to DE while the game was being finalized and, in an attempt to make accurate rosters, EA moved him to DE and didn't realize that a ratings change would occur as well.
