I agree with every team you said, except for Pittsburgh. I'm not saying this just because i'm a WVU fan, but Pitt should be no higher than B-

FSU in the teens? They should and will be top 10. And OSU won't be unranked at the end of the year, just on this game. We will win 8-9 games next year.

You say OSU a 6-7 losing season team coming off last year gets a A

While Florida a team who beat OSU gets a B?

I smell a homer big time. OSU and Florida both should be in the B's and no higher than 15 IMO...

This. The talent level at Ohio State has become laughable lately. Look at their skill position players, they finished 3 from last in passing last year, only ahead of 2 service academies. Needless to say, Urban Meyer will get their talent level back up to par. They should be a C+ offense and B+ defense in this years game.

B+ defense.... OK. They went 6-7 with a bad offense starting a freshman QB. Interm HC, and 5 star players lost. Theres no way the O is rated lower than a B, and the defense will be an A- at least.

Yea i missed on Florida, they should be an A- based on talent. I cant believe so many of you think Ohio State should suck because of one bad turmoil filled year. They got Urban Meyer! If he could dominate in the SEC and win 2 titles, then I'm sure the 10+ win seasons will continue.

I'd like to know how OSU's talent is laughable. Thats like saying Auburn's talent was laughable after Newton and Farley left, Or Texas talent is laughable because of a bad 6-7 season. It happens. Great programs have bad years. That doesn't mean they will fall apart. Usually inexperience plays a big part in it.

Notice at the end of my post, I said I was guessing on these. This is my guess as to what we will see come July. Not like these are my personnel opinions of the teams.

When you're 125th in the country in passing and don't have a stud RB AND you lost your 2 best linemen, I think C+ is fair. They won't actually give them that rating though, it'll probably be a B-. I said that they will reload now that Meyer is there, but the last few Tressel recruiting classes weren't good and the lack of skill players has been evident for a couple years now.

I never said they were bad I'm just saying its funny how some think a 6-7 who lost a bit of players will by magic turn around a be a A rated team...

They will get there but if you have OSU rated that high then Florida should to because Florida was rated a bit higher in offense and defense by seasons end am also return alot of players plus they beat the Buckeyes

I'm not sure what OSU lost of defense but if they did lose a bit then maybe a B+ is right.

UF, Offense - B-, B
Defense- A-

OSU, Offense- B-, B
Defense- B+

IMO

They lost Andrew Sweat on defense, thats basically it. They will have one of the best defenses in the B1G this season.

Florida is def very good, and has just as much if not more talent than OSU. In my first post those were my guesses at what EA will rate the teams. Loss in Gator bowl wasn't cause by the O, it was terrible special teams. They deserved to lose.

When have they ever rated the following a C+ in ANY category:
Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, LSU, Texas, USC, Oklahoma... I could go on..... they just don't do it.

If you hate on Ohio State.. thats your right. But don't act like one crappy season makes them a C+ offense, your delusional. That "JV" offense managed to still win 6 games and only be beaten badly in 2 losses. For a team thats owned their conference for over a decade, a C+ sounds foolish.
