    Why is MidTnSt playing in the Gator Bowl???

    6-6. Finished 3rd in the Sun Belt. And they are in the Gator. Meanwhile, Cincy, the BE champ is sent to the Motor City Bowl. Two teams w/losing 5-7 records went to bowls.

    Why can't EA get the simple stuff right?

    I dont understand Midd Tenn St or Cincy unless the big east was really bad in your dynasty, bu 5-7 could get into a bowl if there arent enough 6-6 and higher teams to fill all the bolw slots chances of that happening in real life are slim to none but possible.

      no way cinnci won the BE and went to the motor city, the BE champ has an auto-bid to the orange bowl vs the acc champ

        I'm telling you, Cincy had only 3 losses & went to Detroit. MidTn was in J'ville. This is on Ps2.

          Because that aspect of the game is broken and has been so for years.

          On the PS3 version of 2010, I just saw an undefeated Tulsa team and a one loss Cincinnati team playing for the BCS championship ahead of a one loss USC, Florida and Oklahoma. Complete BS.

          I love this game and play it all the time, but I see so many things that makes it appear as though the game designers don't know a damn thing about college football. Overall, it's a nice product but the list of seemingly simple things that need to be fixed in exhaustive.

          I guess that's the benefit of destroying your competition's ability to make a college football game. Just think how much better this game would be if they actually had someone pushing them.

            because Mid Tenn St is the bomb!

            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

              Last year in my dynasty, 10-2 (and #9) Notre Dame went to the Motor City bowl.

              Just have to deal with it, I guess.

                If this happened in the first year of the dynasty it would be crazy, however seeing an undeafeted mid-major in the national championship isn't that far away....could be this year with Boise St. if a few more top teams fall, there is no way Boise wouldn't be in...as for Cincy they are close this year also, top 15 right now also.

                So if you get Tulsa having 3 or 4 good years, why couldn't they play in BCS national champ?

                  Boise could go undefeated this year and everyone else could have 1 loss and they still wont get in. Their schedule is a joke. There are some FCS schools that play more quality teams.
                  If they want respect and want a chance they have to schedule a better non conference schedule. Their best game was the first game of the year so that does not help at all, but scheduling Bowling Green AND UC Davis OOC on top of a WAC conference that is non BCS and in a down year is not going to get them anywhere.

                  The logic in the game is a little messed up but what was cinci ranked? I believe that have to be in the top 17 or something to get that automatic bid.

                    Cincy won the Big East. The problems are:

                    -under no circumstances would a 1 loss Big East ever be ahead of a 1 loss USC, Florida, or Oklahoma, and

                    -Tulsa went from being unranked in the Pre-Season to #1 too easily.

                    This was the second year of my dynasty.

                      I think this is one area EA needs to pay attention.

                      The logic should be simple enough to program in. Just look at any preseason guide and they will tell you the tie ins.
