Which teams are you most excited to use?
I don't know about y'all, but I can't get NCAA 12 out of my head! I must've read those danged articles a thousand times, and there's no tellin' how many times I've watched the vids!
So what teams are you the most excited to use!? For my homer pick...
1) Auburn
I think EA will finally respect us this year. It's going to be great to see the depth that's been added to the roster finally be applied to its video game counterpart. Barrett Trotter (or whichever QB starts for that matter) should be at least an 87. In four years of coaching at the collegiate level, Malzahn has had FOUR different quarterbacks. Four. Here are their statistics:
2007-Tulsa
QB- Paul Smith passed for 5,065 yards and 47 TDs. Nearly twice what he threw for the year before Gus arrived.
RB- Tarrion Adams had 1,225 of Tulsa's 2,421 yards rushing.
2008-Tulsa
QB- David Johnson passed for 4,059 yards and 46 TDs.
RB- In a rare occurrence in Gus' career, he returned his starting tailback. Adams had 1,523 of Tulsa's 3,752 yards rushing.
2009-Auburn
QB- Chris Todd, with his surgically repaired arm, threw for 2,612 yards against a brutal SEC away schedule.
RB- Ben Tate led AU in rushing with 1,362 yards. AU had 2,756 total rushing yards.
2010-Auburn
QB- Cam Newton threw for 2,854 yards and was 2nd in the nation in passing efficiency.
RB- Newton led the team in rushing, but Dyer still had 1,093 of AU's 3,987 yards on the ground. Every Tiger back with 60+ carries averaged 6 yards or more per touch, while Onterio McCallebb averaged 9+ YPC.
Anyway, I just cannot wait to see Malzahn's new QB take the reigns. I am a huge dynasty player, and this is the perfect dynasty team with an already young cast as well as having to replace 4 of 5 OL with talented underclassmen. We'll have an absolute stable of RBs and WRs. It's gonna' be fun to say the least
I don't think they'll butcher Onterio's 84 speed again, either.
As for my non-homer picks...
1) Notre Dame
They should be much improved in YR 2 of BK's tenure, and should be a great team to counter the ever so often Buckeys in 'Play Now' mode.
2) Michigan
I love the fact that Al Borges is in charge of the offensive play-calling and they've moved back toward a more traditional, pro style O. I've been a fan of his ever since he led Auburn to a 14-0 record in 2004. Whoever his QB will be will be successful. Another great team to counter the Buckeyes.
3) South Carolina
Another fun dynasty team. They just picked up the #1 player in the country, too, so it'll be great to see how he advances throughout his collegiate career (Clowney).
4) TCU, Nebraska, Boise State, Utah
They are changing conferences, right? This'll be very fun
5) Florida State
Love their recent recruiting success. They'll be fun to use with all of their young, speedy talent.
6) Tennessee
Nice building project for dynasty mode.
7) LSU
Excited about Mettenberger. Their defense will be brutal as always.
8) Random small schools
Last but not least, the ultimate dynasty building teams. It'll be extra exciting in '12 with the new crowd sound affects/attendance ratios. Once I start building them up into a winner, it'll be very nice to see the fans starting to support us
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
