TCU's last five seasons (including bowls): 13-0, 12-1, 11-2, 8-5, 11-2

Yeah, TCU earned a 5 for sure.

How does Notre Dame only get a B on defense? Did they totally ignore the last four games of the season?

my thoughts exactly. top 15 front 7 in college football

Not only that but the super recruits on the D Line and linebacking corps they just brought it

Re: NCAA Football 12 Team Ratings and Prestige Revealed (Tradition Sports Online)

I agree with you guys on that. Their front seven and the recruits they just hauled in are great. I am sure the roster makers will correct this

Well if the recruits play really well then they will boost the team back up to a 6* with wins in the coming seasons. ND is really bad right now, there is no denying that. When you haven't been in contention for as long as it has been you drop. They have the tools to get right back to a 6* though. Great recruiting ratings.

Since 2008 they have struggled but they are still one of the top teams (tradionally) in the nation. I counted 21 teams ranked as a 6 or 5 star. In most list, Tennessee would be a top 20 program at the least. Prestige is not meant to rate the overall talent level of the team now.

BTW, I also like Arkansas State and I'm really looking forward to using them in the game.

Don't get me wrong, the VOLS are my boys, but last I checked tradition doesn't win ball games. Sadly, we got rid of a good coach and replaced him with a loser who only stayed for a few games.

I like Dooley and think he can bring the program back, but the program has a ways to go to get back to where it was even 5 years ago. I agree with the 4 star prestige, our program is in shambles right now by Traditional Tennessee standards.

I agree one thousand percent.

I agree with the 4 star rating too. If you compare the 90's with what they have done this decade then you would see the noticable drop. They've had promising seasons only to get the short end of the stick. They've also had some dismal seasons this decade too. I agree that Dooley can get the job done, the university needs to give him time.

Missouri deserves a 5* prestige more than Tennessee since it's based off the games you win and Missouri doesn't even deserve a 5* until they win a conference championship. Yes I know Tennessee has a better history, but prestige is based on the present in the game.

Last 5 years
Tennessee 37-28 overall 1-3 in bowl games
Missouri 48-19 overall 2-3 in bowl games

That's a good point Gloves. Also, I believe Mizzou has produced more NFL first rounders than UT in that time span too (could be wrong)

Yep I believe they have. Here's the number of first rounders for the last 3 years, not sure about the 2 years before.

Alabama-7
Missouri-5
Florida-5
Oklahoma-4
California-4
USC-4
Tennessee-3

Baylor is about what I thought as far as grading goes.
Overall - B
Offense - B +
Defense - B-
Special Teams - B

They are "ranked" 43rd best and are 5th best in the Big 12. The teams they are ahead in the Big 12 are Tech (suprised about that one) Kansas St, Kansas and
Iowa State. It's nice to see Texas not in the top 5.

I'm still trying to figure out how my Nittany Lions are an A on offense. We lose out leading rusher for the last 4 years, our quarterbacks weren't great. Paul Jones was the best quarterback on our roster and he redshirted, but he obviously won't effect the ratings too much.

B+ at best on offense for us.

Re: NCAA 12: TSO breaks down all 120 teams ratings and prestige

Several ND fans out today! I fully expect the haters to come out in full force to combat such positive talk.

I think ND is going to be pretty dang solid this year. I'm excited to see Mr. Lynch line it up

Re: NCAA 12: TSO breaks down all 120 teams ratings and prestige

Come on slick.....it's not that people have a problem no matter what. Be realistic man, not every school has a B+ defense. There are good schools, take Arkansas recently, who really had pretty medicocre defenses (C,C+, or B- tops) that are still good teams. I don't like how EA inflates everything year in and year out.

Online Dynasty will be the same this year as last....in the fourth season every user team will have a stable of 99s and then there will be a dropoff for everybody in year 5

We finished around 32 in total D last year and were 2nd in the SEC in sacks and TFL...I think B+ is about right with 7 starters returning and a lot of seniors

next year is a different story however...
