    Notre Dame downgraded to a 5 star team in NCAA 12



    Check out Notre Dame on the far left. Can see that they have 5 stars out of 6 now probably due to lackluster seasons the last few years (no BCS wins, terrible in bowl games in BCS era, mediocre seasons). They used to be 6 stars based on their tradition and this is the first year that they have been downgraded.

    Makes you wonder where Michigan stands as well with their decline.

      There was already a pretty long, somewhat heated, discussion about this in the other thread between ND fans and others.

        Oh well, at least I had a picture right?

        Edit: I guess Michigan is now a 5 as well. Interesting.

          Honestly, they should have been a 5* this whole time. They haven't done anything spectacular in ages.

            Michigan or Notre Dame? Or Both? And if Michigan is a 5*, what is Appalacian State? (Kidding)

              I wouldn't necessarily say that about Notre Dame. 2005-2006 saved them a bit, but since then, they've earned those 5 stars easily. 07-10 was their first streak of 4 years where they didn't have at least a 9 win season. They've been borderline and that finally did it. Michigan, though, I don't know why they dropped so fast. They were fine until the last couple years. I'd have given Michigan one more year. If they only won 6 or 7 games max, they'd drop.

                Haha now that I see what you did there, I would say both. Rich Rod screwed up the Wolverines more than a coach should be allowed to screw up any team. Period. And App State would be a 6* FCS program, which should translate over to a 3* FBS school. No hard feelings for an impressive upset and historic game

                  FINALLY!!!!!!!

                  This is looooong overdue. The last time ND did anything to warrant a 6-star rating was....Nov of '06. That was a big game vs. USC, they got mauled, then slaughterd by LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Since then? NOTHING.

                        It's not hate if it is true. They were eh in the Fiesta Bowl against OSU and got killed in the Sugar by LSU. Since then, they've been around .500 and below and started improving a bit last year. In another thread, someone pointed out that ND is .560 the last 10 years (69-54). That's not 6-star quality at all. Auburn, who had a down period this last decade and people say shouldn't be 6-star, still managed 93-35. History should matter a bit, but what the Irish did 20+ years ago should matter a bit less than what they've done now. And what they've done this last decade says 5-star to me, tops.

                          Notre Dame's best bet for a resurgence is to join the Big East. Notre Dame's best bet to maintain as prestigious as they have been in the past is to join the B1G. Staying Independent, they will follow the same path they have been treading for some time now. We all see where that is going.

                            Trust me they will be fine this year. Apparently you haven't payed attention to their recruiting class.

                              That means nothing. Florida State has had one of the top recruiting classes ever year since 2005 and has one double-digit winning season. Your recruiting class means nothing if they don't translate to the college game and you don't know if they're going to.
