I scoured TeamBuilder to find the top players at the big 3 positions. I made 92 OVR the cutoff. Sorry if I misspelled any names or omitted any players on accident.

Possible ECU homerism by the dev team?

I don't see homerism. Dominique Davis is the real deal. Transfered from Boston College to Fort Scott CC and then to ECU where he passed for a school record 3,957 yards and 36 TDs.

94 may be a tad high, but not unreasonable.

Oh ok, I didn't do any research. I just saw 2 ECU guys rated highly and was like WTF?

None of the dev team went to ECU, so it can't be homerism.

Plus, as it's been documented in about 14 threads, if they really suffered from a case of the "homers" with ECU... they'd have put their new stadium add-on in the game and as I learned today, their new pants.

Excited to see Dan Persa rated at a 92, I might start my CC as Northwestern's Offensive Coordinator.

That does bring up a good point. Where did the dev team go? I mean I've see the Florida State homerism and Auburn, but where exactly did they go?

Look at the credits on NCAA 11 or was it NCAA 10. It list their name along with the school logo they graduated from. From memory most of them went to the following schools:

Florida State
Florida
Auburn
Michigan
Ohio St
Penn St
Texas
Michigan St
Georgia
North Carolina
Alabama

QB

Case Keenum, Houston- 95

Perhaps I am mistaken, but wasn't Keenum a 97 last year??? How does he drop 2 points when gaining an extra year of eligibility because of an injury?

Stretched out ratings

Stretched out ratings

I'd tend to second the stretched out ratings idea. Someone else pointed out Jordan Jefferson from LSU dropping 2 points from last year to this year.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully recruits come in a little lower. I was looking at the top freshmen quarterbacks and they all are rated somewhere between 70-75

Like others have said, the stretched ratings. Had they not done this, then Miami would have over 10 guys with 90 overall ratings because they were filled with the last year and had young guys in the high 80's, but instead they have like 3 or 4. I like it though.

CK's awareness dropped from 90 to 88, and accuracy went from a 97 to a 93. Not a big deal.

One other note: WR Patrick Edwards (92 ovr) is the kid who suffered a gruesome broken leg in a game at Marshall in 2008. I think it's safe to say he bounced back from that.

Darron Thomas and Landry Jones have the same OVR??

[Fightin_Gobbler]

Re: The top QB's, HB's and WR's in the game

I'm biased but they are missing the boat on David Wilson of VT. Has a great chance to be ACC POY.

Yep, because of Thomas running attributes boosted his OVR
