Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

I for one love that the same schools are not always in the top 10 each year. You have to look at coaching changes, transfers, schedules, recruiting, and where a team is ranked at the start of the season. ULL finished in the top 10 in year 4 so they had to start high. Maybe they lost games early so they were able to climb back up. There is a lot of factors that can play out to see the results you are seeing.

It is a video game after all!!!

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

Well, I can see small schools showing up in the top 10, but not so many after only 4 years... This should take some time to develop.

What I cannot understand is when a team wins the National Championship Game why they are not ranked #1 in the final polls. Or a team loses it's bowl game and moves from #4 to #3, although other top 6 teams won.

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

I think its pretty awesome. ULL seems to do well in a lot of franchise's. if they do well year 1, they often get a darn awesome coordinator to take over as HC(major applewhite in mine, who then got promoted the next year after 10 wins at ULL, to the HC gig at South Carolina)

sometimes teams rise, a coach goes in and can completely turn around a program. its nice to see the coaches actually matter to an extent. if you get a coach who can't recruit, you will end up falling in later years

ive seen remarkable consistency in the no name teams doing well, then having their coach get a promotion, or teams that deserve to be in the top 25 based on record even if YOU don't think so

ULL will rank high almost every year as they get a cakewalk schedule.

lot of things in this game need to be fixed. the top 25? meh. crazy things happen, Alabama won the national title the first 2 years in my dynasty, then just lost their undefeated year 3 to COLORADO STATE. things happen

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

I just hate the fact that the user teams in my online dynasty have 3 or 4 losses every year but are always in the top 10 week in and out.

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

I dont see nothing wrong with the rankings honestly

this aint the NFL players wont be there 8+ years

Maybe the recruits didnt pan out ...

I like when lower teams become good

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

I personally love seeing this. If this happened in year 1, I could see the problem. But these schools have had three years to build, and others have had three years to fold.

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

put the top four teams in a playoff after year 1. doesn't have to be perfect. just use the top four teams in the bcs standings, and randomly assign them to current BCS bowls, with just one more game added at the end for a championship.

now that EA might not be making an ncaa game anymore, they have little excuse not to patch this.

also OP, I agree with you. I don't think people really read your post. 1 loss USC did not win the championship after beating 2 loss nebraska IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

EA will be making College Football games for the next few years at least...so I don't know where you are getting your info from.

Re: Top 25 Rankings get Messed Up over Time

for the OP, are you sure USC didn't actually win the championship? I remember last year this would happen at times where One team would beat the other in the BCS NCG and not be ranked ahead of the team they beat, but when
you check the teams stats (like the last time they won a championship) it correctly had them listed as champions. Also, i haven't taken the time to look into it, but in real life, I believe there isn't an actual End of season bcs poll (there are other polls that do end of season rankings like the media and coaches polls), so the final BCS poll would show the rankings going into the BCSNCG and not after the game. That may be the case here.

Yes, USC won the national championship as it was shown in the team info screen (last title: 2016). This error never happend to me in NCAA 2013 so I guess I was lucky until now...
