Team Ratings and Top 25 in NCAA Football 13

[SCClassof93]

How can any team that get bitchslapped 70-13 be rated higher than the team that bitchslapped them? Bowl game, smowl game, 70-13 is not a fuckin' fluke.

Are you a WVU guy? That is my second favorite team after that bowl game

(wherever he found the official defensive number at).

That would be "from EA"

But how the hell does 92 offense and 95 defense (even with a 97 special teams) equal 99 OVR?

Brad Wing = Instant 99.

Yup. Been a WVU guy since I was like 6.

yeah, these ratings are weird. Funny thing is, UofL's ratings are right around where I'd thought they'd be. Hope we got a top 25 nod in the game .

They really sould, your team probley got the big east in the bag for the next couple of years...

I was able to get some further info on how the OVR team ratings are calculated:

The OVR ratings are normalized. So for instance with WISC being a 99 OVR, it just means they are one of the top teams. It only takes starters into consideration (Wisc has the best HB in the game).

Now I would personally argue that they're still overrated but at least now we have a better idea of why the ratings are what they are.

Is this how OVR was calculated in previous versions as well? Starters only?

That, I'm afraid I don't know, but I would assume so.

No Louisville at like 24? eh. It's cool, probably a good thing for Dynasties that bans Top 25 teams.

Personally I don't understand how Boise St is a 6 star program. 5 star, absolutely. But IMO 6 stars should be reserved for programs that have a long history of excellence that are also currently a power. Alabama, USC, etc... Obviously just my take.

Actually, from that video, they're a 5-star. I'm curious if there aren't several mistypes relaying that information from the video to text form.

Oh ok... Yeah, I had several rounds of back and forth between me, EA, & the tradition guys yesterday trying to straighten that out. Wouldn't surprise me if there's quite a few errors in the text form.

[JBHuskers]

Like Notre Dame? Didn't that table say it was a 6-star school?

[psusnoop]

Both Boise and ND I could see as 5 stars not 6.

[Kwizzy]

Both Boise and ND I could see as 5 stars not 6.

Exactly, to me there should be 2 criterea for a 6th star... History of excellence & current/recent success. Nebraska, Penn St, Boise, ND, etc... all are missing a component of that.

[morsdraconis]

Boise State is a program, but Notre Dame is definitely a program (in the game, that is).

[Little Steve]

Yah! Ohio State is in the top 25, its not like they had a bad season last year... wait they did. well the offence was in the top 100 last year.... wait it wasn't. Well they played great D last year.... NO. well at least they have a great QB you can throw the ball well.... nope.how the fuck are they in the top 25?
their is no chance in hell they're gonna win the big ten. at most 8 wins overall.
