The Gaming Tailgate NCAA Football 11 Recruiting Central

I really hope conference prestige changes this year. It really hurts recruiting IMO. The ebb and flow of conference strength needs to be better reflected in recruiting.

Yeah, you can swap SEC and Sunbelt teams and the SEC will still be an A+ while the Sunbelt will still be a D+ or whatever it is. Each school should have some kind of hidden "value" rating and when you add up all the values in the conference and divide it by the number of teams, that mean avg. should equate to a conference prestige grade.

Exactly! Let's say:

1. strength of previous years schedule
2. bcs BOWL bids / victories
3. N.C. BIDS

... Add whatever you like but one would think there could be a pretty simple formula used???
