Getting a late start here this year, but I don't think I did it at all last year. This is different than my during the season simulation, based upon a season in the past. I was hoping to use NCAA 25 for that, hoping that you could edit rosters to move players to other teams, like you can in Madden, to do it with kids playing for the teams they originally played for.you can't edit players or even create players at all in NCAA 25. haven't played video games in years and I bought an Xbox just to buy NCAA 25- and have to say it's pretty underwhelming. had sky high expectations and it just falls short on so many levels. was thinking it'd be 10/10, more like 6/10. it's a massive disappointment but it makes sense coming from EA Sports- as Madden has sucked for like ever.
Half of FSU's team is out for Week 2, due to health problems caused by kissing the Blarney Stone.That's what Bobby Bowden calls his nethers
Welp, Week 1 was pretty brutal for the Big Ten. Lost all 3 matchups against other P4 teams, and suffered 2 upsets to G5 teamsOuch
DOWN goes Louisiana-Monroe! In your face, Warhawks!Those are hawks of war. I see how little some Texans think of the avian troops.
We're #1, We're #1, We're #1!!!!
This thing does not like 2024 Wisconsin at all.I mean losing at home to LSU and on the road at USC isn't the worst indictment
It's Bama, not LSU.You don't just walk into the hornets nest which is the tarped off Coliseum...
I think they will beat USC. Paper tiger.
The smog in LA gives the home team a 6-10 point advantage, easy.You mean that midwest Big Ten air?
I find the polls to be amusing, and I agree with what is shown above. UGA at #2 falls to #10 losing on the road at #5, then climbs to #8 after beating a mediocre team at home. Same team, bouncing in the polls, as usual.Yeah, I'm trying to replicate somewhat how the voters tend to respond
WEEK 9 POLLhangin in there, I'll take it23. NEBRASKA (6-2) 18
WEEK TENOhio State's schedule this year is the worst of both worlds. They'll get fairly dinged for playing a "weak" slate because the three OOC's are body-bags and yet they could be the best (or one of the best) teams in the nation and still easily lose at least twice. They have three top-ten opponents and two of them are on the road.
- #11 PENN STATE d. #7 OHIO STATE
[img width=274.381 height=500]https://i.imgur.com/6KL0dTP.png[/img]At 3-2 and with losses to both 5-0 PSU AND 5-1 Oregon the Buckeyes would need all kinds of help.
no worriesOh, I get it. In the 12-team CFP world, two losses isn't devastating. That is nice if the above comes to pass but it also changes my life-long way of viewing the games in a way that I don't like.
perhaps pull the #5 seed in the playoff
This is about what I think UGA will do this year, probably 10-2, I'm not so sure of course about LSU. It's fun.Heh, this is why I always try to finish before the season starts.

damn, didn't get 9 winsFire Rhule!
