I voted for Cosmo too. This thread made me remember how mad I was with BYU's rating on last years game so I just sent the following message to EA Sports:
"I sure hope you spend a little more time researching the team ratings for the upcoming edition of NCAA Football. The last two years you have greatly underestimated BYU. They have gone 11-2 over the last 2 years and they are returning all of their stars on offense. They will be ranked in the top 25 to start the season and I hope this year you will rank their team accordingly.
Last year (08) you had them ranked as a 69! I think even you would have to admit that is terribly low, especially when you rank teams like SDSU and Duke as 80's. btw- BYU beat SDSU 48-27 last year. BYU has not lost a conference game for 2 years and I would expect this next year they are easily rated the top team in the conference, and not the worst like in years past.
I have bought every EA NCAA game for the last 5 years, but if you continue to give such horrendous ratings to the Cougars I will have to take my game buying dollars elsewhere."
If I wasn't so cynical, I probably wouldn't think this.... but, I bet part of their ranking formula is how many people like a certain team. You sell more when you make your customer's happy. I wonder..... Where's Airwolf with his conspiracy theories?
