Based on all the UCF grads that are working at Tiburon, the company that develops the game.

Wow, I see a lot of conspiracy theorists. You really think USF is ranked lower than UCF because they have graduates working at EA? Are you serious? They have people from all around the country working at EA, from craploads of different colleges.

That being said, no way in hell that FIU is better than us.

Really, they are in orlando and have a partnership with UCF's computer graphics arts and gaming program. A large percentage of staff at the company came from UCF. UCF is ranked higher every year even when they have lost the majority of their games and don't beat ranked teams. No conspiracy, just facts. UCF'ers cannot beat us on the field, so they would rather take jabs on the internet and via games. Heck, read their boards....

USF has been a better program the 4 times we have played UCF, even in off years for us.

I know a lot of people that work at EA. I can all but guarantee that is why USF is ranked lower than UCF. If you spoke to one of them for half an hour, you'd agree.

Really, I'm not so sure that the USF ranking is that incorrect as much as they consistently rank UCF far higher than it should be.

We use our imagination a lot as fans, this isn't imagination.

EA here in Orlando is full of UCF people. Believe what you want but that's a large reason as to why USF gets crapped on in the game. Recall that video for NCAA '12 where USF was getting the crapped kicked out of it by mousetown u.

The ranking is incorrect when UCF is ranked ahead. Bottom line, we kicked the crap out of them 4 times. We play in a tougher conference. We have had wins (more than 1) against ranked teams. We beat FSU, UM, Auburn, etc.. UCF has done none of that. They should never, ever, not ever be ranked ahead of USF for any reason until they are worth a crap. They have proven nothing. BE will spank them, even without a few of the tougher opponents who have moved on.

So what? It's their game, their rules. The USF market isn't big enough to force them to play it straight, just yet.

Incidentally, the NCAA team isn't all that large. Even the Maddon team is only about 50 folks, if I recall correctly. That includes testers and artists, etc. The NCAA team was smaller until the past year.

Bottom line is that there are probably a half dozen people or less that decide and/or review the team and player ratings. As long as the Crimson Tide and Longhorn's of the world are happy, EA management isn't going to force anyone ot make sure all the ratings are realistic and unbiased.

I believe the conspiracy. NCAA makers all wear mouse goggles (ears?)

If you guys ever play through a dynast, it's funny because about 3 years in you'll notice UCF is usually a powerhouse. Them and Troy.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
