NCAA 2008 ratings predictions...

I guarentee you that JJ will be the only Bama back with a rating of at least 80. I'm not saying that's the way it should be but it's what think will happen. I'll post my predictions later. I have to think about them for a while.

I think the RBs will be rated lower mainly because they aren't proven yet. I think Hall might be an impact player on D and maybe a little higher rated b/c of his Freshman AA honors.

~~~~~~~~~~OFFENSE~~~~~~~~~~~~

B+ or A-

JPW 88
Andre 90

~~~~~~~~~~DEFENSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overall 86

Gilberry 94
Motley 83
Greenwood 87
Knight 84
hall 86
Mustin 84
ROLB is going to be a toss up... who had the most snaps in Aday? Collins?
Johnson 84
carter 85
castille 95
mitchell 87

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KICKERS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overall 90 (This is the overall with Kickers, Punters, and Returners)
A-

Christensen 92
fitzgerald 83

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RETURNER~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main attributes to the Returners is Speed, Acceleration, Catching, and Elusiveness. If these numbers are really high with a player, no matter the other stats, than the returners numbers will be sky high. These numbers are always different than their official position stats.
From what I can remember, EA doesnt focus on the returners when creating their roster. I am almost certain that EA allows computer select who has the highest of the above said stats.

The only 4 I could think of would be
Arenas 90
Hall 94
Grant 88
Stover 93

I wouldnt be surprised to see DJ and Nakita as the return men this year, even though that wont happen at the real BDS.






This would make a wonderful tidefans.com contest!!!!! Dont make it about players because EA sometimes puts players in spots that never see the field. make it about positions.
I.E.
QB1 88
QB2 80
This would be an excellent contest for the summer!!!!!!!

The contest would work off a points system.... add up how many numbers somone is off on the O (QB guess= 99 QB actually= 95, then person gets 4 points) and how many numbers someone is off on the D. The same for the Kickers

Add together and divide by 3.
Whoever has the lowest number wins!
If their is a tie?
Pick the two returners that EA will select.

If this contest were to become popular enough it would force EA to focus on creating better stats. They said Fantasy Football would be a fad....
It would be nice for EA to pour some serious consideration into the Depth Charts. I remember 2 years ago tim castille was a 93 and leron mcclain was an 87....





Bamafan37 you are probably dead on with wilson's speed. EA doesnt know his speed, but I think it should be at lest a 74
