Bleacher Report Runs a full NCAA '14 Season Simulation...

Best second string RB in the country? #WeismanForHeisman

I actually had Barry Sanders as my backup to Bo. But I don't get their ratings as they are favoring more recent players in my opinion.

Bo is a rating of 85, but then last night right before I quit playing I got Jamaal Charles and he has a rating of 94. I am sorry but I don't think Charles was better than Bo, let alone that much better.

I have always thought Bleacher Report was the finest sports information media outlet in the world... This just confirms it.

I love to tailgate before the simulation games. Good times!!!

9-4? I have not lost a game as the Hawks on NCAA since 2005. I quit playing in 2011 after I finished the 2025 season with my defense holding the opposition to -78 yards a game. Good times....

The simulated beer sucks though.

Surprised this hasn't been posted on CF and a full boycott of video games hasn't begun in Lames.

Nah, nobody's playing EA sports games in Ames. A lot of World of Warcraft going on up there.

They must be using the Bo after he ripped his hip off.

Found out yesterday there is a better version of Bo in the game, which subsequently is a 99 overall. That makes more sense.

Yes but simulation drunk is awesome because there's no hangovers!

 

[mrolympia]

where do I sign to go 9-4?

I smell a bit of buckey bias in that simulation. Making Iowa look good, makes OSU look good. sniff sniff.

Lol

 

[NCHawker]

we're back.

Football games have gone downhill ever since Super Tecmo Bowl...

NCAA '07 was damn fun

 

[ohhawk]

That's exactly the same result I got in my simulation I ran last weekend.......and we ended up going to the Rose Bowl to play USC. I'm really looking forward to this season now.

 

[taffaej]

And the results for Iowa are outstanding!

So this years game has a fantasy them?

EA Sports' NCAA Football 14 Simulates the Upcoming College Football Season | Bleacher Report

Iowa ends up going 9-4 and pulls the upset win giving tOSU their only loss on the season and preventing them from going to the BCS title game. Iowa ends up in the Cap One bowl and then proceeds to beat down Florida.

Yes please...

Some of the details in there are interesting:

Heisman runner up Jordan Lynch (QB, Northern Illinois): 2,978 passing yards, 1,006 rushing yards, 48 touchdowns". Is NI one of our 4 loses?

Arkansas at the bottom of the SEC.

I think ISU's fate has already been discussed.

I guess we lose the head to head w/ the Spartans - Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Texas 24, Michigan State 13

And the Black Friday match up - Outback Bowl: Nebraska 38, Missouri 31 - But it must be close, probably in overtime for the Cap 1 people to take Iowa.

So, who are the other two? Is the entire sim results out there somewhere?
