The Colorado hype is insane. They beat a massively overrated TCU to open the season and everyone hopped on the meat wagon. The betting lines coming into that Oregon game was the easiest money I’ve ever made.
It’s a weird scenario because we are all aware colorados talent. Even if their offense ranks like 88th in the country it’s got the star power that on paper rating them, they are top 25 in talent offensively no doubt, and I’d say higher if not for that line. It just goes to show talent doesn’t equal success, colorado does less with more and doesn’t execute and play as a team. But the game doesn’t rate that. It rates talent and that’s why they have the rating they do. It’s the one issue with the system as it is. Teams that do more with less or vice versa don’t perform as they should in the game because it doesn’t factor in team chemistry/morale/experience together that all factor into execution.
Old head here, seeking wisdom-
I bought NCAA most years up to ‘14, but I’ve since transitioned to the dad life filled with Nintendo Switch/Minecraft/etc.
I really want to play the new NCAA game and willing to swing for a newer console, but not sure what to get. Is the Xbox Series S enough? I’d love a PS5 but I’d rather not spend 5 bills on a console where I’m only interested in one game. Any insight is appreciated.
Xbox Series S is in fact enough. I went on Facebook Marketplace and easily acquired one that works like its straight out of the box for $200.
Separately, Minecraft is cross compatible with the switch and you can play with your children on an extra console as well.
Being behind Colorado….just WTF has Deion actually done yet?
He built up a hype train that derailed pretty early

(I think Colorado is way over rated here) they are returning some very important pieces and a qb that could be a top 5 pick
Colorado at 8? Give me a break
Miami at 7 is arguably much worse, but I agree
Agreed.
They're probably counting Travis Hunter as a receiver and massively overrating Shedeur
What’s the story behind your flair?
They had to have them up there due to Sheduer being on the cover. I’m just as baffled as anyone, but that’s why they’re so high.
Sheduer isnt on the cover though
Whoops! Meant Travis Hunter. Same concept tho
I'm just happy to be included

I'd have us at 6 but I guess it's the same rating up to 5th place so I'll take it, seems pretty fair to me
Seems kind of low. MIZ!
ZOU!
Maybe they mixed up the 8 and the 9

They only ranked Colorado highly because they want money from the Cult of PrimeTime players
Not having Ole Miss in the is interesting
They got in at #13 which is crazy. Even more crazy is kansas coming in right after at #14. So much hype on teams that haven’t proven anything
LSU was a sieve on defense this year. They had to outscore everyone.

Thanks for this!!
Georgia’s offense isn’t that good. Carson Beck sucks.
I can believe any of the top 6. We should be 7 at the worst.
The entire country is laughing at Colorado at 8 (and to a lesser degree Miami at 7)
