NCAA Football '22 Ratings + Updated Depth Chart

For one of our fellow posters...I'll take a crack at it.

And as I mentioned in the other thread, people will undoubtedly get mad because the bench is too good.  A reminder for the youngins who never really grew up on NCAA...the ratings system was ALWAYS too condensed. If you had a player below 73 at a school like Michigan...you may as well cut him. It was way too easy to recruit over those guys.

Years later, Madden finally "stretched" it's ratings to make it more realistic, but NCAA never got to that point.

Low 3* = 72, 3* = 74, High 3* = 75, 4* = 76-79, 5* = 80-84.

Now I'll put a guy like Will Johnson (or JJ last year) as an 84, because they were early enrollees...something NCAA never had. So if Will Johnson was an 82 or 83 when he showed up...by all accounts, he's better today. With that in mind, not my best work, but I've given it a fair go. Without NCAA, I don't have nearly the feel for what the national landscape looks like, so in my head I'm saying things like "okay, Henderson at OSU is probably a 96, Corum should he a 93." That, and just basing it off experience from previous years.

Overall, we have a first unit that can play with anyone in the country. Our depth is very "solid B1G team," good enough to win the league, but it's not at a CFP level (except WR).

BRING BACK THE GAME! (sooner)
