NCAA Football 11 predicts Alabama vs Ohio State BCS Championship showdown

July 14, 2010 in News comments 9

We're still a couple of months out from the actual start of the NCAA football season but EA Sports has decided to go ahead and tell us the outcome. Guess we can just call the whole thing off now.

NCAA Football 11 hit stores yesterday and EA Sports has already simmed an entire season to predict who will win the BCS Championship. At the end of the season, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Ohio State Buckeyes emerged as the top two teams in the land and faced off.

    Georgia wins the SEC East?

    Even as a Georgia fan, I'm not betting on that to happen. Florida will probably win it, and I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee and South Carolina gave us some trouble as well.

    Alabama vs Ohio State in the championship sounds very plausible, but I hate to see a Big 10 team in it. The only reason Ohio State might go undefeated in the regular season is because it's such a horrible conference.

      Lol, typical SEC fan. At least teams in the Big12 and Big10 go play elite teams out side their divison. Over the past 5 years Ohio State has played Texas, USC and play the U this and next year. All the SEC does is play non conference cupcakes and beat up on each other trying to put out the assummption that the conference is tough. I wish they would put bowl games up north in cold weather so we could see how your "speedy" SEC does in our back yard instead of the Big 10 always playing their bowl gaames on the road.
      As a big 10 fan ill admit that currently its Big 12>SEC>Big 10>Mountain West> ACC>Pac 10>everyone else but the big 10 aint far behind

        Both times Ohio State played an SEC team in the BCSC, they lost by a large margin. If they were the best team in their conference both times, then obviously the rest of the conference must have been much worse. You typically only see the Big 10 and SEC meet in postseason play, so there's really nothing else you can base it on. Saying we're overrated based on the fact that bad teams pay us to play us is illogical. We would be idiots not to take the offer; it earns us money and gets us ready for conference play.

        As for the Big 12, I didn't say anything about them. I think they're on par with us. I wouldn't be surprised if Texas would have beat Alabama if it wasn't for McCoy's injury.

        And come on, no one wants to play up north in the middle of December or January lol. It's not like the players from up north have to get used to the heat, it still gets cold here like anywhere else. If anything, they have the advantage because they're used to much worse cold conditions.

          Name a bowl game in a Big Ten teams stadium or state.... thats right there are none. The Rose bowl is in USCs stadium. Fiesta in another Pac10 state, orange ACC/SEC state, sugar SEC state. Out of all our teams there is not one bowl game in their stadium. Minnesota use to have a shity 6 win team game b4 they got a new stadium now they have now.
          BTW the cupcakes dont pay you, you pay them half a million to beat on them.

          Why are you explaining to me where the BCS bowls are? All I said on the matter is that obviously no one wants to play or pay to watch a game up north in the middle of December or January. Like I said before, if anything the Big 10 players have an advantage at that time of year because they're more used to the cold. It can still get below freezing temperature in the south, it's not like it's hot all year round. If you think there's some reason besides that which would make playing down south harder then I personally think that's crazy.

          As for the cupcakes thing, are you sure about that? I've heard before that the cupcakes will typically pay the team first, but will get a portion of the ticket revenue afterward which typically totals more than they would get at their own home games.

          Im explaining where the BCS games are because they are always a road game for a Big 10 team. The reason for bowl games is to match two equal teams on a neutral feild to see who's best but the field is 1000+ miles from a one teams state and in the others team back yard but i expect SEC fans to not understand something like that because they havent played a good team on the road in 5 years.

          And who in their right mind doesnt like seeing two teams battle it out in the snow and harsh weather? Those are the most memorable games in college and pro, and when has any bcs bowl game been played in less than 50 degree weather? Doesnt really matter any way cause last year our top 3 teams OSU, Penn st and Iowa went 3-0 beating the pac 10 champ, the acc champ and the SECs 3rd best school LSU, while the "superior" SECs top 3 schools went 2-1 with wins over a Texas team whos best player left in the first quarter, a cinci team that won the worst BCS qualifiying divison in the Big EASy and a loss to penn st.

          I really don't think the location makes a difference in performance. It's still in a different stadium; it's not like a home game. Typically the ticket prices are so outrageous that rich Big 10 fans won't mind spending the extra money to fly down here anyway, so the team is still getting support (if that even makes a difference to begin with...). I went to the Capital One bowl in Orlando last year and there were quite a lot of Michigan State fans. It was kind of funny though, because they seemed more interested in their band at the halftime show than they did the football game lol.

          And yes, games with harsh cold weather are interesting to watch on TV, but I'm sure the ticket prices won't be nearly as high with fans knowing the weather has a 100% chance of horrid. No doubt some northerners see this as a mini-vacation.

        Oh god, putting the Big 10, Mountain West, and ACC ahead of the Pac 10? Dude, you really are clueless.

          lol name a team in the pac 10 thats top 15 material.
          USC-too many sanctions and too many young players.
          Oregon- half of their players are in jail
          And thats pretty much it. For the past 5 years everyone in the media has called them the Pac1 cause all they have are USC.
