First noticed this at Land Grant Holy Land, and now I see the mothership has something up on it as well.
EA Sports - NCAA Football, the video game. I bought the 2012 version, but honestly, I haven't played it that much, THAT MUCH being compared to all the games where I get to blow things up and kill. Maybe if they made a football game where I got to not only beat Wisconsin, but blow them up and kill them, I'd be in.
The team ratings for NCAA Football '13 have been leaked by Tradition Sports Online, the full list available after the jump.

There are a couple of things here that immediately jump out. First - Texas as a 99 overall. This isn't even about hating Texas (which is so two years ago, y'all), but uh, wut?
Second - Nebraska's offense is ranked higher than its defense. Fact is, it's probably true, but it has to make you ask what the Bo Pelini is going on?
Other Big Ten counterparts - Wisconsin at 99, Michigan State at 93, Michigan at 97, Ohio State at 95 and then you have Iowa at 91?
Prestige - Notre Dame is at 6. Nebraska is at 5. Dear EA Sports guys - you can kiss my ass.The Fighting Irish are even more of "has been" than Nebraska, and we're ranked in the top five in all time wins. I can understand why you put Auburn up there (well, not really) because they recently won a national title. But Notre Dame?
Gameplay - I haven't played '12 as much as Battlefield 3 or Skyrim, but I enjoy the "Road to Glory" part of the game. I keep being a quarterback despite being really not that good at it.
