I came across this some time ago but I just keep on forgetting to post it...

So for those who enjoy playing some college football on a video game console, or who are looking for a point of debate on the seemingly arbitrary ratings that EA Sports and 2K Sports come up with for team ratings in their sport games (really...$C has a rating of 99 out of 100?), here are the team ratings for the Pac-10 teams:

	Overall	Offense	Defense
Arizona	84	86	82
Arizona State	86	88	87
Cal	81	79	85
Oregon	81	81	82
Oregon State	77	75	80
Stanford	74	79	76
UCLA	81	83	82
USC	94	90	99
Washington	79	81	80
Washington State	77	77	78

The offense and defense ratings, I believe, take into partial account the every single offensive and defensive player's individual ratings, while overall also accounts for special teams. I'm pretty sure there's something else factored in there, but I think it's just something arbitrary. Anyways, the full ratings were released on the web back in May and the game isn't released until next Tuesday, so there was some time to give/take from the ratings.

I just wanted to bring up an interesting point of discussion and debate with the ratings since it's always been something debatable on the gaming discussion boards that I frequent. A final note: I do think that they hit the nail right on the head by placing our overall rating in the middle of the Pac-10, albeit the offense and defense ratings are just...wrong.
