As a matter of fact they are rated higher than about 13 teams in the Top 25. What is this based on? Yet Kansas, a team that went 12-1, returns 16 starters and won the Orange Bowl comes in at a 77OVR . I venture to say these may not be final but they are quite puzzling.

It's Classic EA. The ratings never make sense.

--Alabama is rated as good or higher than Auburn for the upteenth year in a row, even though Auburn has one of the winningest programs over the last 5 years and Bammer is hovering around .500 and coming off another stellar 6-6 season with a loss to a Sun Belt team.

--Florida who was about as stiff on defense as wet tissue paper gets an insane 94 rating on defense..making them into a virtual steel curtain in the game.

--Florida State sloshes through yet another .500 ish season and gets their annual EA hand job with a 94 overall, 99 on defense (99?! Are kidding me EA?) including a 92 on offense...an offense that was one of the worst in the nation this year.

--Ohio State gets trounced for the second consecutive year in the MNC game...and doesn't miss a beat with All 99s!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I could list 10000 other ones, but you get the drift. It's been like this for years.

That being said..at least now recruiting and custom rosters can come into play in Dynasties as opposed to being strapped with these for Online Leagues.
