Trying to fill the void until the 2013 Football season, I’ve started a project using EA’s NCAA 13. I will be simulating players based on where I believe they will be placed at the beginning of the season as I feel a few individuals will be inserted into the lineup as the fall progresses. This goes for their player ratings as well. Please don’t rip me for the starting lineup – that is not the point of the exercise. I would like to hear your feedback on the player ratings and will edit them accordingly.

Keep in mind these numbers are projected talent levels nearly seven months from now after the players have gone through spring ball and summer conditioning. This first release will include the starters, and later I hope to crack the two-deep. I am only listing overall rating (out of 100) because there are too many individual stats to list.
