Texas/USC will be one heck of a matchup. I think it boils down to which defense bends the least. Just hand the Heisman to Bush. Great year for Vince but the last two games by Bush were amazing.

That should be interesting to see. Ted had mentioned to me that our league game stats are not that far off from the real game stats. It's a shame that alot of people did not give this game the time or credit it deserves.

Looking forward to it, Brent... And, I am enjoying this version of NCAA Football very much. My only two gripes with the game are a lack of penalites, and dropped passes. Neither is a huge problem, though. And, occasionally I'll play one of those "no way that's possible" games. However, for my dynasty, I allow myself a "house rule" to not count those "bullsh*t" games where Navy throws 6 passes of over 80 yards for TD's, or whatever. I limit myself to 2 restarts per season, so I do use them wisely. Trust me, it helps keep my blood pressure down. I've nearly given up video gaming after a couple of those games!  Don't get me wrong, I normally take my losses like a man, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. For the record, I'm in my third season with the Zips, and my overall record is 14-15. I am turning the corner this year, though, and on my way to a contract extension at 5-1! 
So, in short, when playing out my Zips' bowl game, if you encounter one of those "bullsh*t" games, hit the restart, man!
Kevin

There is no shortage of penalties in the online games I have with
Jason, especially delay of game, and especially on Jason's team

Sounds like someone's still bitter over their recent loss to an inferior team . I am the king of 'delay of game' penalties though .
Kevin, I'm surprised that you're seeing alot of dropped passes. I haven't noticed that problem online or offline.

Xbox version... Had more problems with dropped passes last year, as well, than the PS2.
I'm completing about 40%. Granted, I don't have Steve Young back there, but I should at least be at 50% at this stage. Still working on it, though.

All games are played at 7 minutes on All-American with slightly tweaked sliders. Most games are played with default rosters. I will only tweak the major player injuries like Brohm not playing for Louisville due to injury. I will always be controlling the team I picked to win.
New Orleans
Southern Miss (6-5) vs. Arkansas State (6-5)
NCAA 06
First Half
The game started off with an int and fumble on ArkSt first two possesions which lead to a quick 10-0 lead. At the half the score was a shutout, 20-0 for SoMiss thanks to a 40yd FG by ArkSt that bounced off the goal post.
Second Half
ArkSt kept it close by using offensive formations not run in the first half. They were succesfull on a few options and even scored on a HB pass to a wide open reciever. Down 23-6 the ArkSt coach decided to go for 2 in an effort to keep it a 2 score game but failed. After scoring again to make it 23-13 they had monentum and picked off the SoMiss QB ahortly after. Unfortuantely for ArkSt turnovers once again cost them as they threw an int on a deep pass in the end zone early in the 4th qtr.
------------------------------------------------------
Final Score: Southern Miss 37 Arkansas St 19
