I figured we could post progress of our online season in this thread and keep a nice record of our exploits.  I think we should post the games in the ladder you created as well since we have a pretty even matchup as far as difficulty is concerned.

Jason is choosing Indiana University of the Big Ten.  He has his work cut out for him this season with a Strength of Schedule rating of .1406.  He also will be taking over a team that went 3-8 last year (1-7 in conf).  Check out his schedule!

Indiana: 4-7

Indiana: 28 @ Central Michigan: 14

Indiana: 10 vs Kentucky: 21

Indiana: 7 @ Wisconsin: 0

Indiana: 20 vs Illinois: 14

Indiana: 17 @ #11 Iowa: 21

Indiana: 17 vs #6 Ohio State: 20

Indiana: 13 @ Michigan State: 28

Indiana: 28 vs Minnesota:23

Indiana: 22 @ #4 Michigan: 24

Indiana: 20 vs #15 Purdue: 40

Indiana: 28 @ Kentucky: 42

Ted is going with University of Kentucky in the SEC this year.  Thought Jason had it rough?  Kentucky strength of schedule rating is .2006.  Last year they were 2-9 (1-7).  Kentucky has the following schedule:

Kentucky: 5-6

Kentucky: 28 vs #12 Louisville: 21

Kentucky: 21 @ Indiana: 10

Kentucky: 6 vs #10 Florida: 21 

Kentucky: 21 @ South Carolina: 51

Kentucky: 14 @ Ole Miss: 20

Kentucky: 31 vs Mississippi State: 21

Kentucky: 10 vs #16 Auburn: 47

Kentucky: 21 @ Vanderbilt: 42

Kentucky: 15 @ #13 Georgia: 31

Kentucky: 35 @ #3 Tennessee:23

Kentucky: 42 vs. Indiana: 28

Edit:  Due to NCAA inability to play I-AA schools online we decided to rematch our rivalry game at the end of the season.

How's 9:30pm? I'm ready to start my Indiana season if that's ok with you.

The turning point came when Jason interecepted a pass and returned it for a TD with :59 left in the first half to go up 14-7.  He dominated after that with an awesome run attack that included a 40+ yard breakout for a TD to seal the deal.  Ted mounted a late drive that was incredibly effective through the air.  He reached the endzone in 6 plays passing left, right, and center for medium gains.  Jason got a little nervous when Ted's onside kick was successful with :30 left to play, but it was too little to late and Indiana opens the season with a well earned victory.

Nice job Ted.

Did you receive and email with all of the game stats? I know I used to receive them last year with NCAA Football 2005 but haven't gotten any with 2006.

I just signed up for end-of-game stats to be emailed to me. You can do it through the online settings in NCAA 06.
