I let a bunch of nerds talk me into pre-ordering 26. I'm dumb ;p
Once upon a time, Memorial Stadium was regularly considered one of the top 'toughest places to play.'
It's obvious why Nebraska isn't listed anymore. But if you put a top-ten ranked team in all the stadiums listed above, your top venues would pretty much be the same as they've always been:
(in no particular order)
Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Clemson, Georgia, and Alabama
Regarding EA's list.
Oregon? Michigan State? Iowa? OU? Texas? I've been to games at all of them and they're nowhere close to the nation's most intimidating places. Based on my experience, I'd put Penn State's Beaver Stadium at #1 (a stadium the Huskers will visit this fall.)

EA has NEVER graded Nebraska accurately or even fairly. It's part of the reason why I detest them so much. I buy their sh***y game because I love playing college football.
Dylan Raiola, if he played for Alabama, Georgia, or any of the Top 7 teams according EA, would be rated like 95. But because he plays for Nebraska, obviously he's a 72 rated scrub. (I don't actually know what he's rated right now but it's probably not good.)

And to @ATX_Husker post, #187, Nebraska having a Top 25 offense and their defense not being top 25 tells me two things:
1) Nebraska's offense will be able to score against teams rated lower than 25 but will get shut down and held scoreless against the completely overrated Alabama, Georgia, and top teams in the game, and
2) Nebraska's defense, being so poorly rated, won't be able to stop anyone.
Basically, the way this is shaping up, Nebraska will have to run a track meet in every game and have to score at least 35 points to even have a shot at winning.
The fact that they simulated the game against Cincinnati and Nebraska needed double overtime to win is proof of what I am talking about.
GD F EA.

Think that one against USC in post 192 above was a fluke?
This was on the road against Penn State:
I am so f***ing tired of just how much this game cheats. The two videos I posted are just a small percentage of the number of times this happens. This literally happens to me like 3-5x a game. The computer just decides to not have my corner play and it gives itself quick, cheap, easy TDs multiple times a game.
And you wonder why I rage so much at EA. Their game is absolute utter garbage.

I think I am going to play every game for the upcoming season and post the results here.
Here are the parameters I'll utilize:
* 15 Minute Quarters
* Varsity level
Since the opening game against Cincinnati is in Arrowhead, I'll play that game in Lawrence or Manhattan since the Kansas City Stadium isn't available in the college football game.
I'll start tonight, after work.

And you'd probably lose. There are so many games where you just cannot run the ball. For example, the last game I played, I was Michigan and played @ Tennessee. I was playing 10 minute quarters. I ran the ball approximately 40x and rushed for ~1.9 yards per carry. I won the game 37-17 thanks to 3, count 'em 3, pick 6s and hitting some timely play-action passes. I ran the ball, but it was tough sledding all game long.
