How would USC rate if EA’s NCAA Football franchise still existed? Now we know, more or less.
Jason Kirk of SBNation took on the task of generating team ratings for a hypothetical 2019 edition of the iconic, but dormant video game, using S&P+ ratings and other preseason expectations.
The Trojans aren’t one of the top teams available, that distinction belongs to the likes of 95-rated Alabama and Ohio State, 94-rated Clemson, 93-rated Washington and 93-rated Auburn.
USC drew a rating of 87, good for 16th nationally. That’s right around preseason expectations for Clay Helton’s squad.
