EA Sports' new college football video game is coming out in less than two months.
How much love will West Virginia's roster get from the rating adjusters? Truth be told, we won't know until the game releases, but here's a prediction of how EA will rate all of the scholarship players on the Mountaineers' roster.
this is projection This is how I think EA rates their players, not how I rate them, so don't get too upset with me if some players are rated a little lower than you'd expect – EA's ratings are usually pretty harsh, so I've taken that into consideration.
There may also be players who choose not to participate in the game, who joined later, or who are freshmen and therefore not included in the game. EA has not released a full list of players who have chosen to participate, nor has it provided any clarity on the status of the freshman class.
