A first look at the MAC’s player and team overall rankings in updated “NCAA Football 19” rosters

Ever since NCAA Football went extinct back in 2013, a group of fans at Operation Sports have kept the dream alive, using their modding skills and (surely) hundreds of hours of hard work to re-make the experience for gamers to play with updated rosters every new football season.

The 2018-2019 season is upon us, and the group has released its first batch of ratings for the upcoming campaign. Seeing as we like to use NCAA Football as a predictor of the future, it only makes sense to look up the numbers and see just how good the folks over at Operation Sports think every MAC team is.

Let’s start with a breakdown of the team overall ratings. The differences in overall rating between the final “2017-2018” roster and the first “2018-2019” roster are listed, as well as the “completeness” of each roster, per Operation Sports’ calculations.

Now comes the fun part. We’ve compiled the overall rankings of every major offensive and defensive skill positions and put them in a sortable chart (by team, by overall, etc.) so you can compare and contrast how each player stacks up!

Keep in mind that some rosters are currently in the process of being re-worked (BGSU, Miami, Kent, NIU, Ohio and Western all are labeled incomplete on Operation Sports) so take a few of these numbers with a grain of salt. They’re included to help scale the rest of the numbers and give more insight into how the process works.
