Simulating The Purdue Football Season In NCAA Football 13

TheBoilingPoints.com will be simulating the 2012-13 college football season in NCAA Football 13, which came out today. In case you were sitting at home trying to figure out how to spend the next three weeks while you wait for the Olympics to begin, check back at TheBoilingPoints.com every weekday at noon eastern to see the results.

We’ll be doing one game per day, but will simulate each game three times: once with Robert Marve at quarterback, once with Caleb Terbush at quarterback and once with Rob Henry at quarterback. Sorry Austin Appleby fans, we’ll hook you up when NCAA Football 14 comes out.

Tomorrow we’ll have the results of the first game – Sept. 1’s battle with Eastern Kentucky. The always important Notre Dame game will be Thursday. For now, here are some rankings to get you by.

Kawaan Short, the No. 9 player in TheBoilingPoints.com’s “Top 10 Most Important Players/Units of 2012”, is the highest rated Boilermaker in the game with a 95 overall rating. Rick Schmeig is the second-best Boilermaker, with an 89 overall ranking.
