And here is the link to the 2011 Southern Miss preview from Scout.com. This may help in rating changes...

I know everyone always feels that their favorite team should be rated higher on the game... But this year, Southern Miss really should be rated higher. Lindy's College Football 2011 Preview magazine has Southern Miss as the #2 team in Conference USA, but the NCAA 12 game has 4 Conference USA teams rated higher than Southern Miss.
The Scout.com preview I just posted even says, "Is this the year Southern Miss goes from good to special? The defense should be better and the offense will finish among the top 15 in the country again. With the right schedule and a nice mix of talents, it's not crazy to think the Golden Eagles might be in the hunt for a BCS game."
I think this year EA Sports gave USM the bad end of the deal on their rating in the game, at least in comparison to other C-USA teams. The game has Tulsa, UCF, Houston, & SMU rated higher than Southern Miss, and East Carolina has the same rating as Southern Miss. That's disappointing, seeing as how I've seen a number of pre-season predictions saying that Southern Miss has a very high chance of winning the conference.

The Southern Miss athletic site now has the fall football roster up, and includes the freshmen's jersey numbers. Here's the link...
