TBK Project: Immortalizing WVU & NCAA Football

First, I'm a hardcore fan of the West Virginia Mountaineers. Naturally, when I got this game, I immediately created WVU using the complete 2008 roster.

After playing the game for a few months, I grew tired of playing the same default teams every season. So, I did some thinking, and decided to start my project.

The Mountaineers, like other teams, have played in and won many big games throughout the program's long history. Some of those victories were vital to the long-term success to the program or brought national respect (2006 Sugar Bowl), while others gave bragging rights and were just plain sweet victories (1975 Pittsburgh). I am in the process of integrating WVU opponents of these games (using complete, accurate rosters) into Tecmo Bowl Kickoff (and taking some video), cementing a piece of both Mountaineer Football and NCAA Football history into gaming.

These are the teams I have added, along with full rosters and stat point usage:

2003 Virginia Tech Hokies (7-28 L in Morgantown while ranked #3)
2005 Georgia Bulldogs (35-38 L in 2006 Sugar Bowl, relocated to Atlanta, GA.)
2005 Louisville Cardinals (44-46 3OT L in Morgantown. The Big East favorite Cards led 24-7 with 8 minutes remaining in the 4th.)
1982 Oklahoma Sooners (27-41 L while ranked #8 in Norman, OK, to open the season. Sooners HC Barry Switzer's first season-opening loss at OU.)
1984 Boston College Eagles (20-21 L in Morgantown while ranked #4. BC led 20-6 at halftime. This was Heisman winner Doug Flutie's 4th consecutive loss to West Virginia.)

I'm still working hard to fill out as many spots as I can. Other teams I plan to add are 1993 Miami Hurricanes, 1984 & 1988 Penn State Nittany Lions, 1981 Florida Gators, 2007 Oklahoma Sooners, and possibly 2006 Georgia Tech.

You should some teams that won national titles too, like this year's gators or LSU. Good luck on doing this.
P.S. It is a pain for me to edit all the rosters to correspond with NFL rosters. So I can only imagine how hard this is.

I will only assume that you will be adding WVU 1998? They were awesome. I think they still have the record for most players drafted to the NFL from the same team in a single year. It was around 20 players!
