Teams are based on yearly statistics. You can play a season or make your own. You can also play individual game matchups. To sim a season would take a few minutes depending on the speed of your computer. If you play a pro season, you can create a playoff league to play that post-season's teams. The college game actually will rank teams BCS style during the during the season.

Graphics are inferior, but, unlike Madden, it is a true simulation, meaning your results will be loosely comparable to the actual player offensive and defensive performances.
The table game version of SOM football is my favorite football sim by far. But it does take a couple of hours to play. The computer game is much more streamlined, as you'd expect.
