NCAA Football 2002 is a video game of the sports genre released in 2001 by EA Tiburon. The cover athlete is the Florida State Seminoles and 2000 Heisman Trophy winner quarterback Chris Weinke. The game featured all (as of 2001) Division 1-A schools along with all Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), and Ivy League schools. This game notably did not have a create-a-school option, and is the only game to feature the EA Sports fight song as the main menu music.

Reception

The game received "universal acclaim" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jim Preston of NextGen said that the game was "Undoubtedly the best college football game available for any system." Playboy gave it universal acclaim, a few weeks before the game was released.
