Top‑rated programs dominate the leaderboard
Oregon leads the new rating system with a 91 overall score, the highest ever recorded in the series, while Tennessee holds an 85 overall rating, its offense and defense both earning the same mark.
A dozen other powerhouses — including Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama and others — fall within the 85 to 90 range, reflecting a tightly contested landscape.
The rankings also encompass the full slate of 16 SEC teams, from Texas and LSU to Vanderbilt and Arkansas, offering a comprehensive view of conference strength.
As the July release date approaches, excitement builds for a fresh take on college football simulation, featuring updated graphics, refined playbooks and authentic team identities.
