College Football 25 recently released their rankings of the top offenses in college football for the upcoming season. While their ratings are based on a variety of factors including returning players, coaching staff, and overall talent, there are some projections that differ from what EA Sports has predicted for their upcoming video game release.
One of the biggest discrepancies between the two rankings is in the top spot. College Football 25 has ranked Alabama as the number one offense for the upcoming season, citing their strong returning players such as quarterback Bryce Young and wide receiver John Metchie III. However, EA Sports has ranked Ohio State as the top offense in their upcoming game, putting more weight on the Buckeyes’ explosive offense led by quarterback CJ Stroud and wide receiver Chris Olave.
Another difference comes in the form of the Oklahoma Sooners, who College Football 25 has ranked as the third-best offense for the upcoming season. While EA Sports also has the Sooners ranked highly, they have them at number five, favoring teams like Georgia and Clemson above them. Oklahoma boasts a potent offense led by quarterback Spencer Rattler and a strong group of wide receivers, making them a formidable force for any defense to contend with.
A surprising inclusion on College Football 25’s rankings is Iowa State, who they have ranked as the ninth-best offense for the upcoming season. While the Cyclones have made significant strides in recent years under head coach Matt Campbell, EA Sports has not given them as much credit, ranking them outside of the top ten offenses in their game.
Overall, while there are some differences between College Football 25’s rankings and EA Sports’ projections, both lists provide valuable insight into what fans can expect to see on the field this upcoming season. With so many talented offenses across the country, it will be interesting to see how these rankings play out and which teams will ultimately rise to the top of the college football landscape.
