On Thursday, EA Sports released its rankings for the Top 25 offenses and defenses in College Football 25 as part of the “Rankings Week” event.
Following the releases of the “Toughest Places to Play” and the “Sights and Sounds Deep Dive,” there was a mountain of anticipation for the first look at the game’s team ratings.
However, when the rankings were out for everyone to see, that anticipation turned into an uproar as fans, media, and everyone in between began poking holes in the numbers.
The biggest issue with the rankings is, without a doubt, Colorado.
Is Deion working with the game developers? How else do we explain their ratings?
Offensively, Colorado comes in tied for fifth nationally with an 89 OVR. Then, and perhaps even more ridiculously, Colorado’s defense showed up as the 20th-best in the game, with an 84 OVR. What are we even doing, EA?
College football analysts took to the keyboards quickly, too, showing us just how ridiculous it is to have the Buffs rated where they are.
Sure, Colorado should be improved in 2024, but somewhere around a Top 10 team? C’mon now, EA.
