For those of you reading this comment, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up,
Didn't ES go around getting approvals. $$$$$.
Jim Tressel said on a recent podcast of his that listening to sports talk radio back when he was coaching, he actually liked some of the ideas of fans and enjoyed getting perspective from people outside of the program.
That show would be great 😂
For all we know Tennessee is just tied for 16
These are because of individual players being rated and transferring to the overall of the team. The top 25 will be the same as the polls when the polls are out…
Both Tennessee and Colorado rankings will be fixed by the time we get to week 3 when they roll out the updates.
Tennessee would beat the brakes off Colorado
Can’t want to play wit Oregon
Tennessee is getting absolutely disrespected. They didnt have Tennessee in the top offense, defense, power ratings AND Neyland Stadium wasnt even top 10 in toughest places to play. I am just saying something is shady there
8 – 88s and 10 – 87s… Might as well make top 25 all 90s…
If I was 10 years younger, I would play this game non stop.
These are not the actuall ranking for the game. These are roster ratings. They will probably be using the AP top 25 poll as the official rankings just like the original games.
"These ranking are . . ." Irrelevant. Play the games. How can people make so much money publishing this "rankings" drivel?
Wow there is only 1 OVR separating #9 from #25!!
LOL @ Colorado
Don’t worry. All of us are just going to create dynasty’s. We won’t play with the rankings they want us too.
Yep…the "Playstation All-Americans" as Bobby Bowden used to call them. They're going to be out in force this season. If you thought the Colorado fans who started watching football last year and couldn't shut up about how awesome their team was were annoying, buckle up.
I have no issue with this. It's obvious that EA has no clue about college football.
The ONLY reason this is a controversial subject is because of COLORADO. Every top 25 is based on brands and not REAL evaluation of coaching and talent.
Ah yes, Colorado,Wisconsin, VT, NC state, Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma state, and Iowa. All teams better then pre-season #8 irl ranked mizzou.
It’s pretty obvious the main contributing factors when it came to these ratings were hype and the teams the developers were fans of, because they hardly mirror the teams they’re supposed to be representing.
And Wisconsin is a tougher environment to play than Knoxville, apparently… I guess I shouldn't be shocked considering it's EA. I hope all the Vols players use this as fuel to the fire this year.
Not buying this game. Try again in 2026.
I feel like i should be angry Tennessee is left off all the lists (and I am) but I’m even more angry that Colorado and Clemson are on this list. Regardless, I’ll take the bulletin board material for the Vols and I just hope they do rating updates during the season so all this can be irrelevant just like the preseason polls in real life are.
utah over Michigan???
Colorado was picked by Big 12 media members to finish 11th…. and EA have them at 16.
Nerd athletics. with energy drinks and consoles instead of beer and a flat screen. Probably the smarter better, with less personal team bias.
Louisville should be in!
Jesus Colorado at 16 is awful and Michigan with an 88 overall is straight bull crap
Big facts. Im a HUGE college football fan and it ALL started with ncaa football 07 with Reggie bush on the cover.
The teams are ranked by overall ratings not if they are good or not. If you have a couple of 90s on ur team the overall is going to be high. When the preseason rankings come out the game will mirror the ranks. It’s not that hard to comprehend
EA Sports know what they're doing, lol. They know how toxic Tennessee fans online are. 😅 They know Vols fans will be raging all and will be talki g about the game non stop because of it. Negative publicity sometimea is better depending on the situation.
Florida State? 😅
Ole miss would skull drag Colorado on any field.
Miami being overrated is accurate to real life at least
I’ll never understand the ranks in this game 😂 I am a Tennessee fan and it’s not biased opinion that they should be top 25. Seriously look at the other 25 and say they would beat half of them and they did beat several 🤣
To be fair, I coached and called plays for my sons 5-7 year old flag football team, and I could call plays better than Bill OBrien.
I am a Bama fan and hate UT and it's a joke they are not on here.
It's a video game that we haven't had in a decade. I could care less about the rankings
I mean where is Missouri? Are they really not a top 25 team in this game?!
People rlly need to stop with oh Tennessee should be in the Top 25 y’all are a bunch of crybabies thinking everything should go exactly how it should go it’s not the end of the world plus they will probably be at least a decent overall in the game so yall need to shut the fuck up and play the game
Colorado #16 😂😂
Texas falling to 5 days so much about these biased committees
I didn’t understand soccer ball movement till FIFA so I totally agree with you
Iowa has no business being in the top 25. Please let me know when they score more than 13 points in a game.
somebody gonna have their own tweaks for the rosters Day 1 for others to download …
EA Sports is smart and they understand that part of college football is debates and controversy with things like polls and playoffs selections. These are only PRESEASON rankings and will change once the season starts and real games are played. EA rankings and ratings have created conversation which in turn has created content for YT and the sports media…there are 100 videos posted all discussing these rankings/ratings including this channel. Bottom line…EA could have just gone with the AP rankings but that wouldn’t create discussion so in other words they got it right
Wisconsin in the top 25?
Iowa in the top 25???
Colorado in the top 25?????
But Tennessee is nowhere to be found
Heupel needs to use this very good locker room material to light a fire under our team
