Ea Sports College Football Video Game Rankings

AUBURN, Ala. — As college football season approaches, EA Sports has released its rankings for College Football '26, scheduled to launch on July 10. The release comes after last year’s successful return of EA’s college football video game after a long hiatus.

This week, the top 25 teams were announced, and they reflect a mix of fan-favorites and recent performances. Leading the list is Alabama, followed closely by Texas, Ohio State, and Penn State.

As the rankings reveal begins, the list features teams that fans and commentators have started to comment on, including Auburn at number 22, despite the team’s struggles last season ending at 5-7. Hugh Freeze, Auburn’s head coach, acknowledged the challenge ahead as the team aims to improve.

“We know we have a lot to prove this season,” Freeze said. “But being recognized in preseason rankings is a sign of faith from the community and fans.”

This year also highlights the ongoing battle between top rivals. LSU and Clemson will face off in what is projected as a key game in determining playoff contenders in the opening week of the regular season.

The full top 25 list includes:
25. Illinois
