Best rated teams in EA Sports College Football 25 at launch
With the release of EA Sports College Football 25 just days away, EA has spent the past couple of days revealing player and team ratings.
Naturally, the reveal was met with disagreements, but that's what sports video games are all about!

So if you're alma mater or current school isn't on any of the lists below, it's up to you to get them there.
It's worth noting that ratings will change over the next couple of months as the college football season unfolds. But for now, these are the top-rated teams in EA Sports College Football 25 at launch.

To no surprise the Orgeon Ducks are atop the offensive ratings, alongside the Georgia Bulldogs. Oregon finished with the second best offense in the nationa last seaosn, averaging 531.4 yards per game and 44.2 points per game.
That was with multiyear starter and Heisman finalist Bo Nix udner center. While Bo Nix was drafted by the Denver Broncos, his replacement is the incredibly productive Dillon Gabriel (former UCF and Oklahoma starting quarterback). The Ducks also added wide receiver Evan Stewart from Texas A&M.
LSU, who boasted the best offense in the league last season, lost Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Mike Denbrock to the NFL Draft. That should cause a bit of drop off in last year's No. 1 offense, but they've still got a ton of weapons and should remain a top offense.

Perhaps the most controversial reveal was in the Team Overall ratings category where Colorado is listed as the 20th best team in the game. Listen, I get they've got two incredibly talented players Travis Hunter (WR, 95 OVR) and Shedeur Sanders (QB, 93 OVR), but this is still a team game. And as a team, Colorado finished 4-8 with a 1-8 conference record in the Pac-12. Sorry, but they are a bit too overrated here.
