Wisconsin Badgers ranked as a top team in EA Sports College Football 25

Top 25 team rankings for EA Sports College Football 25

EA Sports unveiled the team power rankings for its soon-to-be-released College Football 25 video game on Saturday.

The release included deep dives into every top 25 team in the video game, plus an exclusive look at some of its gameplay features. Those deep dives were also complete with the ratings of every team’s top players, their offensive and defensive schemes, and what to expect from each group during the 2024 season.

Wisconsin was one of those top 25 teams. EA Sports partnered with 247Sports college football analyst Josh Pate for a first look at the Badgers in the video game. He discussed the team’s top players on both sides of the football and the 2024 team’s potential under head coach Luke Fickell.

The Badgers are not expected to crack any preseason top 25 ranking after finishing both 2022 and 2023 with 7-6 records. But EA Sports College Football is somewhat high on the Badgers, and actually has the program ranked comfortably within the previously-mentioned top 25.

Here is a look at that complete top-25 power ranking:

247Sports college football analyst Josh Pate released a full preview of the Wisconsin Badgers in the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game.

The 47-second video includes information on the player ratings of some of the Badgers’ most important players — including QB Tyler Van Dyke, RB Chez Mellusi, WR Will Pauling, RT Riley Mahlman, LT Jack Nelson, S Hunter Wohler and CB Ricardo Hallman. It also gives a preview of the gameplay of the soon-to-be-released game.

Wisconsin is the 18th-best team in the video game, trailing notable Big Ten programs including Ohio State (No. 2 overall), Oregon (No. 3), Penn State (No. 9) and Michigan (No. 11).

The team is led by the defensive duo of S Wohler (90 OVR) and CB Hallman (91 OVR), with a promising offensive attack highlighted by QB Van Dyke (83 OVR), RB Mellusi (84 OVR), WR Pauling (86 OVR), LT Nelson (87 OVR) and RT Mahlman (87 OVR).

It is likely to be better than the 2023 Badgers who finished with a 7-6 record. But the big question is how much better, and how much will that improvement matter against a gauntlet schedule.

Wisconsin would be a fun program to take over in EA College Football 25’s dynasty mode. The 2024 schedule sees opportunities for big-time home wins against Alabama, Oregon and Penn State. But as mentioned, the program has real room for improvement after consecutive 7-6 seasons. That gives the potential for a fun and rewarding build.

The much-anticipated video game will be released to the public on July 19.

YouTuber shows Notre Dame clip for EA Sports College Football 25

Does this make you want to buy the game more?

With the release of EA Sports College Football 25 a little over a week away, fans are anxious to see the final product. That can’t happen just yet, but we’re starting to see more clips of the game as we get closer. One new clip in particular should intrigue Notre Dame fans.

YouTuber GoodGameBro has released a video in which he previews certain aspects of the game. He specifically sets aside one part of the video for the Irish, and it’s every bit as glamorous as you can imagine:

If you can overlook the fact that the Irish haven’t played Minnesota since 1938 and have no future plans to do so, this makes you wish the real season already was underway. You can just feel the excitement of the crowd and band at Notre Dame Stadium along with all the tradition that comes with it. It sure looks like this game was done right.

If you want to watch the full 14-and-a-half-minute video for more about the game, here it is:
