Why EA Sports College Football 25 got SEC offensive power rankings right
As college football fans around the country gear up for the release of EA College Football 25, SEC fans will be thrilled to see that most of their schools will have electric offenses in the game.
EA Sports gave fans an early look at the top offensive power rankings for when the game drops in July. The list is headlined by the Georgia Bulldogs, who will have the top-ranked offense in the game with a 94 overall rating.
It's fitting that the Bulldogs boast the games top-rated offense. Quarterback Carson Beck flashed NFL-caliber potential in the second half of last season. Meanwhile, the team is getting an electric running back in Florida transfer Trevor Etienne, along with dynamic returning weapons in wide receivers Dillon Bell and Rara Thomas.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns weren't far behind the Bulldogs. As two of the four teams in last year's College Football Playoff, the team were given 91 overall grades on offense. Quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Quinn Ewers are hoping to get their respective teams back into the playoffs this season, leading two stacked offenses once again.
Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers and Missouri Tigers rounded out the top 10 top-ranked offenses. The Ole Miss Rebels, Texas A&M Aggies, and Oklahoma Sooners also made appearances on the list.
Unlike EA Sports' baffling choices on the toughest places to play in college football, the top-ranked offenses seem to make sense. The top offenses are led by elite quarterbacks, and feature plenty of skill players and size up front to effectively move the ball down the field.
