EA Sports unveiled its top-rated offenses and defenses for the upcoming “College Football 25″ video game with a couple of lists sure that is sure to spark debate among college football fans. Topping the chart offensively is Georgia’s unit — led by quarterback Carson Beck — that came in with a 94 rating.
Also scoring a 94 is the Oregon offense that will be guided by Oklahoma transfer quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Both the Bulldogs and Ducks are among the favorites to compete for the national title, and most of the offenses featured among the game’s top 10 are expected to be in the mix for the 12-team College Football Playoff.
However, there was one surprise team that slipped into EA Sports’ evaluation of the nation’s top offenses. Colorado, coached by Deion Sanders and quarterbacked by his son Shedeur Sanders, came in at No. 8 on the list with a rating of 89.
Here’s a look at the top 10 highest-rated offenses in “College Football 25”:

Shedeur Sanders passed for 3,230 yards with 27 touchdowns and just three interceptions in 2023 and is a legitimate 2025 NFL Draft prospect. But the Buffaloes as a unit ranked 80th nationally in total offense at 363.6 yards per game last season while struggling with pass protection and in the run game.
Deion Sanders overhauled the program’s offensive line during the offseason, but the Buffaloes still face an uphill climb to bowl eligibility as they transition from the Pac-12 to the Big 12. Thus, CU’s inclusion as a top-10 offense in the video game makes it an outlier among College Football 25’s other top-ranked offenses, all of which belong to teams with more realistic CFP aspirations.
The game’s defensive rankings won’t raise quite as many eyebrows. But among the teams left out of the top 10 with the most obvious case for inclusion were Iowa and Florida State, both of which have fielded fierce units in recent seasons and are expected to do so again in 2024. Here’s the breakdown of the game’s top 10 defenses.
