The first time you break into College Football 25 upon its July 19 release, paralysis of choice is bound to set in.

Do you play with Georgia's experienced attack, led by quarterback Carson Beck? Or Ohio State's cadre of weapons? Or Notre Dame's shutdown defense? How do you pick?

This is a tradition as old as college football video games themselves. Early millennials had to choose between Nebraska's ground game and Miami's passing game, late millennials between USC quarterback Matt Leinart and Texas quarterback Vince Young, and Gen Zers between Alabama coach Nick Saban and Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer's brands of dominance.

Gen Alpha, to you passes this proud legacy. To help you in your search ahead of this historic season, here—unveiled by EA Sports Thursday morning—are College Football 25's top 25 offenses and defenses.

Choose wisely, and don't neglect the UTEPs and Western Michigans of the world.
