Previous college football games from EA Sports give a "poll" ranking to teams upon their release as well, one that is reflected in polls such as the AP Top 25 in dynasty mode. It is unclear whether or not Ole Miss' spot at No. 15 on this list will also be their spot in the polls or if the Rebels will be included in the Top 10 where most offseason projections place them.
According to EA, "The Development Team meticulously examined hundreds of thousands of data points to arrive at our team power rankings," including input from Pro Football Focus. It also stated that these ratings are subject to change in future updates.
So, what do you think? Was Ole Miss undersold in its ratings for EA Sports College Football 25? The game is set to be released on July 19, and the Rebels will open their actual season at home against the FCS Furman Paladins on Aug. 31.
