EA Sports gives its prediction for this week's Big 12 matchup featuring the Mountaineers and Knights.

CFB 25 Simulation: WVU vs. UCF.mp4 /

If this week's College Football 25 simulation is accurate, the Mountaineers will pick up their sixth win of the season and become bowl-eligible. Unfortunately, it has predicted the last three games incorrectly, so it is not necessarily a sign of good things to come.

One thing I must note is that KJ Jefferson started at quarterback and played the entire game for UCF. He was benched in real life about a month ago and hasn't appeared since. I tried to move him to the bench for the simulation, but the game did not cooperate.

Full highlights of the College Football 25 simulation of West Virginia vs. UCF can be seen at the top of this page.

Below is a breakdown of the passing, rushing, and receiving totals for individual players, along with a breakdown of how the scoring went, in case you don't feel like watching the highlights. Through the first ten games of the season, these simulations have a 5-4 record.
