The game is over a month from being released, but with their recent gameplay trailer release, it was only a matter of time before we released our EA Sports College Football 25-player rating projections. First up, as always, the quarterback projections for this year’s edition of the popular college football video game.
EA Sports College Football 25 QB Rating Projections
First thing first, let’s get to how we accomplished this massive undertaking. After years of playing the game — yes, I own a copy and have played extensively through every single NCAA (or Bill Walsh College Football) game that EA Sports has ever created so — I am uniquely qualified to produce such a list.
But that’s not the whole reasoning behind this. With the help of the new gameplay included in EA Sports College Football 25, we took a stab at using the CFN QB Rankings system, each quarterback’s individual traits, and proven track record on the field to combine into a proprietary formula that then spit out an overall ranking for each quarterback.
Below, we have the first-ever rating prediction for every college football quarterback that should or could see action this fall for all 134 FBS teams. Using a mix of all quarterback metrics and including, but not limiting ourselves to, the new CampusIQ feature, throw power, throw accuracy, athleticism skills, and much more, the CFN Rating Projections take a look at just who the top players could be when the game is released.
Read through the list. Tell us who is the closest to accurate. Let me know who you think is too high. Perhaps who is too low. And ultimately, be sure to check back in when the game is released and see how accurate these rankings turn out to be.
