EA Sports College Football 25 Teams List

While the most significant reveals aren't expected until May 2024, additional reporting from Matt Brown of Extra Points has filled in plenty of gaps about the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 release. According to an interview with Brown, EA expects to have every single Division 1 FBS school in the game.

There were early concerns with Notre Dame and other schools pushing back unless athletes could be compensated, but new NIL rules seem to have cleared the path alongside a recently settled lawsuit. The game will have licensed player names and likenesses, but exactly which players are included from each team will vary.

The title could also include more recent FBS additions in the Jacksonville State Gamecocks and James Madison Dukes, but with development ongoing since 2021 it's possible a few recent schools to join the FBS won't be in the title at launch. The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens and Kennesaw State Owls are also looking to join the FBS in the next few years, and they could arrive later on.

Will more schools, colleges, and universities be added?

According to Matt Brown, while FCS schools likely won't be in the game at launch, they could be added in future DLC. At this point, it's not clear if these would be paid DLC that EA Sports chooses to sell separately or bundle with deluxe editions, but the hope would certainly be for free roster and content updates with additional teams.

With such a richly saturated selection to go with, we could see additions of specific conferences at lower levels or individual schools. The good thing is that even adding one more school could draw in alumni and fans of it, so there are definite motivating factors to continue expanding.

EA Sports College Football 25 Team Ratings

Even when we get more news about EA Sports College Football 25 and confirmation of some of what will be in it from the developers, one of the last sets of reveals leading up to launch will be the EA Sports College Football 25 team ratings. Believe it or not, a few of the top options from NCAA Football 14 will probably still be in that same tier a decade later.

Alabama was the best team in NCAA Football 14 with a perfect 99 overall rating as well as a 99 in offense and defense. Ohio State, Oregon, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Texas, Virginia Tech, Florida State, and Georgia rounded out the top ten back then. Alabama found their way into the College Football Playoff this year, but it was eventual champion Michigan that knocked them off and will likely be the highest rated team when EA Sports College Football 25 arrives.
