With several key offensive weapons from last year's Washington Huskies and National Champion Michigan Wolverines off to the NFL Draft (and Madden 25), neither of 2024's College Football Playoff Finals made it into the top offenses. If either squad can prove themselves through this season, they could see that change in a future roster update.

Best Defense in College Football 25

While the Michigan Wolverines might be down some offensive weapons, they've still got a stout enough defense to come into the year tied with several others as a top three defense in College Football 25. Ohio State takes the top spot, but they're unlikely to be the best overall team. Georgia is far enough ahead of them on offense that they're likely to be the top overall choice, so any Dynasty Mode player looking for an instant championship would be smart to pick the Bulldogs.
