EA Sports has released its official Top 25 rankings of college football teams ahead of the soon to be released “College Football ’27” later this summer. The video game maker has ranked the Texas Longhorns No. 5 to start the season.
The Big Ten dominates the top of the ranking, with the top three teams on the list. Notre Dame is No. 4, just ahead of the Longhorns. The back half of the Top 10 is made up of mostly SEC schools, with Ole Miss, LSU, Georgia and Oklahoma just behind the Longhorns. Miami also made the Top 10.
But the rankings are very close. Oregon leads with 91 points. The Sooners at No. 10 have 87 points, so just four points separate the entire Top 10. Texas is just two points behind the Ducks.
We’ll find out a lot about the Longhorns in Week 2, when Texas hosts the Ohio State Buckeyes at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium on Sept. 12. Other big early non-conference games include Oklahoma at Michigan, Florida State at Alabama and Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.
EA Sports College Football 27 will officially release worldwide on July 9, 2026.
