EA Sports’ smash-hit college football video game College Football 27 is set for release on July 9, and in preparation for the occasion the game dropped its full rankings for all 138 football teams in Division I.
Here’s a look at the rankings for our local colleges like Texas, Texas Tech and Texas A&M, ranked from best to worst, along with the full top 10 list below.
Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning and the Longhorns are one of only five teams with an offensive ranking in the 90s.
Head coach and defensive guru Brent Venables has the Sooners’ D ranked at 88 overall.
The defending Big 12 champions have the highest overall ranking in the conference entering 2026, thanks largely to that punishing defense.
The game sees Mike Elko’s Aggies as a well-balanced team with 86s across the board.
Eric Morris takes over a Cowboys team ranked surprisingly high by CFB after winning just one game in 2025.
Rhett Lashlee’s SMU team came back down to earth a bit in 2025 and draws a middle-of-the-pack CFB ranking. Still one of the best offenses in the game, though.
TCU looks to get back into contention in the Big 12 in 2026, but, going by EA Sports’ rankings, it’ll be an uphill climb for Sonny Dykes’ Horned Frogs.
Baylor enters 2026 with a rather meager 79 overall ranking. Weekend activity: Start a franchise file with the Bears and try to save Dave Aranda’s job.
After losing their head coach and starting quarterback to Oklahoma State, North Texas enters 2026 without much in the way of expectations.
