It marks a rise from No. 3 in CFB 26, when the Horseshoe trailed both Tiger Stadium and Penn State\u2019s Beaver Stadium.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhether Ohio Stadium actually ranks as the second-toughest place to play in college football is debatable. The Horseshoe is the third-largest stadium in the sport, behind only Michigan Stadium and Beaver Stadium, but in recent years it has developed a reputation for not always reaching its full volume \u2014 particularly during daytime kickoffs that have become common on Ohio State\u2019s schedule since FOX\u2019s Big Noon Saturday era began in 2019.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhen it\u2019s at its peak, though, the Shoe can match any environment in the country, as it did during Ohio State\u2019s College Football Playoff\u00a0win over Tennessee in 2024 and the 2025 season opener win over Texas. The numbers also underscore the Buckeyes\u2019 advantage at home: Ohio State has lost just three games in Columbus since 2018.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLater this week, EA Sports will roll out additional rankings, including the game\u2019s top 10 teams overall (Tuesday), top 10 offenses (Wednesday), top 10 defenses (Thursday) and full team ratings (Friday).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEA Sports College Football 27, the third installment in the revived series since its return in 2024, will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 9. Early access begins July 2 for MVP+ members and July 6 for Deluxe Edition buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ohio Stadium is the second-toughest place to play in college football, according to EA Sports.
