EA Sports College Football 25 finished its unveiling of the team and unit rankings for the soon-to-be-released video game on Friday.
Those rankings have recently included the stadium atmospheres, as well as the top 25 offensive and defensive units. Wisconsin ranked favorably in two of the three — No. 7 overall in toughest stadium environments and No. 15 in the defense ranking.

Those slots, plus the low ranking of the team’s offense, all make sense entering the upcoming football season. Wisconsin has high expectations after a poor 7-6 2023 season. Its defense should take another step forward in year two under head coach Luke Fickell and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel, while the offense remains a question as the program transitions to Phil Longo’s air raid.
In all, Wisconsin should be competitive with every team it faces this season — even with top-ranked Oregon, Alabama and Penn State. But the program may be a year or two away from breaking through and defeating those teams.
That sentiment is reflected in where Wisconsin ranks in the overall team ratings for the upcoming release of EA Sports College Football 25:
