Guess what? The EA Sports College Football franchise is back, baby! And just before the big release of College Football 25, they've spilled the beans on the top 100 players with their sweet ratings. Everyone's been talking about it, and you know what? Michigan's superstar cornerback, Will Johnson, totally snagged the number one spot with a whopping 96 rating. Can you believe it? He's not alone up there, though. LSU's Will Campbell, a left tackle beast, and Oklahoma State's running back extraordinaire, Ollie Gordon II, are right there with him, both sitting pretty at 96 too.
This game is a big deal because it's like the franchise got a second wind after that huge Supreme Court case in 2021, you know, the one with the NCAA and Alston. Now, college athletes can make bank off their names and faces, which means EA Sports can bring the game back with all the cool stuff we've been missing. We're talking about those old-school features that made us fall in love in the first place, like Home Field Advantage and Wear and Tear. Basically, it's going to feel like your players get tired and better based on how the real games go down.

That Court Case Thing and What It Means
Remember that whole kerfuffle with the NCAA and players getting paid for their names and stuff? Yeah, the Alston case in 2021 changed everything. Now athletes can make some serious dough, and it's all because of that ruling. So, thanks to that, we get to see our favorite college football video game come back to life!
