EA Sports College Football 26 ranks Michigan football as the 15th best team overall. Michigan plays two other ranked teams in the game: #17 Oklahoma and #3 Ohio State. The game, a potential barometer for the upcoming season, releases on July 10th (July 7th for the deluxe edition).

For the past year, the team at EA Orlando has faced a similar challenge. Its first NCAA-themed game in over a decade scored GR's sports game of the year honor for 2024, along with numerous other accolades.

The heart and soul of the EA Sports College Football (formerly NCAA Football) franchise has always been Dynasty mode. It has long been the gold standard of coaching/GM career modes and the developers at EA Sports understood that when they revived the franchise last year after more than a decade on the shelf.
