On July 19, 2024, EA Sports will finally introduce College Football 25, the highly anticipated school football video game. While it’s no surprise that USC’s tough offense has secured a spot in the Top 25, its 25th-place placement increases. Eyebrows.
EA SPORTS its metrics.
“The progression team painstakingly reviewed thousands of knowledge questions to arrive at our team strength ranking. With the help of our friends at Pro Football Focus (PFF), the team analysed all 134 teams, thousands of players, years of gameplay footage and mountains of stats to arrive at our Team Power rankings regardless.
Lincoln Riley never had a lower-ranked offense overall during his time at USC and averaged 41 problems over the two seasons. That trend continues from his head coaching days at Oklahoma, where his teams averaged 43. 29 points per game. In nine years as a head coach, Riley’s teams have never finished worse than eighth in overall offense and have only scored fewer than 40 points once (2021: 39 points per game).
USC loses its Heisman-winning quarterback Caleb Williams, who was decided as the top pick in the 2024 NFL overall draft. However, Miller Moss just made his Holiday Bowl debut, which demonstrated his ability to lead Riley’s very fortunate offense. Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns in a 42-28 victory. Part of Moss’ good fortune has been the release of a first-year elegance of elite top-tier receivers — Zachariah Branch, Jacobi Lane, Duce Robinson and Makai Lemon — who will cheer on the Big Ten in the fall.
It’s also the third year of an offensive line overhaul that can produce the most talented and consistent unit ever seen at USC under Riley’s leadership, anchored through Elijah Page and Jonah Monheim. Behind that line will be Woody Marks, the all-time leader in reception in the state of Mississippi and the number five all-time in the SEC. Marks will face a young organization of high-ranking Texas running backs, including Quinten Joyner, A’Marion Peterson and Bryan Jackson.
Teams ranked ahead of the Trojans also upgrade their quarterbacks; More than two of them update offensive coordinators. Unless there’s a massive break with an overwhelming trend related to Lincoln Riley’s offenses, the EA Sports team failed with this strength rating.
