PROVO, Utah – EA Sports College Football 25 released a new batch of ratings for October. BYU players were among the beneficiaries of a ratings boost.

Despite being a 5-0 team in real life, BYU is still an underdog in the virtual video game world, with an 80 overall rating.

Regarding the player’s ratings, BYU had 16 players receive rating bumps in the latest batch of rating updates by the EA Sports College Football 25 team.
