With well over 100 schools to choose from, it’s often important to know the best College Football 25 teams.

1 – Georgia Bulldogs – 95 OVR

By a full two points, the Georgia Bulldogs are the best team in College Football 25. This should not be surprising since they won the National Championship in 2021 and 2022. If they hadn’t suffered a late, close loss in 2023 and fallen to fifth overall (outside the CFP threshold), they might have won another. They’re the program to beat right now, and their rankings reflect that. Their offense is 94 OVR and their defense is as well.

2 – Ohio State Buckeyes – 93 OVR

Once again, this is very unsurprising. Ohio State is routinely one of the best teams in the nation. They’re a perpetual CFP contender, and the game accurately reflects that. They have had some quarterback turnover since C.J. Stroud turned pro, but they still have such a strong roster and exceptional coaching that they remain among the best of the best.

3 – Oregon Ducks – 93 OVR

For a very long time, the Oregon Ducks have quietly been an elite program. They may not get as much attention as some other teams, but College Football 25 ranks them as one of the best teams. They were exceptional last year, challenging for a playoff berth. They didn’t lose a great many impact players and have a strong coaching staff, which is why they’re so highly rated by EA Sports. They have a top-three offense and defense.

4 – Alabama Crimson Tide – 92 OVR

The Crimson Tide may not be the top program anymore, but they have hardly fallen off. Nick Saban’s exit might hamper them in the real world, but they have the roster to compete with anyone. Thanks to a top-rated 91 offense and 90 defense, they’re a squad any player can do well with.

5 – Texas Longhorns – 92 OVR

Rounding out the top five is Texas, who are ranked two OVR points above the next-closest team. They have a pair of exceptional quarterbacks to play with in Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning (so they could also be a fun Dynasty Team to use) and have a top-four offense and top-eight defense to boot. This is one of the most explosive teams in the game right now.

These teams are the best of the best, so using them will more often than not lead to success. Players can win with any team depending on the opponent, but that hardly matters when using one of the best teams.

Honorable mentions: Clemson Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, LSU Tigers, Penn State Nittany Lions, and Utah Utes.
