College Football 25 is just a few days away from releasing into early access. One thing many people will want to do first when they get their hands on the game is hop right into dynasty mode. Often, players want to take one of the lower ranked teams in the game and try to turn them into a college football powerhouse. Thanks to recent trailers, as well as some early release videos from content creators, we have an idea which teams will be among the lowest ranked in the game.
Started From the Bottom
Many dynasty players have been waiting to know which teams are among the lowest ranked in the game. These teams will be very popular to use, as players want to start at the bottom and work their way to the top of the football world. Now, thanks to u/bw2929211 on Reddit, we now know all of the teams that will be below a 2-star rating in College Football 25. Reddit user u/bw2929211 compiled screenshots from recent trailers of the game, as well as from early release videos from content creators Not the Expert and QJB.
Now it should be stated that all of these screenshots came from work in progress versions of College Football 25. These ratings could very well change between now and when the game finally releases. However, it is fun to look at these ratings, and the final ratings shouldn’t be that far off from what we have seen so far. With that in mind, let’s dive into things.
James Madison
Among the most popular of these teams are the James Madison Dukes. The Dukes, despite being a 1.5-star rated team, are coming off one of the most successful seasons in school history. The team went 11-2 and qualified for the school’s first bowl game since transitioning to Division 1 FBS in 2022. The Dukes are a 74 OVR team in the game, and are sure to be a popular choice for many looking for a team for their first rebuild.
Toledo
The Toledo Rockets are also a popular 1.5-star team coming into College Football 25. Despite their low star rating, the Rockets are actually rated an impressive 79 OVR, with an 80 rated defense. Like James Madison, Toledo had a very successful season last year, going 11-3. All 11 wins were a part of a winning streak that followed their Week 1 loss to Illinois. Sadly, the Rockets did fall in the MAC Championship game, and also lost the Arizona Bowl to Wyoming. Nonetheless, their impressive recent success, as well as their talented roster and killer uniforms will make Toledo one of the most popular choices to take from zero to hero.
Kenesaw State
One the opposite end of teams, the Kenesaw State Owls will be popular for a different reason. With a 1-star rating, the Owls have the lowest rating we have seen so far at a 71 OVR. 2024 will actually be the Owls’ first season as an FBS school. The Owls had a 3-6 record in 2023, just two years after an 11-2 season that ended in a Big South Conference Championship. Being able to control a team brand new to FBS football is incredibly intriguing for dynasty players. Throw in a cool stadium and stylish uniforms, and you’ve got the perfect Cinderella to be.
The remaining 1-star or 1.5-star rated teams that we have seen so far are:
- Air Force
- Akron
- Arkansas State
- Ball State
- Bowling Green
- Buffalo
- Central Michigan
- Charlotte
- Coastal Carolina
- Colorado State
- East Carolina
- Eastern Michigan
- Florida Atlantic
- Florida International
- Georgia Southern
- Georgia State
- Hawaii
- Louisiana
In my opinion, college football is the most interesting topic for sports news. Now many Australian fans are discussing nrl signings 2024 and noticing how many young players of the championship in 2024 have transferred from the student championship. On https://sport-and-crypto.com/game-changers-key-players-joining-the-nrl-in-2024/ I even saw the first photos of the awarding of young athletes who played in the student championship last year. I think that games like this inspire athletes in many countries. And as a fan of nrl, I am grateful to the developers of the game for the fact that thanks to their work, new sports stars appeared in our championship.
