Can the EA Sports video game ratings predict real-life performances of 2024 college football teams?

Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton use the EA Sports offense and defense unit rankings released Thursday as a jumping-off point to discuss the how the real-life versions of these units will fare. (0:00-2:26) Intro - EA Sports Offensive and Defensive Rakings (2:27-3:24) Jesse Simonton joins to break down the rankings (3:25-6:51) Colorado ranked too high? (6:52-8:23) USC Rankings (8:24-11:07) Ohio State (11:08-15:11) Georgia's Ranking (15:12-16:39) Liberty on the game (16:40-18:23) Miami (18:24-22:47) Alabama (22:48-28:34) Omission of Tennessee (28:35-32:24) Clemson (32:25-35:15) Ole Miss (35:16-38:09) Florida at #25 on defense (38:10-42:19) LSU (42:20-45:51) Sneaky Defense: Texas A&M (45:52-50:09) Penn State (50:10-53:20) SMU Ponies (53:21-55:10) UCF Knights (55:11-57:45) Big 12 Outlook (57:46-1:01:48) Wrapping up with Jesse (1:01:49-1:04:10) Who is YOUR Dynasty Team? (1:04:11-1:05:09) Conclusion, see you Monday! Do Georgia and Oregon really have the best offenses? EA Sports didn’t have Tennessee in its top 25 on offense or defense, but where should the Volunteers actually fall? (Andy and Jesse will remind game-makers that James Pearce Jr. is a person who exists.) Is Colorado really going to be as good on each side of the ball as the video game rankings suggest? Also, will LSU and USC improve enough on defense in real life to be among the top 25 units? Because if they are, then those programs might be looking at College Football Playoff berths.
