EA Sports just released the Top 10 Offensive Players list for College Football 26; and boy, the players had opinions about it. Flames are literally shot as players call out snubs, questionable ratings, and outright “glitches-in-the-matrix.”
The list, posted on the official EA Sports College Football Twitter account, comprises of the best of the best next year’s virtual gridiron is going to have. But the real drama comes in the replies? Oh, the replies! They did not waste any time with “Where’s Kenyon Sadiq?!” or “Ryan Williams a 95 is WILD.”
One of the biggest talking points? The debate over Ryan Williams and Jeremiah Smith. Sean Michael (@_LaFlamaBlanca3) said Williams shouldn’t even be CLOSE to Smith: “not even remotely close.” Others countered by saying Williams’ spin moves alone put him on that level. The conversation is chef’s kiss messy.
Then came the whole TE matter. Duck Fu Too (@DuckFuToo) ran off, declaring that “first TE in the draft and best in CFB isn’t even in your top 5.” The clown emoji appeared. That’s just disrespectful. Really? Several gamers were feeling that some of their favorite players got disrespected.
Meanwhile, the Ohio State and Alabama fanbase is dripping in rage shall I say. @Japanjap191905 jokingly said that “bouta be annoying” with all their “fuck it” deep balls. On point. Painfully.
But wait—there’s more. The others started noticing rather to gasp peculiar instances. Like Justin Sexton (@JSexton1119) asking if Iowa State secretly joined the Big Ten since their players were listed wrong. Seriously, EA? We’d like an explanation.
Oh, and then there’s a whole host of others telling EA Sports to just let the damn game go already. A bunch are begging for it; thirst is genuine.
So, what is the situation?
Rankings right now seem to be politicizing the players into hype, anger, confusion, or everything else in between. For or against-are-you-serious-that-list, one thing all agree on, College Football 26 rent-free has already been implanted into everybody’s heads.
Now, excuse me as I watch the justifications for Ryan Williams’ spin move for the 50th time.
