The Wisconsin Badgers are ranked No. 15 in defense for the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game, with an overall rating of 86. While this ranking differs from ESPN SP+ and other metrics, where the Badgers have the No. 7-ranked defense entering the 2024 season, their defensive prowess is still considered their clear strength going into the season.
The team’s defense boasts returning stars such as S Hunter Wohler, CB Ricardo Hallman, and most of the 2023 secondary, along with impact transfers including ILB Jaheim Thomas, OLB John Pius, OLB Leon Lowery, and DL Brandon Lane. Despite facing formidable opponents such as Alabama, Oregon, Penn State, and USC, the Badgers’ defensive strength is expected to remain a constant throughout the season.
On the other hand, Nebraska is notably absent from EA Sports’ top 25 in the video game despite being ranked No. 6 in ESPN SP+. The full top 25 ratings may impact gameplay but may not necessarily reflect on-field performance in the upcoming season.
