College Football 25: Texas A&M, Alabama top list of toughest places to play
EA Sports announced on Tuesday its top 25 toughest stadiums to play in for the upcoming College Football 25 game.
Kyle Field - home of the Texas A&M Aggies - tops the list, which features four SEC teams in the top five. Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium and LSU's Tiger Stadium rank second and third, respectively. They are followed by Ohio State's Ohio Stadium and Georgia's Sanford Stadium.
EA Sports factored in historical stats to determine its top 25, including winning percentage, home game attendance, active winning streaks, and team prestige. The rankings are subject to change in future updates.
Home-field advantage will be a big factor in College Football 25 and could feature in-game modifiers such as blurred routes, incorrect play art, confidence, and screen-shaking for away teams.
