‘The Flagship’ is incredulous over EA’s Ole Miss snub; Texas and Oklahoma now officially in SEC
EA Sports released last week team rankings for its soon-to-hit-the-shelves revival of its wildly-popular college football video game title.
Turns out not everybody is all that high on Ole Miss football in 2024-25.
The Rebels, who won a program-record 11 games last season, are predictably hovering around the Top 10. However, unlike most others, EA has Ole Miss on the outside looking in.
Actually, EA prefers the likes of Colorado, LSU, Clemson and Penn State to Ole Miss, especially their respective offenses. The latter three all have overall offense ratings higher than the Rebels’ 87.
Zach Berry (Ole Miss Spirit) and Grayson Weir (Bro Bible) discuss in an all-new edition of ‘The Flagship,’ powered by College Corner.
Plus, Texas and Oklahoma are officially members of the SEC. Allow us to welcome them accordingly.
“Probably more egregious than the Colorado love is Ole Miss is somehow not a Top 5 offense,” Berry said. “Don’t understand that. They’re at 13.”
“First of all, let’s look at the Peach Bowl,” Weir said. “How do you put Penn State and Ole Miss on an equal playing field? I don’t know. NC State? I don’t know. Clemson? Really?”
“I have no gripes with the Top 5,” said Berry. “Maybe I could be a little upset about Ohio State. But Miami at 7? You’re putting so much stock in Cam Ward working. I think he’s good, but who’s he throwing to?”
“And who is he handing the ball off to? Because their best running back just came to Oxford,” Weir closed.
