Big 12 Conference lands four teams in EA Sports College Football Power Rankings image

In a completely virtual world, the Big 12 Conference has a league loaded with Top 25 talent — what happens in real life might be something totally different. 

The Big 12 placed four teams in the Top 25 of the EA Sports College Football 25 Power Rankings ahead of the release of the most hotly-anticipated sports video game in years on July 19. 

Utah led the way at No. 10 (88 overall), followed by No. 16 Colorado (87 overall), No.22 Kansas (87 overall), No. 23 Arizona (87 overall) and No. 24 Oklahoma State (87 overall). 

Utah, Colorado and Arizona all join the Big 12 in 2024 after coming over from the Pac-12 Conference. 

Georgia, which has won two College Football Playoff national championships in the last three years, was No. 1 with a 95 overall rating.
