EA College Football 26 comes out in just a few days, and the team rankings are already here.
According to ESPN, Illinois is the 25th-best team in the game, at 82 overall.
The top five are Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, Penn State, and Notre Dame.
The Illini’s offense didn’t rank in the top 25, but Aaron Henry’s defense is considered the 18th-best in FBS.
All of the team entrances are also released. Illinois’ is at 24:44 in the clip.
It starts with an awesome look at the Marching Illini’s pregame show, before the guys head out of the tunnel. The MI uniforms still leave something to be desired, but that’s coming from a former MI guy himself. And the trees behind the horseshoe are still there (didn’t they tear them down?).
Anywho, this should be fun.
