EA Sports College Football 25 has a completely new look and feel and several never-before-seen features, the most notable of which is the addition of players’ NIL. Individuals who chose to participate will be highlighted in the game and assigned a player rating overall.
If you’re not a fan of college football, this rating might not hold much significance for you. But for athletes, it’s just as important as real-life rankings. Even many players treat their video game ratings the same way they would a preseason or postseason trophy. So, it was therefore not surprising that Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson burst out laughing upon the release of the most recent EA College Football 25 team power rankings.
That is because K-State is predicted to start the season ranked in the Top 25 in the majority of polls, but the Wildcats were not included in the list. On this spot, 247Sports stated, “The Wildcats are supposed to contend for the Big 12 title“. Now, you might be wondering why we dropped out of the Top 25 or where Johnson ranks.

Let me tell you, QB Avery Johnson, who has an overall rating of 85, is the talk of the town going into the next season and the reason for dropping the team from Top 25 is very simple that other powerhouses gained more rating through NIL and track record. Let’s explore Johnson’s output and level of popularity in the current CFB video game era.
The evolution of Avery Johnson’s EA rating
Well! First, let me give you an idea of how to calculate the EA rating. To determine the rating, these scores are added to the player’s worldwide presence, work and effort on the field, teamwork, and a number of other variables. Standing there, after completing 153 of 228 pass attempts for 2,768 yards with 29 touchdown passes and rushing 98 times for 817 yards, Johnson was named the Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year.

Not to forget, he completed three of his four pass attempts for 55 yards and ran five times for 32 yards and one touchdown in that game. So, you can understand what talent he holds as a player.
