It’s a fact of life that cannot be argued, even by the biggest of Hawkeyes die-hards: Iowa’s football team last year had a pretty mediocre offense. Things got so bad that the betting unders got historically low.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the offensive rating for Iowa’s team on the new EA Sports College Football 25 is … well, offensive. Per screenshots shared on Friday, Iowa’s offense is a 71. I’m willing to bet that an Alabama or Clemson is somewhere in the 90s.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction from X (formerly Twitter) as people roasted but respected the Iowa rating:
Unfortunately, EA Sports has seemingly nailed the accuracy of college football. pic.twitter.com/AZTMZ8NARD

EA Sports rating Iowa's offense in NCAA 25 as a 71 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen dawg. 😭 pic.twitter.com/tMu1ZGZvnf
