We’re coming up on the release of the new College Football 27 video game. Ahead of the drop, EA Sports has been revealing different rankings in the game. First, it was the list of top homefield advantages. Now, on Tuesday, this featured a showcase of the top teams in the country.

On the list, Tennessee football clocked in as an 85 overall team, which is tied for the 16th-highest mark in the country. This is also the ninth-highest ranking of SEC teams in the game.

The Vols sit at an 85 overall due to being ranked as an 85 on both offense and defense, as well. This comes after a year in which the offense was dynamic, while the defense struggled. However, Tennessee will be starting a young and inexperienced quarterback this year, while the defense got an overhaul under new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles.

The grade of 85 on offense is tied for the seventh-best in the SEC. The defense is the seventh-best mark in the conference.
