On Thursday, the new College Football 26 video game was released to the public.

The first thing I did was head to the ‘Dynasty’ mode to simulate Tennessee football’s season. I ran the simulation five times, without changing any settings, to see what it thinks the Vols will do in the 2025 season.

As you’ll see, the results and stats can get a bit out there. Here’s how each simulation went and the average between the five.
