College Football 25 predicts Boise State's upcoming season
Ever wished you could just simulate a season and see how good your team does? When you don't want to deal with the stress of nail biters or drama with the transfer portal, but just see if the hype lived on for your team or not? With the excitement surrounding a decade's long wait and the release of College Football 25, I decided to sit down and do just exactly that, by simulating this upcoming season 5 times and see exactly how well or unwell this new game predicts Boise State will do in the 2024 season. While I did not imagine that it would be a fairly accurate game, with how much love and attention that EA put into not only analyzing the teams, but their stadium, traditions and even how fans interact in the stadium, the thought of simulating the 2024 season seemed to be the closest guesses we could get as to how Spencer Danielson will do as a first year head coach. After doing the 5 simulations, I learned that this thought process was completely and hilariously wrong. From G5 teams winning the Natty to Nevada somehow being good, these simulations were more random than shaking an 8-ball. So lets take a look as to exactly how well EA and their AI thinks Boise State is going to do this year.
