Michigan's Rod Moore, Derrick Moore top Wolverines, EA Sports College Football 26 ratings
The new version includes more authenticity, from the coaches being in the game to Mr. Brightside playing between the third and fourth quarters. But the most important thing is how the team plays, and it's also a window into what video game developers and their advisors believe to be the top players in all of college football.
The Wolverines have four players who are in the top 100 of those included in the game. Though Ohio State leads the charge with the top two players overall in wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs, Michigan has the following four with their ratings included:
As far as overall ranking in the game, Rod Moore comes in at No. 54, Moore at No. 72, El-Hadi is No. 75, and Benny is No. 94.
This is the second iteration of the relaunched video game property and yet again, there is a Michigan contingent on the cover, with Bryce Underwood being the only true freshman to grace the front of the game -- along with recurring Wolverine, Denard Robinson.

With the full release of EA Sports' "College Football 26" coming later this week on Thursday, those with early access from the game's Deluxe Edition are already enjoying this year's game. Advertisement On Monday night, Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams was taking advantage of former Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter on the sticks in EA Sports' College Football 26 Showdown.
