Latest EA Sports CFB 26 News Will Thrill Every Alabama Fan

The Alabama Crimson Tide don't just roll in the real world -- they're a heavy hitter in the virtual world, too.

With just days remaining until the release of the hotly anticipated sports simulation video game EA Sports College Football 26, fans from Tuscaloosa to Timbuktu are boiling over with an increasingly impatient giddiness.

Are they gonna nerf the jet sweep? What's new in Road to Glory mode? Is kicking still nearly impossible? Will the game's introduction of real-world coaches include the option of restoring Mike Gundy's mullet? 

Well, we don't have answers to all of these pressing queries quite yet -- but if you have a rammer jammer tattoo and know all the words to "Dixieland Delight" and hold strong opinions about which beer Roll Tide Willie should try next, a big piece of CFB 26 news that dropped on July 5 will have you hooting and hollering:

With the No. 7-rated offense (89) and No. 1 defense (96), Kalen DeBoer's Alabama Crimson Tide sit atop this year's EA Sports College Football ratings at a nifty 89 overall.
