EA has been revealing a ton of detail about the changes and additions it’s bringing to College Football 26, and today it revealed its stadium rankings. Taking into account crowds, noise, and “hostile atmosphere,” EA has produced a list of the toughest stadiums in college football for visiting teams.

Part of EA’s focus on improving its representation of the traditions, spirit, and overall vibes of particular campuses, this list of tough stadiums is probably not going to be too surprising to most college football fans. LSU’s infamously loud and hostile Tiger Stadium, for instance, comes in at the top spot, and most of the rest of the SEC is not too far behind. Aligned with college football stereotypes and memes, you’re not going to find any California schools on the list. However, college football fans are nothing if not ferociously loyal, so I’m sure this list will still find a way to spark heated debate. You can see the full list below.

Among EA’s changes to the CFB formula designed to up school spirit include more rivalry trophies, school-specific events like marching band formations and run-outs, and a much bigger roster of mascots.

CFB 26 fully launches on July 10; early access for preorders starts on July 7. Check out our preorder guide to untangle the various versions of the game on offer. This year’s game features two wide receivers–Alabama’s Ryan Williams and Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith–on its cover. In addition, EA built the in-game rosters by paying players significantly more money than last year.
