Tennessee vs. Georgia Simulation for EA Sports College Football 25

It’s Week 12 of Tennessee football, featuring No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers (8-1) travels to Athens to take on No. 10 Georgian bulldogs (7-2). With their seasons on the line, we ran through 100 video game simulations of the classic rivalry to see what the real outcome could be.

Anything can happen in college football. And so far this season, our EA Sports College Football 25 Simulations on PS5 have resulted in some exciting – often precise – possibilities.

However, this week’s game has extra stakes. If the Vols win, it could cinch the team’s berth in the College Football Playoffs (now ranked No. 7) and the SEC Championship Game. But a loss to Georgia could be damaging for the Vols.

Tennessee will take on Georgia on November 16 at 7:30 PM, a time not available in the video game. So we set the kickoff for 8pm and made sure the weather would be clear to match the Saturday weather forecast in Athens at the time of the simulation.

Here’s what EA Sports College Football 25 predicted in 100 simulations for Tennessee vs. Georgia.

Final thoughts on this week’s EA Sports College Football 25 simulations

If these simulations are accurate, we’ll probably see the volunteers lose, but there are some things a video game can’t predict. The play doesn’t take the Vols quarterback into account Nico Iamaleava may not play in this match due to injury, and it is not expected that morale will be any different for Georgia after last week’s loss.
