What are Tiers in College Football 25?

Tiers are a mechanism in College Football 25 that sorts teams by power, primarily determined by their overall and conference. For example, powerhouses like Alabama and Ohio State are in Tier 1, while other strong teams, like Penn State and Oklahoma State, which are usually good but not perennial National Championship contenders, are in Tier 2, and so on.

During the early lifecycle stage of College Football 25, only three tiers existed. EA would expand to five tiers shortly after release.

The Tier function is important for online ranked Road to the National Championship mode. In that mode, players can be matched up by tiers, meaning one can pick to choose what Tier team to play. However, be mindful that matching up a team in a higher Tier and winning will yield more progress. On the other hand, playing and winning against a lower-tier team will give less progress.

College Football 25 players can unlock the “What an Upset” Achievement/Trophy by beating a team with a higher Tier team.
