LSU, Ohio State Lead 'Toughest Places to Play' on EA's College Football 27 Rankings

EA Sports released its list for the toughest college football stadiums for visiting teams in College Football 27 on Monday, and the usual suspects—LSU's Tiger Stadium, Ohio State's Ohio Stadium and Penn State's Beaver Stadium—topped the list.

Georgia's Sanford Stadium and Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium rounded out the top five, while defending national champion Indiana and its Memorial Stadium cracked the list at No. 17.

Here's the full top 25:

Rank	Stadium	Team
1	Tiger Stadium	LSU
2	Ohio Stadium	Ohio State
3	Beaver Stadium	Penn State
4	Sanford Stadium	Georgia
5	Bryant-Denny Stadium	Alabama
6	Autzen Stadium	Oregon
7	Ben Hill Griffin Stadium	Florida
8	Neyland Stadium	Tennessee
9	Memorial Stadium	Clemson
10	Kyle Field	Texas A&M
11	Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium	Oklahoma
12	Michigan Stadium	Michigan
13	Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium	Texas
14	Jordan-Hare Stadium	Auburn
15	Husky Stadium	Washington
16	Williams-Brice Stadium	South Carolina
17	Memorial Stadium	Indiana
18	Rice-Eccles Stadium	Utah
19	Kinnick Stadium	Iowa
20	Notre Dame Stadium	Notre Dame
21	Doak S. Campbell Stadium	Florida State
22	Lane Stadium	Virginia Tech
23	Carter-Finley Stadium	NC State
24	LaVell Edwards Stadium	BYU
25	Davis Wade Stadium	Mississippi State

The list was pretty similar to last year's game, with LSU leading the way, though Penn State was No. 2 instead of Ohio State (which came in one place later) and Indiana didn't crack the top 25, among other differences.

There will always be a level of subjectivity to these rankings, of course, though they will tie into EA's goal of adding more atmosphere and pageantry to this year's game. That has included bringing in new fan traditions, chants, mascots, runouts and more to this year's game.

And if you've ever played out a Dynasty with an SEC team on Heisman difficulty, you know those road games to LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida etc. are no walk in the park. They won't be in this year's version of the game, either.
