LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It's been over three months since the release of 'EA Sports College Football 26,' but we finally have a ratings update.

On Thursday, the folks at EA Sports released their first major player ratings and attributes update for CFB26 since the game came out back on July 7. As you can imagine, given how the Louisville football program has performed to start the year, there are quite a few updates - both good and bad - for the Cardinals.

Despite Louisville's offense being inconsistent at times, their offensive rating got a plus-two bump, and now stands at an 85. With the defense excelling in the first half of the season, the Cardinals' defensive rating is now at an 86 - which is an improvent of plus-four. As a result, UofL improved from being an 82 overall team to 85 overall.
