The countdown has begun for the release of EA Sports College Football 25 and fans everywhere couldn't be more excited to take in the game and all of its fun new features.

Some of the features include a dynasty mode (yes, please) and also a stadium pulse which will make it tougher to call plays as the road team in the toughest places to play in the game.

On Tuesday, the 25 toughest stadiums in college football were revealed as ranked by EA Sports and there were some surprises on the list. Michigan State football fans have to be ecstatic to see that Spartan Stadium made the cut at No. 22.

There aren't many surprises near the top with Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, and Georgia holding the top five spots but Penn State not being in that mix was a bit shocking. The Big Ten has three stadiums in the top 10 and six in the top 20. Michigan State just missed that cut at No. 22 just ahead of Arkansas and Boise State.

Some rival fans may think this is way too high for Spartan Stadium, but when Michigan State is good, there aren't many tougher places to play -- look at the Michigan game in 2021.

When the program is on the right track and it feels like the team, athletic department, and coaching staff all care and are all-in, the stadium is rocking. I have a feeling that's going to be the case under Jonathan Smith moving forward.

Anyone else dying to play this game?
