Oregon State’s numbers are in for EA Sports College Football 27, and the Beavers are sitting in a familiar middle ground as the new game gets set to launch worldwide on July 9, 2026.
The headline change is on defense. Oregon State’s offensive rating stays put from College Football 26, but the defense slips from 79 to 77, which pulls the overall mark down from 77 to 76. With the Pac-12 back as an eight-member football conference, this is the first time since the franchise’s return that players can take Oregon State through a full league schedule without leaning on the game’s custom conferences feature.
On the player side, the Beavers’ highest-rated offensive piece is Tyler Voltin, who comes in at 83 overall at right guard. Eric Olsen leads the skill group on offense at 79 overall at tight end, while Cornell Hatcher Jr. is next at 78 overall at halfback. Maalik Murphy is also at 78 overall at quarterback, and Aeryn Hampton checks in at 77 overall at wide receiver.
The defensive ratings start with Aiden Sullivan at the top of the board. The linebacker is Oregon State’s highest-rated player overall at 85. After him, Jacob Schuster is 82 overall at defensive tackle, Takari Hickle is 81 at edge, Tevita Pome'e is 79 at defensive tackle, and Trey Glasper rounds out the top five defenders at 78 overall at cornerback.
Against the rest of the new-look Pac-12, Oregon State lands right in the pack. Boise State sits alone at the top with an 80 overall mark, powered by an 82 offense and 78 defense.
San Diego State and Texas State are both at 77 overall, with Fresno State and Oregon State tied at 76. Utah State is also at 76, while Washington State comes in at 76 and Colorado State trails the group at 74.
For Oregon State, the ratings tell a pretty clear story: a team that’s solid enough to hang around, but not quite built to scare the league on paper.

The projected depth chart shows a roster with real continuity on both sides of the ball, but it also leaves some key questions hanging as camp approaches. Those open competitions matter even more with Oregon sitting as a 24.5-point favorite at FanDuel, because Boise State will need more than a familiar core to make the opener competitive and set the tone for what comes next.
